Introduction
Thank you for selecting the Nēo 350P Preamplifier
as a part of your hi-fi reproduction system. This
preamplifier has been designed to offer state-of-the-
art high-end performance in an elegant package,
while retaining all the sonic hallmarks on which
Simaudio has made its reputation. We have spared
no effort to ensure that it is among the finest
preamplifiers available. We have been building high-
performance audio equipment for over 30 years, and
the know-how gained through our cumulative
experience is an important reason why MOON
Preamplifiers are so musically satisfying.
The performance of your 350P will continue to
improve during the first 300 hours of listening. This
is the result of a “break-in” period required for the
numerous high quality electronic parts used
throughout this preamplifier.
Before setting up your new Nēo 350P, we
encourage you to please read this manual
thoroughly to properly acquaint yourself with its
features. We hope you enjoy listening to the Nēo
350P Premplifier as much as the pride we have
taken in creating this fine audio product. We
understand the power and emotion of music and
build our products with the goal of faithfully
capturing these elusive qualities.

Your Nēo 350P Preamplifier incorporates many significant design features to achieve its “world-class” level of
performance. This is an abbreviated list of the more important features:
7 line-level inputs (4 single-ended & 2 balanced)
including one front-mounted 1/8” mini-jack for personal
media players
One single-ended audio input which functions as a “pass-
through”, bypassing the gain stage to accommodate a
component such as a home-theater processor, whose own
volume control is used instead.
A full-function monitor loop
Optional internal digital-to-analog converter circuit for
use with a PC, digital music server or external transport,
etc
Optional internal phono preamp circuit with
adjustments for gain, capacitance and resistance loading
Discrete headphone amplifier circuit with the output
on ¼” headphone socket located on the front panel
Fixed (single-ended) and Variable (balanced & single-
ended) line level outputs
RS-232 port for i) full unsolicited bidirectional feedback
in custom installation setups and ii) firmware updates
IR input for external control
12 Volt Trigger Output
SimLink TM controller port allows for 2-way
communications between other compatible MOON
components
Rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of
external vibrations
Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal
performance
Low operating temperature for a ultra-long
expectancy.
