MOON i-5080 Integrated Amplifier
Front Panel Controls
Figure 1: Front panel of Moon i-5080 Integrated amplifier
The front rear panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). The large digital display window indicates the
relative gain setting (from ‘0’ to ‘50’) for both the left and right channels. As well, whenever you
change the selected input source, it’s number will appear in the window for 3 seconds before reverting
back to the gain setting.
The “Stand by/On” button disengages the input section from the rest of the i-5080’s circuitry and
turns off the digital display. However, when in “Stand by” mode all audio circuitry remains powered up
to help maintain optimal performance. When switching back from “Stand by” to the “on” mode, both
the ‘input’ and gain level settings will be memorized from the previous listening session. The red pilot
LED will not be illuminated when the i-5080 is in “Stand by” mode.
When the i-5080 is in “on” mode, holding down the “Stand by/On” for two (2) seconds will turn off the
front panel digital display. Repeating this procedure will turn the front panel digital display back on.
The sonic performance of the MOON i-5080 may improve slightly when the display is turned off.
