Design Features

Your 

MOON 860A v2

 Dual-Mono Power Amplifier incorporates many significant design 

features to achieve its “world-class” level of performance. This is an abbreviated list 
of the more important features:

Proprietary “

Lynx

” Technology which eliminates global feedback.

A custom 

proprietary toroidal transformer design

 with lower magnetic, 

electrical and thermal loss, yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation 
factor, resulting in increased current speed and better dynamics.

Fully 

balanced differential

 circuitry up to the output stage.

Output stable to any known speaker impedance.

Class A output

 up to 5 watts.

RS-232 port

 for i) full unsolicited bidirectional feedback in custom installation setups 

and ii) firmware updates.

An 

oversized

 power supply.

An 

exceptionally short signal path

 for a faster transient response.

Precision matched and fully decoupled 

proprietary MOON bipolar output

 

transistors

 

with unprecedented gain linearity resulting in improved bass response and even more 
accurate sonic reproduction.

high damping factor

 which yields superior musical dynamics, improved signal speed 

and refined timbre accuracy.

Ultra 

rigid chassis construction

 to minimize the effects of external vibrations.

Designed to be 

powered up at all times

 for optimal performance.
