Rear Panel Layout
Figure 2: 250i v2 Backpanel
The MOON 250i v2 integrated amplifier also has
onepair of non-amplified outputs labeled ‘PRE OUT’,
located next to the TV input, and is designated
foroutput to a power amplifier with single-ended RCA
inputs in the event that you wish to use your 250iv2
asapreamplifier only. The output level on the
‘PREOUT’ is variable and is adjusted by volume control.
The Phono input is configured for using withaturntable
equipped with an MM (moving magnet) cartridge.
40dBofadditionnal gain is applied to that input.
Don’t hesitate to use high quality interconnect cables.
Poor quality interconnect cables can degrade the overall
sonic performance of your system.
To the right of the input and “PRE OUT” section
areaseries of input/ouput connectors for external
communication. From left to right there are two(2)
“SimLink™” connectors labeled “in” and “out” on 1/8”
mini jacks. Please refer to the next section entitled
SimLink™ for more details. Next, there’s a 1/8” mini-jack
input for use with aftermarket infrared remote control
receivers. Finally, there’s a full-function bi-directional
RS-232 port control and status for custom integration
orautomation on a DB9 connector.
The MOON 250i v2 is equipped with a pair of gold-
plated binding posts. Connect your speakers,
withthecables of your choice, to the 250i v2’s speaker
binding posts. Take care to respect the polarity (“+” , “-”
) of the outputs. Once again, don’t hesitate to use high
quality speaker cables*. Poor quality speaker cables can
degrade the overall sonic performance of your system.
Finally on the far right side is the main power switch
(“0”=off, “1”=on), the IEC receptacle, labeled
“ACInput” for the included AC power cord,
andthe“AC Fuse” socket cover. Connect the supplied
AC power cable to the IEC receptacle. Ensure that
theAC wall outlet you use has a functioning ground.
Forthe best sonic performance, it is preferable that you
plug your 250i v2 directly into a dedicated AC outlet
and avoid using an extension cord.
The rear panel will look similar to Figure 2 (above). There are five (5) pairs of single-ended inputs on RCA
connectors labeled PHONO, CD, DAC. AUX and TV. The RCA input connectors on the rear panel have been
color coded: ‘white’ for the left channel and ‘red’ for the right channel.
