MOON 700i Integrated Amplifier Q&A:
- What can be connected to the MOON 700i?
- The 700i includes five audio inputs: one balanced XLR input labeled B1 and four single-ended RCA inputs labeled S1, S2, S3, and S4. It also provides a tape monitor loop, a line-level preamplifier output, RS-232, SimLink in/out, an IR input, and a 12V trigger output for broader system integration.
- Can the 700i be used with a home theater processor or source with its own volume control?
- Yes. Each input can be configured for volume bypass, which lets the connected component control the listening level instead of the 700i. This makes the amplifier suitable for home theater integration or for sources that already have their own volume control.
- Can the 700i be used as a preamplifier only?
- Yes. The rear panel includes a line-level preamplifier output so the 700i can be used with a separate power amplifier. The manual also shows 12V trigger operation with an external MOON power amplifier for coordinated on/off control.
- Can inputs be customized for easier everyday use?
- Yes. The setup menu lets you rename inputs, including creating a custom label up to 8 characters, set a maximum volume, apply a volume offset, enable bypass, disable unused inputs, assign the 12V trigger, disable the front-panel IR sensor, change IR code sets, and reset the unit to factory defaults.
- How does Standby mode work on the 700i?
- In Standby, the input section is disengaged and the digital display turns off, but the audio circuitry stays powered to help maintain performance. When the unit returns to active mode, it restores the previous input and volume settings from the last listening session.
- What does SimLink do on the 700i?
- SimLink enables communication between compatible MOON components. It can support automatic input switching in certain setups, synchronize display brightness between linked components, and place connected MOON components into Standby together when the 700i’s Standby button is held for 2 seconds.
