Full unsolicited RS-232 bidirectional feedback · Lynx circuitry which is a "no overall feedback" design resulting in 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 · Custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss, yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor. The result is increased current speed and better dynamics · An oversized dual-mono power supply · SimLink controller port allows for 2-way communications between other compatible MOON Evolution Series components · M-eVOL volume control circuit based on a resistive array configuration with no sonic degradation of the audio signal regardless of the selected volume setting · M-Lock circuit for “user selectable” maximum volume setting lock-out for each line input · Individual “gain offset” for each individual line input with a ±10dB range · Each line input is fully configurable to be “home-theater ready”, where the gain section of the i-7 is bypassed · 130 individual volume steps in 1dB and 0.5dB increments · An exceptionally short signal path , yielding a much faster transient response · 12 Volt trigger output for remote operations · "Class A" output to 5 watts for greater efficiency · Four-layer PCB tracings with dedicated ground and power planes. The advantages include better ground and power supply circuit layouts resulting in a much shorter signal path and a vastly improved signal-to-noise ratio · Ultra rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations · Accurate matching of the very finest quality electronic components in a symmetrical circuit design · Improved reliabilty through the elimination of moving parts · Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
