The Evolution
of power amplification ...
The MOON 860A Power Amplifier is a
balanced differential dual-mono
design that effortlessly outputs 200
watts into 8Ω and 400 watts into 4Ω.
Transparency and soundstage are
exceptional, despite this
amplifier's high power rating.
Ultimately, the 860A will mate
seamlessly with any loudspeaker
allowing it to reach its full sonic
potential, regardless of its load.
Several in-house developed
advancements allow the MOON 860A to
perform with both accuracy and
grain-free character; These include
(i) MOON output transistors,
specifically designed for use in our
amplifiers, providing tighter and
more visceral bass performance, as
well as unprecedented linearity
thoughout the entire frequency
spectrum; and (ii) our advanced
"zero global feedback" circuit,
commonly referred to as Lynx.
Of course, both RS-232 and 12 Volt
triggers for custom-install
environments are included as well as
a plethora of user selectable
cosmetic options are available.
Significant Design Features
Full unsolicited RS-232
bidirectional feedback
Lynx circuitry which is a "no
overall feedback" design resulting
in genuine real-time amplification,
a more accurate musical reproduction
with respect to tonality, virtually
non-existent IMD and the
elimination of common phase errors
resulting from feedback
Precision matched and fully
decoupled proprietary MOON Bipolar
output transistors with
unprecedented gain linearity
resulting in improved bass response
and even more accurate
sonic reproduction
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 power supply
12 Volt trigger input/output for
remote operation
"Class A" output to 5 watts for
greater efficiency
A high damping factor yielding
superior musical dynamics, improved
signal speed and refined
timbre accuracy
A very short capacitor-free signal
path for a faster transient response
Stable to any known speaker
impedance
4-Layer PCB’s with pure copper
tracings for a much shorter signal
path; This results in
greater sonic accuracy and a
dramatically improved
signal-to-noise ratio
Ultra rigid chassis construction to
minimize the effects of external
vibrations
Accurate matching of the very finest
quality electronic components in a
symmetrical circuit design
Designed to be powered up at all
times for optimal performance
Low operating temperature for a
longer than normal life expectancy. |
