MOON i 3.3 Integrated Amplifier Front Panel Controls (Cont’d) The “A2” input can be configured as a ‘pass-through’ which bypasses the i 3.3’s gain control section, allowing you to control the gain setting via the connected source component’s own volume control – a home theater processor for example; In other words, this input operates like the input of a power amplifier. In ‘pass-through’ mode, adjusting the volume on the i 3.3 will have no effect whatsoever when the “A2” input is se

MOON i 3.3 Integrated Amplifier Optional Phono Section (Cont’d) Internal Settings There are three (3) types of settings available on the optional phono section of the MOON i 3.3 Preamplifier; Capacitance loading, Resistance loading, and Gain level. Each setting is adjustable through the use of jumpers. For each type of setting, there are 2 banks of jumpers – one each for the left and right channels. This is the result of the phono section’s genuine mirror-image circuit design whi

MOON i 3.3 Integrated Amplifier Optional Balanced Input The balanced input option provides for one additional line-level input on an XLR connector. The “B1” input uses a fully balanced differential circuit and is intended for use with a source component that outputs a fully balanced differential signal. The MOON i 3.3 optional balanced input takes full advantage of the benefits of balanced circuitry: When using an unbalanced interconnect, the audio signal runs through both the center

MOON i 3.3 Integrated Amplifier SimLink™ The SimLink™ provides communication features between various MOON components. For example, if you were to connect the CD 3.3 to the i 3.3 via the SimLink™, pressing the (play) button on the CD 3.3 will cause the i 3.3 to automatically switch to the input labeled ‘CD’. A second feature of SimLink™ involves the “Standby” function. By pressing down and holding the “Standby” button for 2 seconds on the either the CD 3.3 or i 3.3, both units will
