MOON MC-8 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier
Introduction
Your MOON MC-8 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.
Modular circuit design using edge connectors for each channel’s circuitry, allowing for upgrades “in the field”.
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.
Extremely 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 input for remote operations.
Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance.
