Operating the 110LP
We recommend that you leave your MOON 110LP
Phono Preamplifier powered up at all times to
maintain optimal performance. In the event that you
plan to be away from your home for a few days,
powering off the Phono Preamplifier may not be a bad
idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that
your 110LP will require several hours of playing time
before it reaches its peak performance after you’ve
powered it up again.
IMPORTANT: A turntable with a
functional cartridge MUST be connected to the MOON
110LP prior to connecting the AC power cord, otherwise
you may damage your amplifier and/or loudspeakers.
Making the AC Connection
For the best sonic performance, it is preferable that you
plug your MOON 110LP power supply directly into a
dedicated AC outlet and avoid using an extension cord.
Then connect the terminated end of the power supply
cord to the input labeled 12VDC, located on the rear
panel of the phono preamplifier’s chassis. In order to
obtain the maximum performance from your audio
system, we strongly recommend that the power supply
cord not come into physical contact with any of the
interconnect cables running to and from your 110LP. In
the event that this can’t be avoided, you should ensure
that any cables coming into contact with each other are
crossed at ninety degree angle to minimize the contact
area.
Powering up your MOON 110LP for the first time
Since this Phono Preamplifier is not equipped with an
on/off power switch, when connecting/disconnecting
the AC power cord you are actually turning the unit
on/off. Prior to making the AC connection for the first
time, make sure that every cable is properly connected
to avoid any problems. Once the 110LP is connected to
an AC source, The blue LED on the unit’s front panel will
illuminate.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (ie. “thumps” and
“pops”) emanate from your speakers when powering
your 110LP on or off, you should i) Always power up
your 110LP before powering up your preamplifier
and/or integrated amplifier and ii) always power down
your 110LP after powering down your preamplifier
and/or integrated amplifier.
