Quick Overview

The MOON P-8 preamplifier is a dual-mono fully balanced differential design, representing the next generation of MOON high-performance audio components. Using several newly developed proprietary technologies, this preamplifier yields absolutely no sonic colorations, a level of transparency second-to-none, and possesses a signal-to-noise ratio would have been considered unattainable until now. Further raising the bar, the P-8 can be fully integrated into a custom-install environment via an RS-232 port. As well, a plethora of user selectable cosmetic options are available at the time of purchase.

· 2-chassis design with the larger chassis housing the power supply, digital controller circuitry and
software processing. The smaller chassis contains audio circuitry ONLY
· RS-232 port for (i) full unsolicited bidirectional feedback and (ii) firmware updates
· 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
· A dual-mono oversized power supply features 6 stages of DC voltage regulation and extensive
choke filtering
· SimLink controller port for 2-way communications with other compatible MOON components
· M-Ray volume control based on the R-2R resistor array configuration using metal film surface
mount resistors with 0.1% tolerances, resulting in no sonic degradation of the audio signal,
regardless of the selected volume setting
· M-Lock for “user selectable” maximum volume setting lock-out for each line input
· Power supply voltage regulation includes i²DCf (Independant Inductive DC Filtering); There is
one inductor dedicated to each integrated circuit type component (DAC, Op-Amp, etc.) in the
audio circuit’s signal path - 40 stages in all
· “Gain offset” for each individual line input with a ±10dB range
· Each line input is fully configurable to be “home-theater ready”, where the gain section of the
P-8 is bypassed
· 530 individual volume steps in 1dB and 0.1dB increments
· 12 Volt trigger outputs for remote operation
· An exceptionally short signal path measuring less than 8 inches in length from the rear panel's
input to output connectors, yielding a much faster transient response
· Fully differential, no global feedback circuit topology, using absolutely no capacitors anywhere
in the audio signal path
· 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
· Improved reliabilty through the elimination of moving parts
· Includes FRM-2 remote control.
