MOON CLASSIC SERIES
W-10 Mono Differential Power Amplifier
|
 
|
|  
|
The MOON W-10 is a fully balanced differential mono-block amplifier produces 750 watts into 8 ohms,
1400 watts into 4 ohms and is capable of driving virtually any loudspeaker. Employing our "Advanced
Renaissance" technology featuring a "no overall feedback" circuit and bipolar output devices, the
W-10 produces a warm, grain free sound common to some of the very best tube amplifiers, but
has the reliability of solid state designs. With respect to external cosmetics, the MOON W-10 is
similar to the W-5, the main exception being the rear panel connections.

Significant Design Features
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 ·
An oversized power supply ·
A custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss,
yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor, resulting in increased current
speed and better dynamics ·
Fully balanced circuitry throughout the entire amplifier ·
Stable to any known speaker impedance ·
"Class A" output to 10 watts for greater efficiency ·
Precision matched Bipolar output devices which offer superb linearity throughout the entire audio
frequency spectrum ·
A high damping factor which yields superior musical dynamics, improved signal speed and refined
timbre accuracy ·
Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations ·
Accurate matching of the very finest high quality electronic components ·
A very short signal path for a faster transient response ·
A symmetrical circuit design ·
A 12 Volt trigger for remote operations ·
Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics ·
Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance ·
Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
