W-8
The MOON W-8 Power Amplifier is a dual-mono balanced differential design, representing the next generation of MOON high-performance audio components. Producing 250 watts per channel of uncolored high-current output power at 8 ohms (500 wpc into 4 ohms & 1000wpc into 2 ohms), the W-8 will drive virtually any loudspeaker to its maximum capabilities with incredible ease. This achievement is due, in part, to our new proprietary”Lynx” amplification circuit. Further raising the bar, the MOON W-8 can be fully integrated into a custom-install environment via an RS-232 port and 12V trigger. 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
· Lynx circuitry which is a ”no overall feedback” design resulting in genuine real-time
amplification, a more accurate musical reproduction with respect to tonality, virtually
non-existent intermodulation distortion and the elimination of common phase errors
resulting from feedback
· Custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and
thermal loss, yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor. The
result is increased current speed and better dynamics
· An oversized dual-mono power supply
· 12 Volt trigger input/output for remote operation
· ”Class A” output to 5 watts for greater efficiency
· Precision matched and fully decoupled Bipolar output devices which offer superb
linearity throughout the entire audio frequency spectrum
· A high damping factor yielding superior musical dynamics, improved signal speed
and refined timbre accuracy
· A very short capacitor-free signal path for a faster transient response
· Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics
· Stable to any known speaker impedance
· 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
· Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance.
