INTRODUCTION
GOLDMUND EIDOS 36U+ Universal Player
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, home-
networking and music distribution.
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.
