|
Also available with black faceplate        
|
|  
|
The i-5080 integrated amplifier combines numerous technologies found in Simaudio
MOON preamplifiers and power amplifiers.   Offering very high quality sonic perfromance,
it represents an affordable alternative to the MOON i-5. Features include remote control
operation, 80 watts per channel into 8 ohms and a preamplifier output.

Significant Design Features
An oversized power supply ·
A custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss,
yielding a much better power transfer and lower regulation factor, resulting in improved current
speed and better dynamics ·
An extremely short capacitor-free signal path measuring under 20 inches in length from
input RCA's to output binding posts, eliminating virtually all potential sources of
interference and producing a sonically faster transient response.·
Gain section using a Crystal microprocessor functioning as a "shunt to ground" that doesn't
degrade sonic performance regardless of the setting ·
One single-ended audio input which bypasses the gain stage to accomodate a component,
such as home-theatre processor, whose own volume control is used instead ·
amplifier section using a "no overall feedback" design resulting in real-time amplification,
more accurate   musical   reproduction with respect to tonality, virtually non-existent intermodulation distortion
and the elimination of common phase errors resulting from feedback ·
Class A output to 5 watts to maintain efficiency ·
Precision matched Bipolar output devices which offer superb linearity throughout the entire audio
frequency spectrum ·
Accurate matching of the high quality electronic components ·
A symmetrical circuit design ·
Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics ·
Improved reliabilty through the elimination of moving parts ·
Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance ·
Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
