MOON W-7m Mono Power Amplifier
Rear Panel Layout
Figure 1: Rear panel of Moon W-7m Mono Amplifier
The rear panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). There is one balanced (differential) input on an XLR connector and one unbalanced (single-ended) input on a RCA connector. There is no switch to toggle from balanced mode to single-ended mode. You may operate the amplifier in either mode, but only one mode at one time. In the event that you’re using the balanced XLR input, you must first remove the factory installed “dummy” XLR jumper (see figure 2 below) from the back panel XLR connector and store it in a safe place. This jumper is required ONLY when using the single-ended RCA input. In the event that you decide to switch to single-ended input mode, you must reinstall the XLR jumper (between pins 1 and 3) exactly as show below:

There are two pairs of heavy duty gold-plated speaker binding posts to accommodate bi-wiring.
The upper mid-section has an RS-232 input on a DB9 connector. To the right of this connector are two 12 Volt triggers, each on a 1/8” mini-jack; one input and one output, the latter for use in the event that wish you to “daisy chain” a second power amplifier on the same trigger circuit. The lower mid-section has from left to right; the “AC Fuse” socket cover; the power “main switch”; and the “AC Input” IEC receptacle for the power cord.
