Design Features

Your 

MOON 760A

 Dual-Mono 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:

Our “

no overall feedback

” amplifier circuit design. The results 

are: 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 up to the output stage.

Class A output

 to 5 watts for greater efficiency.

Full unsolicited 

RS-232

 bidirectional feedback.

An 

oversized

 power supply.

An 

exceptionally short signal path

 for a faster transient response.

Precision matched and fully decoupled 

proprietary MOON 

Bipolar Output

 

transistors

 with unprecedented gain linearity 

resulting in improved bass response and even more accurate 
sonic reproduction.

high damping factor

 which yields superior musical dynamics, 

improved signal speed and refined timbre accuracy.

Ultra 

rigid chassis construction

 to minimize the effects of external 

vibrations.

Designed to be 

powered up at all times

 for optimal 

performance.
