MOON P-3 Stereo Preamplifier

Operating the P-3

Making the AC Connection

1. Connect the supplied AC power cable to the IEC receptacle, located on the rear panel of the

preamplifier’s chassis. Alternatively, if you wish, you may use a dedicated high-performance AC

cable designed for preamplifiers. Ensure that the AC wall outlet you use has a functioning ground.

For the best sonic performance, it is preferable that you plug your MOON P-3 Stereo preamplifier

directly into a dedicated AC outlet and avoid using an extension cord.

2. In order to obtain the maximum performance from your audio system, we strongly recommend that

the detachable power cord not come into physical contact with any of the interconnect cables

running to and from your P-3. In the event that this can’t be avoided, you should ensure that any

cables coming into contact with each other are crossed at ninety degree angles to minimize the

contact area.

Turning on your MOON P-3 for the first time

Prior to turning the preamplifier on for the first time, make sure that every cable is properly connected

to avoid any problems. Then turn on your preamplifier in the following manner:

1) Flick the main rocker switch labeled “POWER” to the ‘1’ (on) position on the rear of the P-3.

2) Press the push button labeled “Stand by/On” on the P-3. The blue LED will illuminate and the digital

display will indicate a gain setting of ‘0’ and the ‘CD’ as the default input.

On and Off Sequence

To avoid having any annoying noises (i.e. “thumps” and “pops”) eliminate from your speakers when

powering your P-3 on or off, you should

1) Always power up your P-3 preamplifier before powering up your amplifier.

2) Always power down your P-3 after powering down your amplifier.

We recommend that you leave your MOON P-3 Stereo preamplifier powered up at all times to

maintain optimal performance. In the event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days,

powering off the amplifier may not be a bad idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that

your P-3 will require several hours of playing time before it reaches its peak performance after you’ve

powered it up again.
