MOON 600i Dual-Mono Integrated Amplifier
Introduction
Your MOON 600i dual-mono integrated amplifier incorporates many significant design features to achieve its “world-class”
level of performance. This is an abbreviated list of the more important features:
Our “no overall feedback” amplifier circuit design. The results are: Real-time amplification is achieved since interactions
from the speaker back to the amplifier are virtually eliminated; More accurate musical reproduction with respect to tonality;
Virtually non-existent transient intermodulation distortion (which is far more degrading to sonic performance than harmonic
distortion); The elimination of common phase errors resulting from feedback.
Full unsolicited RS-232 bidirectional 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 and “Class A” power output to 5 watts for greater efficiency
SimLink controller port allows for 2-way communications between other compatible MOON Evolution Series components
M-eVOL2 volume control circuit using MDAC’s (operating in a current steering R-2R configuration) which alter the audio
signal’s amplitude and yield no sonic degradation of the signal regardless of the selected volume setting
M-Lock circuit for “user selectable” maximum volume setting lock-out for each line input
Gain offset for each individual line input with a ±10dB range
Proprietary MOON Bipolar Output transistors with unprecedented gain linearity resulting in improved bass
response and even more accurate sonic reproduction
Each line input is fully configurable to be “home theater ready”, where the volume control of the 600i is bypassed
530 individual volume steps in 1dB and 0.1dB increments
Four-layer pure copper PCB tracings; The advantages include better ground and power supply circuit layouts resulting
in a much shorter signal path and dramatically improved signal-to-noise ratio
Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations
Accurate matching of the very finest quality electronic components in a symmetrical circuit design
Installation & Placement
The MOON 600i dual-mono integrated amplifier is very heavy. It requires reasonable ventilation to maintain an optimum and
consistent operating temperature. Consequently, it should be placed in a location with empty space around it for proper heat
dissipation. As well, it 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 integrated amplifier’s performance and reliability.
You
should never place another component directly on top of this integrated amplifier.
Once you’ve decided on a location for the 600i Integrated Amplifier, you should install the four (4) pointed screw-on cones
into the threaded holes located on the bottom of the four (4) the corner posts of both the chassis.
These cones could
potentially scratch some surfaces, therefore it’s advisable to follow these instructions:
Place your 600i on a soft
surface (i.e. carpet) and carefully turn it so that it rests on its side. Screw one cone onto each of the four posts. Carefully
move the chassis to it’s pre-determined location.
In the event that the surface you have chosen isn’t perfectly level, each of the four (4) legs of your 600i are height
adjustable; carefully using your fingers, you can either raise each leg by turning the cone underneath clockwise, or lower each
leg by turning it counterclockwise.
