MOON 320S Power Supply
Operating the 320S
Since your MOON 310LP Phono Preamplifier is not equipped with its own on/off power switch, powering it on and off is
accomplished via the MOON 320S Power Supply’s on/off switch, located on the rear panel.
We recommend that you leave your MOON 320S Power Supply powered up at all times to maintain optimal sonic
performance. In the event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days, powering off the MOON 320S may not
be a bad idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that both your MOON 320S and MOON 310LP will require
several hours of playing time before they reach peak performance again.

‘1’ (on) position. The blue LEDs on the front panel of both the MOON 320S and MOON 310LP will illuminate at the same

When you power down the MOON 320S, the blue LEDs on both units will remain illuminated for up to 10 seconds; this is
normal and is the result of the large amount of storage capacitance found in the MOON 320S Power Supply.
