MOON Aurora Multi-Channel Power Amplifier

Congratulations!

Thank you for selecting the MOON Aurora Multi-Channel power amplifier as a part of your hi-fi reproduction system. This power 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 amplifiers available. We have been building high-performance audio equipment for over 25 years, and the know-how gained through our cumulative experience is an important reason why MOON amplifiers are so musically satisfying.

Your new amplifier is configured in either five or seven channels depending on the choice you made. The five channel model can be upgraded to seven channels since it allows for the two additional channels to be added in at a later time. Both the five and seven channel versions of the Aurora share the exact same chassis and dimensions. The performance of your Aurora 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 MOON Aurora, we encourage you to please read this manual thoroughly to properly acquaint yourself with its features. We hope you enjoy listening to the MOON Aurora Multi-Channel Power 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 customized packaging is specially designed to protect the MOON Aurora amplifier from potential damage that may occur during shipping.
