The Simaudio Moon 700i v2 is a premium integrated amplifier featuring a fully differential dual-mono design that offers exceptional sonic transparency and accuracy. It employs proprietary 'Lynx' technology to eliminate the global feedback loop, resulting in more accurate tonality and reduced phase errors. The amplifier includes an oversized dual-mono power supply, Class A operation up to 5 watts for efficiency, and gain offset adjustment of ±10dB per input. Inputs can be configured as bypass inputs to integrate with home theater systems. It uses custom bipolar output transistors for unprecedented gain linearity and has no capacitors in the signal path to avoid coloration. The volume control uses an M-eVOL2 circuit with multiplying DACs for precise, noiseless volume adjustment with 530 steps. The 700i v2 delivers 175 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 350 watts into 4 ohms, with a frequency response of 10 Hz to 100 kHz ±0.1 dB, THD of 0.015% at 1 watt, and a damping factor over 400. It features multiple balanced and unbalanced inputs, including 4 RCA pairs and 1 XLR pair, plus a monitor loop and SimLink control ports. The chassis is ultra-rigid to minimize vibration effects, and the amplifier weighs approximately 27 kg with dimensions 18.75 x 5.5 x 18.1 inches. It is finished in black, silver, or two-tone options depending on region. The 700i v2 is designed for longevity and high performance, suitable for driving demanding loudspeakers with authority and finesse.
