MOON 330A Silver MOON 330A Black

A musically engaging experience

The MOON 330A is a differential stereo power amplifier that effortlessly produces 125 watts/channel into 8Ω and 250 Watts/channel into 4Ω. Think of tight, deep, authoritative bass with lightning fast speed, an incredibly low noise floor, excellent dynamic range, a transparent lifelike soundstage and the 330A will come to mind. This is the the result of a variety of proven technologies: Our highly acclaimed Advanced Renaissance amplifier circuit with zero global feedback, DC-coupled circuitry and our own proprietary bipolar output transistors. In the end, the class A/AB MOON 330A performs in an exceedingly musical and accurate way.

Our own unique heat-sink geometry allows for ultra-effective and efficient cooling. The amplifier's oversized power supply contains a large proprietary toroidal transformer and substantial energy storage. Finally, with both balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) inputs, the MOON 330A represents the ultimate choice for performance, reliability and affordability.

330A Technical Features

· A "no overall feedback" design resulting in genuine real-time amplification, a more accurate
  musical reproduction with respect to tonality, virtually non-existent intermodulation distortion
  and the elimination of common phase errors resulting from feedback
· An oversized power supply
· Custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal
  loss, yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor. The result is increased
  current speed and better dynamics
· Precison matched proprietary MOON Bipolar output transistors with unprecedented gain linearity,
  resulting in improved bass response and even more accurate sonic reproduction
· A high damping factor for superior musical dynamics, improved signal speed and refined timbre accuracy
· Balanced differential circuitry
· "Class A" output to 5 watts for greater efficiency
· 12 Volt trigger input/output for remote operations
· RS-232 port for (i) full unsolicited bidirectional feedback and (ii) firmware updates
· Rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations
· Optimized selection of very high quality electronic components
· Low operating temperature for an ultra-long life expectancy.
