MOON Equinox SE CD Player
Rear Panel Connections
Figure 2: MOON Equinox
SE
Rear panel
The rear panel will look similar to Figure 2 (above). On the left side is the analog audio output. There is one pair of RCA
analog audio output connectors that you should connect to a stereo analog input on your preamplifier or integrated amplifier.
Don’t hesitate to use good quality interconnect cables.
There is one (1) “Digital Audio Output” located near the center of the rear panel. It uses an RCA connector labeled “S/PDIF”
which allows you to use the Equinox
SE
as a CD transport whereby, digital signal processing will be handled externally by
another DAC or surround processor. You should use a 75
Ω
digital audio cable terminated with RCA connectors.
Finally on the right side is the “AC Power” section with a main power switch (“0”=off, “1”=on) and IEC receptacle for the
included AC power cord. Alternatively, you may use a dedicated high-performance AC power cord designed for CD Players.
All rear panel connectors have been chosen because they provide the best possible connections for your unit. A poor contact
will degrade the signal substantially, and plugs and sockets should all look clean and free of dirt and corrosion. The easiest
way to clean them is to remove the cables from their sockets and push them back in again. This procedure requires that your
CD Player and the rest of your components be completely turned off. Not heeding this warning may result in serious damage
to your equipment. Special contact cleaning fluids and enhancers should not be used, as they deposit a difficult to remove
residue which degrades the performance of your components.
