Simaudio Moon 600i V2 Integrated Amplifier
Slim and compact given performance level
“If you want the sound quality of a separate preamplifier and power amplifier in a compact, beautifully engineered package, I can’t think of a better choice than the MOON 600i Integrated Amplifier.”
– Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound
Manufacturers Details:
The MOON 600i v2 Integrated Amplifier is designed to continue where the legendary and award winning MOON i-7 left off. Intended to meet the needs of the most demanding music connoisseurs, it is fully differential dual-mono design, rated at 125 watts/channel into 8Ω, offering authority, finesse and superb control. Using a variety of new technologies developed since the introduction of the Evolution Series, the 600i provides more sonic transparency and accuracy than ever before.
Engineered With Care:
New technologies include (i) the M-eVOL2 volume control, with a phenomenal 530 steps, allowing for an extremely precise level adjustment just like the 850P Preamplifier; (ii) 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. Although rated at “only” 125W per channel, the MOON 600i embodies both authority and finesse at all levels that suggests a much more powerful amplifier, just like all MOON products before it.
Of course, key features you’d expect in a MOON Evolution Series products are present such as our “no overall feedback” amplification circuitry, SimLink™ and M-Lock, just to name a few, as well as both RS-232 and IR ports for custom-install environments. Finally, a plethora of user selectable cosmetic options are available at the time of purchase.
Key Features:
-
Our “no overall feedback” amplifier circuit design for more accurate musical reproduction.
-
An oversized dual-mono power supply.
-
“Class A” power output to 5 watts for greater efficiency.
-
Gain offset adjustment of ±10dB for each line input.
-
Each line input is fully configurable to be “home theater ready”, whereby the 600i’s volume control is bypassed.
