MOON 110LP Phono Preamplifier
Introduction
Your MOON 110LP Phono Preamplifier incorporates many significant design features to achieve its “world class” level of
performance. This is an abbreviated list of the more important features:
End-user adjustable impedance loading (100 and 47k ohms).
End-user adjustable capacitance loading (0 and 100pF).
End-user adjustable gain settings for moving magnet (40dB) and moving coil cartridges (60dB).
Two-layer PCB tracings using pure copper for low impedance characteristics. The advantages include better circuit
layouts resulting in a much shorter signal path and a vastly improved signal-to-noise ratio.
Inductive DC Filtering for a significantly lower noise floor.
Accurate matching of military-grade components with ultra-tight tolerances using surface-mount technology for
extremely short signal paths.
Compact, rigid all-aluminum chassis with gold-plated RCA connectors.
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 110LP 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 this component’s performance and reliability.
You should never
place another component directly on top of this phono preamplifier.
The 110LP is more sensitive than most other types of audio components to EMI (electro-magnetic interference) from power
supplies and motors. Consequently, it should be placed at a minimum distance of 18 inches from power supplies, turntables,
tape decks, AC line filters, etc.
IMPORTANT: A turntable with a functional cartridge MUST be connected to the MOON 110LP Phono
Preamplifier prior to connecting the AC power cord, otherwise you may damage your
amplifier and/or loudspeakers.
