Raising the bar for the ultimate in A/V Controllers !
The MOON CP-8 is a true flagship Surround Preamplifier / Processor, aimed at the uncompromising provides
enthusiast without price constraints. Designed with sound quality first and foremost in mind, the CP-8
a previously unimagineable level of sonic purity and realism from an audio/video product.
A monumental obstacle that has been overcome by our dedicated engineering staff was the successful implementation of the most recent advancements in both HD
video and digital audio decoding technologies. Coupled with our State-of-the-Art analog circuitry, the MOON CP-8
is foolproof yet simple to operate.

Nearly 2 years of research and development were invested into the design of the MOON CP-8 by people who are
passionate about, and inspired by, both film and music. The ultimate goal was to fully redefine the home-theater experience. The result can be best described
as a flawless nerve center for the most sophisticated and high-performance audio/video systems, regardless of the source material. Each experience will leave
you utterly breathless and yearning for your next home entertainment indulgence.
Exceptional digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters in conjunction with a heavily regulated and oversized power supply yields unprecedented soundtrack
reproduction that the competition's offerings can only hint at. Add an ultra rigid chassis and a very carefully laid out circuit design, the result is the finest
sounding multi-channel processor available today. When used solely as a 2-channel preamplifier for either digital or analog sources, astonishing imaging and a
lifelike soundstage prevail.
Combining the finest available video processing hardware and software, located on circuit boards independant of audio processing, with a dedicated power supply,
creates the most realistic picture yet; Color accuracy that can be best described as a truly organic experience. With the MOON CP-8
at the helm, there's no looking back. Rediscovering classic movies of yesteryear will be as enveloping an experience as taking in the latest BluRay release.
