110LP MOON Series

Introduction

Thank you for selecting the MOON 110LP Phono
Preamplifier as a part of your music/cinema system.

This component has been designed to offer state-of­the-art high-end performance in an elegant package,
while retaining all the sonic hallmarks on which
Simaudio has made its reputation. We have spared no
effort to ensure that it is amongst the finest phono
preamplifiers available. We have been building high­performance audio equipment for over 25 years, and
the know-how gained through our cumulative
experience is an important reason why MOON audio
components are so musically satisfying.

The performance of your 110LP will continue to
improve during the first 300 hours of listening. This is
the result of a “break-in” period required for the
numerous high quality electronic parts used
throughout this phono preamplifier.

Before setting up your new MOON 110LP, we
encourage you to please read this manual thoroughly to
properly acquaint yourself with its features. We hope
you enjoy listening to the MOON 110LP Phono
Preamplifier as much as the pride we have taken in
creating this fine audio product. We understand the
power and emotion of music and build our products
with the goal of faithfully capturing these elusive
qualities.

Your MOON 110LP Phono Preamplifier incorporates
many significant design features to achieve its “world
class” level of performance. This is an abbreviated list of
the more important features:

End-user adjustable impedance loading (100 and 47k
ohms).

End-user adjustable capacitance loading (0 and
100pF).

End-user adjustable gain settings for moving magnet
(40dB) and moving coil cartridges (60dB).

v

Two-layer PCB tracings using pure copper for low
impedance characteristics. The advantages include
better circuit layouts resulting in a much shorter signal
path and a vastly improved signal-to-noise ratio.

Inductive DC Filtering for a significantly lower noise
floor.

Accurate matching of military-grade components
with ultra-tight tolerances using surface-mount
technology for extremely short signal paths.

Compact, rigid all-aluminum chassis with gold-plated
RCA connectors.

Designed to be powered up at all times for
optimal performance.

Low operating temperature for a longer than normal
life expectancy.
