  • Page 10 (see the following examples). The MOON 740P is equipped with software that allows the MiND app to control various features of this preamplifier. With the MiND app you will be able to adjust the volume level, mute the output, place the preamplifier into ‘Standby’ mode and then place it back into operational mode.
  • Page 11 (continued) The MOON 740P is equipped with a 12 Volt trigger output. When an input is assigned to the 12 Volt trigger, the device connected to the trigger will automatically start-up whenever you switch to that input. The default setting for all five inputs is on.

    SUPPLY” “INPUT 1” and “INPUT 2” which are reserved for future use when an external power supply will be made available for the MOON 740P. Finally, to the far right is the “AC Power” section with the main power switch (“0”=off, “1”=on) and the IEC receptacle for the included AC power cord.

  • Page 13: Simlink

    A third feature of SimLink™ involves the “Standby” function. By pressing down and holding the “Standby” button for 2 seconds on the 740P, all other MOON components connected via the SimLink will go into “Standby” mode along with the 740P. The same logic applies when switching from “Standby” to active mode.

  • Page 14: Remote Control Operation

    The MOON 740P Dual-Mono Preamplifier uses the ‘FRM-3’ full function, all aluminum backlit remote control (figure 3). It operates on the Philips RC-5 communication protocol and is can be used with other MOON components such as CD Players, DAC’s, Integrated Amplifiers, as well as other Preamplifiers.

  • Page 15: Balanced Operation

    For example, when one conductor is carrying a signal of +10 Volts, the other will be carrying a signal of –10 Volts. When these two inverted signals on a balanced line are output from the MOON 740P, any noise picked up by the interconnect will be eliminated since a differential circuit amplifies only the difference between these two signals: Noise on a balanced interconnect will be equal on both conductors and therefore not be processed.
