Rear Panel Connections

Figure 1: Rear panel of Moon 820S power supply


The rear panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above).
There are 2 pairs of outputs labeled “Analog DC

Power – Output 1” and “Digital DC Power – Output

2” . The Analog outputs use 4-Pin XLR connectors

and the Digital outputs use 5-Pin XLR connectors.

The “Analog DC Power” outputs are intended to
power the analog circuitry (audio) in the 740P

Preamplifier, 650D and 750D DAC / CD Transports,

as well as, both the 610LP and 810LP phono

preamplifiers. The “Digital DC Power” outputs are
intended to power the digital circuitry

(microprocessors for controller software, front panel

displays, CD drive) in the 740P Preamplifier, as well

as both the 650D and 750D DAC/ CD Transports.

The AC Power “main switch” and the “AC Input” IEC
receptacle for the power cord are located in the

center of the rear panel, between the Analog and

Digital AC Power outputs.


Connecting the 820S

1. Disconnect the AC power cable(s) from your

MOON Evolution component(s) that you will be
using with the 820S power supply.

2. Connect the 4-Pin XLR cable between one of the

4-pin XLR outputs labeled “Output 1” on the rear

panel of the 820S and the corresponding 4-Pin
XLR input on your MOON Evolution component,

as shown in figure 2 on the next page.


3. If applicable, connect the 5-Pin XLR cable

between one of the 5-pin XLR outputs labeled

“Output 2” on the rear panel of the 820S and
the corresponding 5-Pin XLR input on your

MOON Evolution component, as shown in figure

2 on the next page.



4. Connect the supplied AC power cable to the IEC

receptacle, located on the power supply’s rear
panel. Ensure that the AC wall outlet you use

has a functioning ground. For the best sonic

performance, it is preferable that you plug your

820S directly into a dedicated AC outlet and

avoid using an extension cord.


Notes: The example in figure 2 shows a 750D DAC/

CD Transport (top) connected to an 820S (middle)

by both a 4-Pin XLR cable and a 5-Pin XLR cable, as

well as a 610LP Phono Preamplifier (bottom)

connected to the 820S with only a 4-Pin XLR cable.

When using the 820S, the rear panel rocker switch

on any connected component(s) is bypassed.

When no components are connected to the 820S, it

will automatically go into standby mode after 20

minutes.
