suspension for vibration damping, allowing ambient & spatial cues in your recordings
to come to life like never before
· RS-232 port for i) full unsolicited bidirectional feedback in custom installation setups
and ii) firmware updates
· IR input for external control
· 10 stages of DC voltage regulation
· Internal upsampling with 24-bit/1.411MHz processing
· BurrBrown PCM1798 high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz Digital-to-Analog Converter and
8x oversampling digital filter
· Very precise 25PPM digital clocking system
· Digital Audio Signal Processing using M-AJiC (MOON Asynchronous Jitter Control)
· Advanced analog signal path using a DC servo circuit and proprietary 6dB/octave
analog filter
· SimLink controller port allows for 2-way communications between other compatible
MOON components
· All digital and analog audio circuitry mounted on a single circuit board, each with their
own respective ground plane, to minimize signal path lengths and eliminate any
potential for interference and signal degradation
· PCB w/ pure copper tracings & gold plating that yields low impedance characteristics
· A symmetrical circuit design
· Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance.
