Introduction
Thank you for selecting the Nēo 340i Integrated
Amplifier as a part of your hi-fi reproduction system.
This Integrated amplifier has been designed to offer
state-of-the-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 among the finest
integrated amplifiers available. We have been building
high-performance audio equipment for over 30 years,
and the know-how gained through our cumulative
experience is an important reason why MOON
Integrated amplifiers are so musically satisfying.
The performance of your 340i 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 amplifier.
Before setting up your new Nēo 340i, we encourage
you to please read this manual thoroughly to properly
acquaint yourself with its features. We hope you enjoy
listening to the Nēo 340i Integrated Amplifier 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.
The information contained in this manual is subject to
change without notice. The most current version of this
manual is available on our official website at

Your Nēo 340i Integrated Amplifier incorporates many
significant design features to achieve its “world-class”
level of performance. This is an abbreviated list of the
more important features:
Six line-level inputs including one front-mounted 1/8” minijack for personal media players.
One single-ended audio input which functions as a “pass-
through”, bypassing the gain stage to accommodate a
component such as a home-theater processor, whose own
volume control is used instead.
Optional internal digital-to-analog converter circuit for use
with a PC, digital music server or external transport, etc.
Optional internal phono preamp is available with
adjustments for gain level as well as capacitance and
resistance loading.
Line-level balanced XLR input.
Headphone output on ¼” TRS jack located on the front panel.
Proprietary MOON Bipolar Output transistors with
unprecedented gain linearity resulting in improved bass
response and even more accurate sonic reproduction.
Class A output to 5 watts for greater efficiency.
IR input for external control.
SimLinkTM controller port allows for 2-way communications
between other compatible MOON components.
RS-232 port for i) full unsolicited bidirectional feedback in
custom installation setups and ii) firmware updates.
12 Volt Trigger output.
Rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external
vibrations.
Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal
performance.
Low operating temperature for an ultra-long life expectancy.
