Moon I-3 Brochure

THE ART OF TECHNOLOGY

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - June 28, 2002

Simaudio Ltd. proudly announces the introduction of the MOON i-3 Integrated Amplifier,
our newest addition to the MOON Audio Reference series of audio components. Based on the
well established MOON i-5 Integrated Amplifier, the i-3 delivers "audiophile" performance in a
more affordable package. Over two decades of experience in the design and manufacturing of
amplifiers, preamplifiers and integrated amplifiers have paved the way for the MOON i-3.

Significant Design Features:

• Simaudio's "Advanced Rennaisance" technology which elimin ates feedback, resulting in
real-time amplification, more tonally accurate musical reproduction, virtually non­existent transient intermodulation distortion and the elimination of phase errors.

• An oversized power supply using a custom proprietary toroidal transformer design.

• Extremely short capacitor-free signal path measuring 18.5 inches in length, from input

RCA connectors to output binding posts, yielding a faster transient response.

• A gain section that uses a Crystal microprocessor functioning as a "shunt-to-ground"
that doesn't degrade sonic performance regardless of the output level.

• Rated output of 100 watts/channel into 8 ohms and 160 watts/channel into 4 ohms.

• One input which functions as a "pass-through" that bypasses the gain stage to

accomodate a component such as a home-theater processor, whose own volume control
is used instead.

• Remote control operation.

• J-FET input devices in the preamplifier section.

• Precision-matched Bipolar output devices in the amplification section.

• Class A output to 5 watts for greater efficiency.

• Heavy-duty gold-plated output binding posts.

• Pure copper circuit board tracings with low impedance characteristics.

• Accurate matching of the finest high quality electronic components.

• Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
