Simaudio launches the
MOON 350P
Differential Preamplifier
Digital ... Analog ... or Both
Simaudio Ltd. proudly introduces the MOON 350P Differential Preamplifier, our latest addition to the MOON Series of audio components.
Using circuitry derived from our MOON Evolution Series, the 350P is a modular design that accepts optional plug-in modules:
(i) a 24-bit/192kHz high-performance D/A converter with USB, RCA (S/PDIF), and Optical (TosLink) inputs; (ii) a configurable MC/MM Phono stage. The 350P’s wide bandwidth
and excellent dynamic range allows it to effortlessly reproduce high-resolution audio. A well organized and thorough rear panel allows for connectivity to virtually any audio component.
The 350P includes a discrete headphone amplifier stage which allows it to effortlessly drive even the world’s finest headphones.
An audiophile-grade product with a toroidal tranformer-based large power supply, military-spec passive and active components, and state-of-the-art surface-mount manufacturing
techniques help make the MOON 350P the finest affordable MOON preamplifier to date.
Significant Design Features:
- Optional internal digital-to-analog converter circuit for use with a PC, digital music server or external transport, etc
- Optional internal phono preamp circuit with adjustments for gain level as well as capacitance and resistance loading
- 7 line-level inputs (4 Single-ended & 2 balanced) including one front-mounted 1/8” mini-jack for personal media players
- Discrete headphone amplifier circuit with the output on ¼” TRS jack located on the front panel
- One single-ended input which functions as a “pass-through”, bypassing the gain stage to accommodate a component such as a home-theater processor, whose own volume control is used instead
- A full-function monitor loop
- Fixed (single-ended) and Variable (balanced & single-ended) line level outputs
- An oversized power supply using 2 toroidal transformers in conjunction with 3 stages of DC voltage regulation
- IR input for external control and a 12 Volt Trigger Output
