M O O N b y S i m a u d i o Introduction Thank you for selecting the MOON 760A Dual-Mono power amplifier as a part of your music system. This component has been designed to offer state-of-the-art high-end performance in an elegant package, hallmarks on which Simaudio has made its reputation.
M O O N b y S i m a u d i o Design Features Your MOON 760A Dual-Mono Power Amplifier incorporates many significant design features to achieve its “world-class” level of performance. This is an abbreviated list of the more important features: Our “no overall feedback”...
Serial Number Installation & Placement The MOON 760A Dual-Mono power amplifier is both powerful and heavy. It requires reasonable ventilation to maintain an optimum and consistent operating temperature, especially since it will radiate heat when driven hard. Consequently, it should be placed in a location with empty space around it for proper heat dissipation.
Rear Panel Layout Figure 1: 760A Backpanel The rear panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). Each channel has one balanced (differential) input on an XLR connector and one unbalanced (single-ended) input on a RCA connector. There is no switch to toggle from balanced mode to single-ended mode.
