MOON 600i Dual-Mono Integrated Amplifier

Figure 2: Rear panel of MOON 600i Integrated Amplifier
The rear panel of the MOON 600i dual-mono integrated amplifier will look similar to Figure 2 (above). There are two rows of
connectors; the upper row contains one pair of heavy duty gold-plated speaker binding posts for each channel to connect to
your loudspeakers. In between these binding posts are four (4) pairs of single-ended RCA inputs labeled S1, S2, S3, and S4.
This layout is the result of 600i’s dual-mono design, the left channel inputs/outputs are grouped together on one side and the
right channel inputs/outputs are grouped together on the opposite side.
On the lower row, beginning on the left side, you will find a full-function bi-directional RS-232 port control and status for
custom integration or automation using a DB9 connector. Immediately to the right of the RS-232 port are two (2) “SimLink”
connectors labeled “in” and “out” on 1/8” mini jacks. Please refer to the next section entitled SimLink for more details. As
well, there’s a 1/8” mini-jack input for use with aftermarket infrared remote control receivers. Further to the right, there’s a
12V trigger output on a 1/8” mini-jack.
The MOON 600i is equipped with a “Line Out”, that can be configured as either a fixed or variable output (refer to page 10 in
the section entitled “Software Setup” for details). Beside each of the “Line Out” connectors are balanced XLR inputs labeled
B1, with each channel’s input connector located on its respective side, just like the single-ended inputs. Finally, on the right is
the “AC Power” section with the “AC Fuse” socket cover, a main power switch (“0”=off, “1”=on) and the IEC receptacle for
the included AC power cord. As well, don’t hesitate to use high quality interconnect cables. Poor quality interconnect cables
can degrade the overall sonic performance of your system.
All rear panel connectors have been chosen because they provide the best possible connections for your unit. A poor contact
will degrade the signal substantially, and plugs and sockets should all look clean and free of dirt and corrosion. The easiest
way to clean them is to remove the cables from their sockets and push them back in again. This procedure requires that your
integrated amplifier and the rest of your components be completely turned off.
