The MOON Air Analog FM Tuner is the ultimate tool for discovering new musical
recordings and artists over the FM airwaves. A high resolution source component,
the MOON Air will bring you so much closer to the radio broadcast than you've
been accustomed to in the past, with inner detail and sonic transparency that
you would least expect from an FM tuner.

The reasoning behind an analog design (as opposed to a Phase Locked Loop digital
circuit) was three-fold: 1) a more precise adjustment to the center of a
desired station frequency, which in turn maximizes stereo separation 2) the
ability for minimizing on-frequency interference by tuning slightly off center
in certain situations such as when operating in urban centers and 3) superior
sonic performance by maintaining the audio signal in the analog domain
throughout the entire circuit.
