Features & Specs
Ultra-low-noise performance for more lifelike vinyl playback
The 310LP focuses on lowering the noise floor so quiet passages stay quiet and micro-detail remains intact. This helps preserve ambience, instrument decay, and the natural “space” of recordings.
Gain options that suit both MM and MC cartridges (and both output types)
Multiple gain settings make it easier to optimize output level, noise, and headroom based on cartridge output. Balanced operation also provides gain options tailored to XLR connectivity for compatible systems.
Cartridge-matching flexibility through impedance and capacitance loading
Loading adjustments let you refine tonal balance, transient snap, and tracking behavior—especially helpful when moving between cartridges or fine-tuning a high-resolution analog front end.
RIAA or IEC equalization curve selection
RIAA is the standard playback curve, while IEC can help reduce subsonic energy that may cause woofer pumping or muddy low end in certain setups. This is a practical tool for tailoring playback to your system and records.
Balanced XLR outputs for cleaner, more transparent system integration
Using balanced connections can reduce susceptibility to hum and interference, especially in complex racks or longer cable runs. The result is often improved clarity, dynamics, and midrange openness.
Premium build: isolated toroidal power supply, i2DCf filtering, and 4-layer PCB
The power supply and board design aim to shorten the signal path and stabilize operation under real-world conditions. This supports better signal-to-noise performance, cleaner transients, and consistent musical results over time.

MOON 310LP Phono Preamplifier
The MOON 310LP Phono Preamplifier is built to extract more realism, texture, and dynamic impact from vinyl—without adding noise, glare, or “hi-fi” edge. Its upgraded low-noise power supply and ultra-short signal path help create a blacker background, letting fine cartridge detail and room ambience come through with greater clarity and scale. Designed for serious vinyl listeners using either MM or MC cartridges, the 310LP offers wide-ranging internal adjustments for gain, resistance loading, and capacitance loading—so you can dial in your cartridge precisely instead of settling for “close enough.” You can also choose between RIAA and IEC equalization curves, and take advantage of balanced XLR outputs to reduce noise and improve transparency when paired with balanced gear. The MOON 310LP is part of ListenUp's Moon Phono Preamplifier Collection.

MOON 310LP Q&A:
What type of cartridges does the MOON 310LP support—MM, MC, or both?
The 310LP supports both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, with internal adjustments to match gain and loading for each type.
Can the 310LP be tuned to match my specific cartridge?
Yes. Internal jumper settings allow you to adjust gain, resistance (impedance) loading, and capacitance loading to better align with your cartridge’s requirements.
What loading options are available on the 310LP?
Input impedance can be set to 47Ω, 100Ω, 470Ω, 1kΩ, or 47kΩ, and input capacitance can be set to 0pF, 100pF, or 470pF.
Does the 310LP offer different EQ curves for records?
Yes. It can be set to either the standard RIAA curve or the IEC curve, which applies a subsonic filtering effect (-7dB at 10Hz) to help reduce unwanted low-frequency rumble.
What gain settings are available, and do they change with balanced output?
For RCA output the gain is adjustable to 40/54/60/66dB, and for balanced XLR output it’s 46/60/66/72dB, helping optimize noise and headroom with different cartridges and systems.
When should I use the balanced XLR outputs?
Use XLR outputs when connecting to a balanced preamp or integrated amplifier to help lower noise, improve dynamics, and increase midrange transparency.
Can I upgrade the 310LP with an external power supply?
Yes. The unit can be driven by a compatible external power supply via its DC Power connection for further performance potential in the right system.
What’s included in the box?
The 310LP includes an AC power cable/cord, the owner’s manual, and warranty/product registration information (USA and Canada only).
