Aesthetix Mimas

Mimas Features:
• 5 inputs, both balanced and single ended: Whereas most companies offer 0, or perhaps one or two balanced inputs on their integrated amps, Aesthetix highlights its commitment to balanced technology by offering balanced (XLR) on each and every analog input.
• Headphone output: Standard headphone output is 1/3 watt into 32 ohms. As an option, a 1 watt into 32 ohms fully discrete, class A amplifier is optionally available. Headphone output is automatically selected when a headphone jack is inserted. Headphones or speaker is easily selected on the front panel or remote, allowing headphones to remain plugged-in if desired.
• Home theater bypass: Each analog input can be defined as a home theater bypass input, allowing easy incorporation into a more complex theater system while maintaining pure two-channel sound quality.
• Preamplifier output: Mimas contains an actively buffered preamplifier output, which can be used to drive a subwoofer or separate power amplifier. The preamp output is fully balanced, and available on XLR balanced jacks and single-ended RCA jacks.
• Display: The front panel display is based on static LED technology and has fully adjustable brightness and Aesthetix’ room light sensing. Fourteen element characters display the selected input name, and two larger seven element characters display the current volume.
• User convenience: Each input can be given its own 4 character name, defined as home theater bypass, have an offset level to match other sources, set the input on or off. Headphones can be turned on or off in software, left / right balance, startup level, maximum level, display settings, and factory presets can be restored.
• Control: An IR extender is available on the back panel, using a 1/8″ stereo jack. This is useful in systems where the Mimas front panel IR receiver is not accessible, such as placed in an enclosed cabinet or separate room. RS232 is standardly available on a DB-9 connector.
