Goldmund was founded in 1978 and has ever since been dedicated to the accurate

reproduction of sound and image.

At Goldmund, we strive to lead in the creation, development and manufacture of the

industry’s most advanced technologies, including audio and video systems.

The guiding principle at Goldmund is to produce a precise sound with the least possible

loss of quality through the different stages. Goldmund will never adopt a technology before

it is sufficiently developed to satisfy the high quality standards we set. This is why

Goldmund has often rejected mainstream technologies and developed its own.

The PROLOGOS active speaker uses very innovative technologies to achieve a level of

definition and neutrality never found before in a speaker system.

If you need to return the speakers to the factory or to your local representative for a

warranty repair, please note that it must be repacked in the original packing. This

packaging has been designed especially to protect the speaker in transit. Use of alternative

packaging will almost inevitably result in damage, which cannot be covered by the

warranty.

A rigid floor is very important for the optimal sonic result of your PROLOGOS.

In stereo, the ideal location of the speaker in the room has to be found by experiment.

Avoid standing the speakers in the corner of the room and try to set them away from any

adjacent wall by 60cm (2 feet) minimum. The proper listening position is located by 1 to 1.5

times the distance between the speakers at equal distance from each. If the room size

permits, try separating the speakers by minimum 3m (10’) to provide a large stereo image.

In multi-channel system, it is recommended to put the speakers as close as possible to the

positions shown in the figure below:

Front-Left

25° - 30°

100° - 115°

Depending on the room acoustics, the speakers may be standing parallel or slightly tilted

toward the listener.

The PROLOGOS has an event on the bottom base,

which must not be obstructed. To avoid operational

problems it is not recommended to put the speaker on

a flat base like on a bookshelf, see next chapter

•First put the speaker on its side on the floor. Use a soft cushion to avoid damaging

it.

•Screw the pointed bar in the threading accessible in the speaker’s bottom plate (2).

Tighten it as much as you can.

•Screw the two black wheels on each side of the PROLOGOS using the two

provided screws (5).

•Lift the speaker and put it on its frame (1).

•Use the second wheel to fix the frame to the PROLOGOS. Tight it as much as

possible (4).

•Adjust the 4 leveling screws of each foot to provide a stable position to the speaker

(3), the weight of the speaker should be put on the pointed bar for a better

mechanical grounding.

Usable in any type of configuration, the PROLOGOS has built-in amplifiers with built-in

input crossovers. The input is an unbalanced digital input (S/PDIF).

When used with a digital input signal, connect the digital cable to the digital input

connector. Since a digital Spdif cable carries 2 channels you may link the digital output to

the next speaker to transfer the second channel.



To achieve optimal performance, please observe the following points:

•The PROLOGOS and the USB dongle or Wireless Transmitter should be placed in

the same room.

•There should be no metallic obstacles between the USB dongle or Wireless

Transmitter and the PROLOGOS, which could influence the wireless link.

•The computer with the USB dongle should not be moved around during playback.

The range of the wireless audio link depends on several factors, such as the amount of

WiFi equipment used in proximity of the PROLOGOS system, as well as the building

materials and the architecture of the room.

Depending on the above mentioned factors, the maximum range will normally be from 5 to

20 meters.

To use the PROLOGOS in wireless, follow these steps:

•Connect the speaker to a mains outlet using the power cords contained in the box.

•Connect the USB dongle to an USB port on your computer or the Wireless

Transmitter to the corresponding output channel of your acoustic processor.

•If you use the USB dongle: in your computer’s audio settings, select the USB

dongle as the audio output. If you use the Wireless Transmitter: contact your

Goldmund representative who will be able to load and change the configuration file

into your acoustic processor.

The system is now set up and ready to be used. The volume is set directly on the computer

(when used with the Dongle) or on the acoustic processor (when used with a Transmitter).

The PROLOGOS and the associated USB Goldmund dongle are delivered prepaired from

the factory. This means that your speakers can only function with the dongle that was

paired with it. However, if you would like to do a re-pairing of the speaker with the dongle

for any reason, please follow these steps:

- Connect the USB dongle to your computer or the Wireless Transmitter to your

acoustic processor.

- Insert a small screwdriver into the pairing hole located on the back panel of your

speaker, just above the input RCA.

- Gently press the internal pairing button using the screwdriver.

- As soon as the pairing is done, the led locking led will light up.

- The pairing is done.

In case you lose your dongle, you can order another one from your distributor who will also

pair it to your speakers.



The digital signal is treated with the Proteus technology. The PROLOGOS has no active

filtering (hardware crossover).

The PROLOGOS uses a full digital filtering, the crossover is made by software inside the

DSP speaker board.

Only an official Goldmund representative is able to load and change the configuration file,

do not change it by yourself.

Due to the high gain of the

PROLOGOS speaker, please make

sure that the media player is set to a

low output level, before connecting the

dongle to the computer.

A wrong setting can damage the speakers; the warranty will not cover any factory change

without the approval of an official Goldmund representative

The PROLOGOS is automatically powered ON when it receives modulation. When the

digital input does not receive any data for 3 seconds, the drivers are muted. They are de-

muted as soon as a signal is present on the digital input and the orange led will light up.

Main power must not be removed while the PROLOGOS is not muted (please wait 3

seconds after the music stops before removing the mains power).

The PROLOGOS active speaker has been tested at the factory. However, as any high

quality speaker system, the PROLOGOS needs several days playing music before

reaching the top sonic quality they are built for. The few first hours can be very frustrating

for a demanding listener.

Do not hesitate to let them play quite loud for some time before attempting any real system

tuning or position adjustment.

To clean the metal case of the speaker, you can use a clean, soft, damp cloth. Dampen

with water or a mild detergent solution. Avoid abrasive or harsh cleansers (e.g. Products

containing sodium carbonate).

The identification plate is plated with precious metal. Simply clean it with a soft cloth,

without any chemical solution.
