Rear Panel Connections - moon 860A Evolution Series Owner's Manual

Rear Panel Connections

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. You may operate the amplifier in either mode, but only one mode at one
time for each channel.
When you're using the balanced XLR inputs, you must
first remove the factory installed "dummy" XLR
jumpers (see figure 2 below) from the back panel XLR
connectors and store them in a safe place. These
jumpers are required ONLY when using the single-
ended RCA inputs. If you decide to switch to single-
ended input mode, you must reinstall the XLR jumpers
(between pins 1 and 3) exactly as show below:

There are two pairs of heavy duty gold-plated speaker
binding posts for each channel to accommodate bi-
wiring. They are each labelled "Right Speaker Out" and
"Left Speaker Out".
The lower left section has an RS-232 input on a DB9
connector. To the right of this connector are two 12 Volt
triggers, each on a 1/8" mini-jack; one input and one
output, the latter for use in the event that wish you to
"daisy chain" a second power amplifier on the same
trigger circuit. The lower right section has from left to
right; the "AC Fuse" socket cover; the power "main
switch"; and the "AC Input" IEC receptacle for the power
cord.
