Installation & Placement
The MOON 860A Dual-Mono power amplifier is
both powerful and heavy. It requires reasonable
ventilation to maintain an optimum and consistent
operating temperature, especially since it will radiate
heat when driven hard. Consequently, it should be
placed in a location with empty space around it for
proper heat dissipation. You should never place
another component on top of this amplifier. As well,
the amplifier should be placed on a solid level
surface. You should avoid placing it near a heat
source or inside a closed cabinet that is not well
ventilated as this could compromise the amplifier’s
performance and reliability. The 860A uses two
large toroidal transformers in its power supply; even
though they are well shielded, you should not place
this amplifier too close to source components
sensitive to EMI, such as turntables, phono
preamplifiers and CD Players.
If the surface you have chosen isn’t perfectly level,
each of the four (4) cones of your 860A are height
adjustable; carefully using your fingers, you can
either raise each leg by turning the cone underneath
clockwise, or lower each leg by turning it
counterclockwise.
We strongly recommend that you leave these cones
mounted to the component at all times for reasons
related to both performance and aesthetics.
