Connecting the Andromeda Power Supply

Figure 1: Connecting the MOON Andromeda (top) to its Power Supply (bottom)

1.There are two connections that must be made between the MOON Andromeda CD Player and its separate power supply as shown above in Figure 1; First, using the supplied 4-pin XLR cable, connect the end with the male pin socket to the plug labeled “DC Power Output 1” located on the rear panel of the power supply. Connect the other end of the cable, with the female socket, to the plug labeled “DC Power Input 1” located on the rear panel of the CD player. Next, using the supplied 8-pin Ethercon cable (both ends are identically terminated), connect one end to the plug labeled “DC Power Output 2” located on the rear panel of the power supply. Connect the other end of the cable to the plug labeled “DC Power Input 2” located on the rear panel of the CD player. Do not attempt to modify the lengths these cables – they are specifically designed for optimal performance.

2.Connect the supplied AC power cable to the IEC receptacle, located on the rear panel of the CD player’s power supply chassis. Alternatively, if you wish, you may use a dedicated high-performance AC cable designed for CD players. Ensure that the AC wall outlet you use has a functioning ground. For the best sonic performance, it is preferable that you plug your MOON Andromeda CD Player directly into a dedicated AC outlet and avoid using an extension cord.

3.In order to obtain the maximum performance from your audio system, we strongly recommend that the detachable power cord not come into physical contact with any of the interconnect cables in your system. In the event that this can’t be avoided, you should ensure that any cables coming into contact with each other are crossed at ninety degree angles to minimize the contact area.
