The oversized power supply, located within the main chassis, is housed in an isolated enclosure that is constructed from satin coated 14-gauge steel to eliminate all traces of AC artifacts. Within this enclosure is a high quality toroidal transformer, a “pi-type” filter to reduce AC transmission noise and multiple stages of voltage regulation. Finally, on the actual audio circuit, there are 4 stages of M-LoVo – an all new proprietary MOON low voltage DC regulation circuit. Combining all of these factors, the MOON 810LP’s power supply exceeds the performance of a battery power supply with respect to both audio signal-to-noise ratio and voltage regulation.
Significant Design Features:
- The dedicated audio circuit board is mounted on a 5-point gel-based floating suspension which is derived from our M-Octave technology, originally developed for the reference MOON 850P Preamplifier.
- 4 stages of our newly developed M-LoVo MOON low voltage DC regulation circuit; a highly sophisticated circuit made up of a clever combination of IC’s and discrete parts that is virtually free of noise, yielding an exceptionally fast, precise, and stable DC voltage. The result is a power supply with a noise floor of -150dB related to 1.0V, DC – 100kHz.
- Adjustable impedance loading – 64 available settings from 12.1Ω to 47kΩ
- Adjustable capacitance loading – 16 available settings from 0pF to 1120pF
- Adjustable gain settings – 16 available settings from 40dB to 70dB
- Selectable equalization curves for both the RIAA and the IEC standards
- Power supply voltage regulation includes i²DCf (Independant Inductive DC Filtering); There is one inductor dedicated to each integrated circuit type component (DAC, Op-Amp, etc.) in the audio circuit’s signal path – 24 stages in all
- Customized parts include metallized polypropylene film capacitors with very tight tolerances of 1%
- Four-layer PCB tracings with dedicated ground and power planes using pure copper for low impedance characteristics. The advantages include better circuit layouts resulting in a much shorter signal path and a vastly improved signal-to-noise ratio
- Power supply featuring a "pi-type" filter comprised of 35,200uF of capacitance and dual choke inductance (2x 200mH)
- Accurate matching of the very finest quality electronic components in a symmetrical circuit design
- The shortest possible signal path for a faster transient response and the lowest possible noise floor.
