MOON ROCK Mono Differential Amplifier
The MOON ROCK is a fully balanced differential mono-block amplifier that produces an ultra-high-current output signal to a maximum continuous rating of 1000 watts into 8 ohms and 2000 watts into 4 ohms, easily capable of driving virtually any loudspeaker. Using 32 bipolar output devices in conjunction with internal electronic component matching to exceptionally low tolerances, the ROCK pushes the boundaries of solid-state amplifier design. With a very strong emphasis on form and finish, this amplifier includes a customized 2 inch thick solid granite base, weighing in at over 120 lbs., as well as an anodized top cover.
Significant Design Features
A custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss, yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor, resulting in increased current speed and better dynamics · An oversized power supply · Fully balanced circuitry throughout the entire amplifier · Stable to any known speaker impedance · "Class A" output to 20 watts for greater efficiency · Virtually non-existent inter-modulation distortion · Extremely fast circuitry yielding real-time amplification · Mechanical grounding accomplished through the use of a solid granite base · Precision matched and fully decoupled Bipolar output devices which offer superb linearity throughout the entire audio frequency spectrum · A high damping factor which yields superior musical dynamics, improved signal speed and refined timbre accuracy · Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations · Accurate matching of the highest quality electronic components to tolerances as low as 0.01% · A very short signal path for a faster transient response · A symmetrical circuit design · Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics · A 12 Volt trigger for remote operations · Two pairs of high quality binding posts to facilitate bi-wiring · Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance · Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
