MOON EVOLUTION SERIES
W-8 Dual-mono Power Amplifier
|
 
|
|  
|
The MOON W-8 Power Amplifier is a dual-mono balanced differential design, representing
the next generation of MOON high-performance audio components. Producing 250 watts per
channel of uncolored high-current output power at 8 ohms (500 wpc into 4 ohms & 1000wpc into 2 ohms),
the W-8 will drive virtually any loudspeaker to its maximum capabilities with incredible
ease. This achievement is due, in part, to our new proprietary "Lynx" amplification circuit.
Further raising the bar, the MOON W-8 can be fully integrated into a custom-install
environment via an RS-232 port and 12V trigger. As well, a plethora of user selectable cosmetic
options are available at the time of purchase.
