The MOON 700i is the ultimate Integrated Amplifier. Intended to meet the needs 
of the most demanding music connoisseurs, it is fully differential dual-mono 
design, rated at 175 watts/channel into 8 ohms (350 wats into 4 ohms), offer-
ing authority,finesse and superb control. Using a variety of new technologies 
developed since the introduction of the Evolution Series, the MOON 700i pro-
vides more sonic transparency and accuracy than previously thought possible.
Setting a new standard for Integrated Amplifiers !  
 
RS-232 port for (i) full unsolicited bidirec-
tional feedback and (ii) firmware updates; 
IR input for external control; 12V trigger 
for remote operation; SimLink controller 
port allows for 2-way communications 
between other compatible MOON compo-
nents 
Four-layer PCB tracings resulting in a much 
shorter signal path and dramatically improved 
signal-to-noise ratio
There is a warmth and naturalness to the soundstage 
that must be heard to be believed.
Significant Design Features 
Lynx circuitry which is a “no overall 
feedback” design resulting in genuine 
real-time amplification, a more accurate 
musical reproduction with respect to 
tonality, virtually  non-existent inter-
modulation distortion and the elimination 
of common phase errors resulting from 
feedback
Ultra rigid chassis construction to minimize the 
effects of external vibrations 
 The preamplifier section is mounted on its  
   own dedicated circuit board (located  
   below the main board) resulting  
   in lower crosstalk 
• 
For each line input: M-Lock for “user  
   selectable” maximum volume setting lock- 
   out and “Gain offset” with a ±10dB range;  
   can be configured to be “home-theater  
   ready”, where the gain section of the 700i  
   is bypassed 
• 
Proprietary MOON Bi-Polar output  
   transistors with unprecedented signal  
   linearity and ultra-low noise characteristics 
• 
“Class A” output to 5 watts for  
   greater efficiency 
• 
Fully balanced differential circuitry in a  
   dual-mono design
An massive dual-mono power supply 
using custom proprietary toroidal trans-
formers for the amplifier section
A separate power supply for the  
preamplifier circuit
 M-eVOL2 volume control circuit using  
   MDAC’s (operating in a current steering  
   R-2R configuration) which alter the  
   audio signal’s amplitude yielding no  
   sonic degradation of the signal, regard 
   less of the selected volume setting; A  
   total 530 individual volume steps in 1dB  
   and 0.1dB increments 
New  technologies  include  (i)  the  M-eVOL2  volume  control,  with  a  
phenomenal  530  steps,  allowing  for  an  extremely  precise  level  
adjustment  just  like  the  MOON  P-8  Preamplifier;    (ii)  New  MOON  output 
transistors
,  specifically  designed  for  use  in  our  amplifiers,  provide  tighter 
and  more  visceral  bass  performance,  as  well  as  unprecedented  linearity 
thoughout the entire frequency spectrum;   (iii) An input stage circuit which 
reduces  noise,  preserving  image  focus  and  integrity  like  never  before.
