MOON Aurora Multi-Channel Power Amplifier
Introduction
Your MOON Aurora Multi-Channel amplifier incorporates many significant design features to achieve its “world class” level of
performance. This is an abbreviated list of the more important features:
An oversized power supply employing a custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic,
electrical and thermal loss, yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor, resulting in increased
current speed and better dynamics.
"Rack mount ready" faceplate with removeable aluminum cheeks to cover the rack holes when not in use.
Fully balanced differential circuitry up to the output stage.
Class A output to 5 watts for greater efficiency.
Extremely fast circuitry yielding real-time amplification.
Virtually non-existent transient intermodulation (TIM) distortion.
Precision matched Bipolar output devices yielding superb linearity across the entire audio spectrum.
A high damping factor which yields superior musical dynamics, improved signal speed and refined timbre accuracy.
Rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations.
Accurate matching of the very finest high quality electronic components in a symmetrical circuit design..
A very short signal path for a faster transient response.
Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics.
A 12 Volt trigger for remote operations.
Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance.
Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
Installation & Placement
The MOON Aurora Multi-Channel Power Amplifier is powerful and heavy. It requires reasonable ventilation to maintain an
optimum and consistent operating temperature, especially since it will radiate a large amount of heat when driven hard.
Consequently, it should be placed in a location with empty space around it for proper heat dissipation. You should never place
another component on top of this amplifier. As well, the amplifier should be placed on a solid level surface. You should avoid
placing it near a heat source or inside a closed cabinet that is not well ventilated as this could compromise the amplifier’s
performance and reliability. The Aurora uses a very large toroidal transformer in its power supply; even though it is well
shielded, you should not place this amplifier too close to source components sensitive to EMI, such as turntables, phono
preamplifiers and CD Players.
In the event that you intend to place your Aurora in a rack mount type installation, we’ve made the setup as user-friendly as
possible. Simply remove each of the two (2) vertically mounted silver colored aluminum cheeks found on either side of the
front faceplate using an SAE 1/8 inch allen key; You will find two (2) screws located on the rear of each side of the front
faceplate which hold each aluminum cheek in place. When removing these screws, make sure to keep one hand on the
aluminum cheek so that it won’t fall and cause any damage. Once all four (4) screws have been removed, you will have
exposed the four (4) rack mount holes and the MOON Aurora will be ready for mounting in a five (5) rack space area. We
recommend that you store the aluminum cheeks and their accompanying mounting screws in a safe place in the event that
you require them in the future.
