10. The maximum setting can be changed by
rotating the volume control. A slow rotation
makes 0.1dB adjustments and a faster rotation
results in 1.0dB adjustments. Once you’ve
found a desired setting, press “OK” and
“SAVED” will briefly appear in the display
followed by “MAX VOL”. The lowest possible
setting is 40.0dB.
11. The next option to configure for the B1 input is
volume offset. This allows you to compensate
for the different output levels amongst your
various source components you will be
connecting to the 850P. Slowly rotate the
volume control clockwise and “OFFSET” will
appear in the display. Press “OK” and the
factory default of “+6.0dB” will appear in the
display.
12. You can adjust the volume offset in either 0.1dB
(slow rotation) or 1.0dB (faster rotation)
increments to either +10.0dB by rotating the
volume control clockwise or –10.0dB rotating
the volume control counter-clockwise. Once
you’ve found the appropriate setting, press “OK”
and “SAVED” will briefly appear in the display
the “OFFSET”.
13. The fourth configurable option is the volume
bypass feature for use with home-theater
processors and source components that have
their own volume control. When activated, the
volume control of the 850P is bypassed and the
volume level is adjusted using the component
connected to the input. Slowly rotate the
volume control clockwise and “BYPASS” will
appear in the display. Press “OK”.
14. The factory default of “BYPASS N” will appear in
the display. Use the volume control to alternate
between “BYPASS N” and “BYPASS Y” and then
press “OK”. Next you will be asked to confirm
your selection as “SURE ? N” will appear in the
display. Rotate the volume control until “SURE ?
Y” appears in the display. Press “OK” and
“SAVED” will briefly appear in the display
followed by “BYPASS”. When you set the
volume bypass to “Y”, the volume setting you
saved for the input with “OFFSET” will be
maintained.
15. The fifth and final configurable option for the B1
input is to disable it when it won’t be used.
Slowly rotate the volume control clockwise and
“ENABLE” will appear in the display. Press “OK”.
16. The factory default is “ENABLE Y” which will
appear in the display. Use the volume control to
alternate between “ENABLE N” and “ENABLE Y”.
Press “OK” and “SAVED” will briefly appear in
the display followed by “ENABLE”. When an
input has been disabled it will appear only in the
Setup menu as “B1 N/A”.
17. You have now passed through all five
configuration options for the B1 input. At this
point, you can (i) repeat the above process for
the another input by pressing the “Setup” button
and then use the volume control to select the
next input to configure, (ii) exit from the Setup
procedure by pressing the “Setup” button three
times or (iii) continue with the Setup procedure
and either assign the 12 Volt trigger outputs or
reset the 850P back to factory default status
(see the following examples).
The MOON 850P is equipped with software that
allows the MiND app to control various features of
this preamplifier. With the MiND app you will be able
to adjust the volume level, mute the output, place
the preamplifier into ‘Standby’ mode and then place
it back into operational mode. As well, when you
begin playing a music track from the MiND app, the
850P will automatically switch to the input
configured for the MiND. With the MiND app, you
are essentially controlling your entire MOON system
using a hand-held Apple (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch,)
or Android device.
You don’t need to LABEL an input with “MiND” to
achieve these aforementioned functions, but you
must configure one input for MiND functionality. An
example for this scenario would be the MiND 180 D
streaming device feeding a digital signal to a MOON
750D DAC /Transport , which then outputs its
analog signal to the MOON 850P.
