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.
MOON Aurora Multi-Channel Power Amplifier Introduction Your MOON Aurora Multi-Channel amplifier incorporates many significant design features to achieve its “world class” level of performance. This is an abbreviated list of the more important features: An oversized power supply employing 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.
MOON Aurora Multi-Channel Power Amplifier Rear Panel Layout Figure 1: MOON Aurora Rear panel Regardless of the number of channels your amplifier has, the rear panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). Depending on the number of channels built into your MOON Aurora Multi-Channel power amplifier, a corresponding number of input connectors and output connectors are located on the back panel.
MOON Aurora Multi-Channel Power Amplifier Connecting the Aurora 1. Connect the input cables, whether balanced or single-ended to the XLR or RCA inputs respectively of each channel you want to use. Needless to say, the signal on the input labeled “1” will be amplified and available to the output labeled “SPEAKER 1”, the signal on the input labeled “2” will be amplified and available to the output labeled “SPEAKER 2” and so on. All channels in the MOON Aurora Multi-Channel power amplifier are identical.
MOON Aurora Multi-Channel Power Amplifier Operating the Aurora We recommend that you leave your MOON Aurora Multi-Channel Power Amplifier powered up at all times to maintain optimal performance. In the event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days, powering off the amplifier may not be a bad idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that your Aurora will require several hours of playing time before it reaches its peak performance after you’ve powered it up again.
