MOON W-6 Mono Power Amplifier

Introduction

Your MOON W-6Mono power amplifier incorporates many significant design features to achieve its “world class” level of performance. This is an abbreviated list of the more important features:

Proprietary “Advanced Renaissance” Technology which eliminates feedback. The results are as follows: Real-time amplification is achieved since interactions from the speaker back to the amplifier are virtually eliminated; More accurate musical reproduction with respect to tonality; Virtually non-existent transient intermodulation distortion (which is far more degrading to sonic performance than harmonic distortion); The elimination of common phase errors resulting from feedback.

A custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss, yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor, resulting in increased current speed and better dynamics.

Fully balanced differential circuitry throughout the entire amplifier.

Output stable to any known speaker impedance.

Class A output to 10 watts for greater efficiency.

An oversized power supply.

An exceptionally short signal path for a faster transient response.

Precision matched Bipolar output devices which offer superb linearity throughout the entire audio frequency spectrum.

A high damping factor which yields superior musical dynamics, improved signal speed and refined timbre accuracy.

Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations.

Accurate matching of the very finest high quality electronic components.

A symmetrical circuit design.

Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics.

Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance.

Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
