MOON Aurora Multi-Channel Power Amplifier Congratulations! Thank you for selecting the MOON Aurora Multi-Channel power amplifier as a part of your hi-fi reproduction system. This power amplifier has been designed to offer state-of-the-art hi gh-end performance in an elegant package, while retaining all the sonic hallmarks on which Simaudio has made its reputa tion. We have spared no effort to ensure that it is among the finest amplifiers available. We have been building high-per formance audio equipment for over 25 years, and the know-how gained through our cumulative experi ence is an important reason why MOON amplifiers are so musically satisfying. Your new amplifier is configured in either five or seven cha nnels depending on the choice you made. The five channel model can be upgraded to seven channels since it allows for the two a dditional channels to be added in at a later time. Both the five and seven channel versions of the Aurora share the exact same chassis and dimensions. The performance of your Aurora will continue to improve during the first 300 hours of listening. This is the result of a break-in period required for the numerous high quality electronic parts used throughout this amplifier. Before setting up your new MOON Aurora, we encourage you to please read this manual thoroughly to properly acquaint yourself with its features. We hope you enjoy listening to the MOON Aurora Multi-Channel Power Amplifier as much as the pride we have taken in creating this fine audio product.
