320 S Power Supply

Operating the 320S
Since your MOON 310LP Phono Preamplifier is
not equipped with its own on/off power switch,
powering it on and off is accomplished via the
MOON 320S Power Supply’s on/off switch,
located on the rear panel.
We recommend that you leave your MOON 320S
Power Supply powered up at all times to maintain
optimal sonic performance. In the event that you
plan to be away from your home for a few days,
powering off the MOON 320S may not be a bad
idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind
that both your MOON 320S and MOON 310LP will
require several hours of playing time before they
reach peak performance again.
Turning on your MOON 320S for the first time
Prior to making the AC connection for the first time,
make sure that every cable is properly connected to
avoid any problems. Once the 320S is connected to
an AC source you may power it up by flicking the
main rocker switch labeled “POWER” to the ‘1’ (on)
position. The blue LEDs on the front panel of both
the MOON 320S and MOON 310LP will illuminate
at the same time.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (ie. “thumps”
and “pops”) emanate from your speakers when
powering your 320S on or off, you should always
power up your 320S before powering up your
preamplifier or integrated amplifier. As well, always
power down your 320S after powering down your
preamplifier or integrated amplifier.
Note: When you power down the MOON 320S, the
blue LEDs on both units will remain illuminated for
up to 10 seconds; this is normal and is the result of
the large amount of storage capacitance found in
the MOON 320S Power Supply.
