  • Page 5: Introduction

    MOON amplifiers are so musically satisfying. The performance of your 400M 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 amplifier.
  • Page 6: Unpacking

    The 400M uses a large toroidal transformer in its power supply; even though it is well shielded, you should not place this amplifier too close to source components sensitive to EMI, such as turntables, phono preamplifiers and CD Players.
