Press Release:   MOON 700i Integrated Amplifier

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 01/07/2010

      Power Emotion Soul  


Simaudio launches the MOON 700i  
Integrated Amplifier  




Setting a new standard for Integrated Amplifiers !


The MOON 700i is the ultimate Integrated Amplifier. Intended to meet the needs of the most demanding music connoisseurs, it is a fully differential dual-mono design, rated at 175 watts/channel into 8 ohms (350 wats into 4 ohms), offering authority, finesse and superb control. Using a variety of new technologies developed since the introduction of the Evolution Series, the MOON 700i provides more sonic transparency and accuracy than previously thought possible.

New technologies include (i) the M-eVOL2 volume control, with a phenomenal 530 steps, allowing for an extremely precise level adjustment just like the MOON P-8 Preamplifier; (ii) New MOON output transistors, specifically designed for use in our amplifiers, provide tighter and more visceral bass performance, as well as unprecedented linearity thoughout the entire frequency spectrum; (iii) An input stage circuit which reduces noise, preserving image focus and integrity like never before.


Significant Design Features:

  • Lynx circuitry which is 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
  • M-eVOL2 volume control circuit using MDAC’s (operating in a current steering R-2R configuration) which alter the audio signal’s amplitude yielding no sonic degradation of the signal, regardless of the selected volume setting
  • Proprietary MOON Bipolar output transistors with unprecedented gain linearity resulting in improved bass response and even more accurate sonic reproduction
  • An oversized dual-mono power supply using custom proprietary toroidal transformers
  • The preamplifier section is mounted on its own dedicated circuit board resulting in lower crosstalk
  • 530 individual volume steps in 1dB and 0.1dB increments
  • RS-232 port for (i) full unsolicited bidirectional feedback and (ii) firmware updates; IR input for external control
  • 12 Volt trigger output for remote operation
  • For each line input: M-Lock for “user selectable” maximum volume setting lock-out and “Gain offset” with a ±10dB range
  • SimLink controller port allows for 2-way communications between other compatible MOON components
  • Each line input is fully configurable to be “home-theater ready”, where the gain section of the 700i is bypassed
  • Accurate matching of the very finest quality electronic components in a symmetrical circuit design
  • Four-layer PCB tracings resulting in a much shorter signal path and dramatically improved signal-to-noise ratio
  • "Class A" output to 5 watts for greater efficiency


The MOON 700i is available now with an MSRP $12,000.00 USD
