P-7
The MOON P-7 preamplifier is a dual-mono fully balanced differential design, representing the next generation of MOON high-performance audio components. Using several newly developed proprietary technologies, this preamplifier yields absolutely no sonic colorations, an incredible level of transparency, and a very impressive signal-to-noise ratio. Further raising the bar, the MOON P-7 can be fully integrated into a custom-install environment via an RS-232 port. As well, a plethora of user selectable cosmetic options are available at the time of purchase.
Significant Design Features:
· Full unsolicited RS-232 bidirectional feedback
· An oversized dual-mono power supply using 3 toroidal transformers in conjnction
with 5 stages of DC voltage regulation and extensive choke filtering
· SimLink controller port allows for 2-way communications between other compatible
MOON Evolution Series components
· M-eVOL volume control circuit based on a resistive array configuration with no sonic
degradation of the audio signal regardless of the selected volume setting
· M-Lock for “user selectable” maximum volume setting lock-out for each line input
· “Gain offset” for each individual line input with a ±10dB range
· Each line input is fully configurable to be “home-theater ready”, where the gain
section of the P-7 is bypassed
· 130 individual volume steps in 1dB and 0.5dB increments
· Power supply voltage regulation includes i2DCf (Independant Inductive DC Filtering);
There is one inductor dedicated to each integrated circuit type component (DAC,
Op-Amp, etc.) in the audio circuit’s signal path – 24 stages in all
· 12 Volt trigger outputs for remote operation
· An exceptionally short signal path measuring less than 8 inches in length from the
rear panel’s input to output connectors, yielding a much faster transient response
· Four-layer PCB tracings for a dramatically improved signal-to-noise ratio
· Ultra rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations
· Accurate matching of the very finest quality electronic components in a symmetrical
circuit design
· Improved reliabilty through the elimination of moving parts.
