Rear Panel Connections
Figure 1: Rear panel of MOON 820S
The rear panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). There are 2 pairs of outputs labeled “Analog DC Power –
Output 1” and “Digital DC Power – Output 2” . The Analog outputs use 4-Pin XLR connectors and the Digital
outputs use 5-Pin XLR connectors.
The “Analog DC Power” outputs are intended to power
the analog circuitry (audio) in the 740P Preamplifier,
650D and 750D DAC / CD Transports, as well as, both
the 610LP and 810LP phono preamplifiers. The “Digital
DC Power” outputs are intended to power the digital
circuitry (microprocessors for controller software, front
panel displays, CD drive) in the 740P Preamplifier, as
well as both the 650D and 750D DAC/ CD Transports.
The AC Power “main switch” and the “AC Input” IEC
receptacle for the power cord are located in the center
of the rear panel, between the Analog and Digital AC
Power outputs.
Connecting the 820S
1.
Disconnect the AC power cable(s) from your MOON
Evolution component(s) that you will be using with
the
820S
power supply.
2.
Connect the 4-Pin XLR cable between one of the 4-
pin XLR outputs labeled “Output 1” on the rear
panel of the
820S
and the corresponding 4-Pin XLR
input on your MOON Evolution component, as
shown in figure 2 on the next page.
3.
If applicable, connect the 5-Pin XLR cable between
one of the 5-pin XLR outputs labeled “Output 2” on
the rear panel of the
820S
and the corresponding
5-Pin XLR input on your MOON Evolution
component, as shown in figure 2 on the next page.
4.
Connect the supplied AC power cable to the IEC
receptacle, located on the power supply’s rear
panel. Ensure that the AC wall outlet you use has a
functioning ground. For the best sonic
performance, it is preferable that you plug your
820S
directly into a dedicated AC outlet and avoid
using an extension cord.
Notes:
(i) The example in figure 2 on the next page
shows a 750D DAC/ CD Transport (top) connected to an
820S
(middle) by both a 4-Pin XLR cable and a 5-Pin XLR
cable, as well as a 610LP Phono Preamplifier (bottom)
connected to the
820S
with only a 4-Pin XLR cable. (ii)
When using the
820S
, the rear panel rocker switch on
any connected component(s) is bypassed. (iii) When no
components are connected to the
820S
, it will
automatically go into standby mode after 20 minutes.
