Using the 310LP with an External Power Supply

The MOON 310LP Phono Preamplifier can be operated with the optional MOON 320S Power Supply (purchased separately). Referring to figure 10 below, you will see an array of four (4) jumper sockets labeled STR1, STR2, STR3 and STR4. The factory default position for the 2 jumpers is in sockets STR2 and STR4 (positions B in figure 10).

To properly use the MOON 310LP in conjunction with the MOON 320S, you will need to move these 2 jumpers into sockets STR1 and STR3 (positions A in figure 10). For further details, please refer to your MOON 320S owner’s manual.

In the event that you are using the MOON P-8 Controller as power supply, these 2 jumpers must remain in sockets STR2 and STR4 (positions B in figure 10).

Failure to make these adjustments may cause damage that is not covered by warranty.
