Operating the 310LP
We recommend that you leave your MOON 310LP
Phono Preamplifier powered up at all times to
maintain optimal performance. If 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 310LP will require several hours of playing
time before it reaches its peak performance after
you’ve powered it up again.
Turning on your MOON 310LP 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
310LP is connected to an AC source, the blue
LED on the unit’s front panel will illuminate,
indicating that the 310LP is now powered up
and ready for use.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (ie. “thumps”
and “pops”) emanate from your speakers when
powering your 310LP on or off, you should always
power up your 310LP phono preamplifier before
powering up your preamplifier or integrated
amplifier. As well, always power down your 310LP
after powering down your preamplifier or integrated
amplifier.
