MOON P-3 Stereo Preamplifier
Installation Tips
The MOON P-3 Stereo preamplifier should be placed on a rigid surface to prevent any accidents
such as falling over. It is highly recommended that it sits on its own dedicated shelf.
This preamplifier has side-mounted heat sinks; Consequently, it should both be placed in a location
with empty space around it for proper heat dissipation. You should never place another component on
top of ths preamplifier. As well, you should avoid placing it near a heat source or inside a closed
cabinet that is not well ventilated. This could compromise the preamplifier’s performance and reliability.
Once you have decided on a location for your P-3, you should install the four (4) pointed screw-on tips
onto the cones of the chassis. These tips will easily scratch most surfaces, therefore it’s advisable to
follow these instructions:
1) Place your P-3 on a soft surface (i.e. carpet) and carefully turn it so that it rests on its side.
2) Screw one tip onto each of the four cones.
3) Carefully move your P-3 to it’s pre-determined location.
Included with these tips is a small metal rod, intended for final adjustments (if necessary) by simply
threading it through the tiny hole of each of these tips and then gently turning. These adjustable
screw-on tips serve two purposes: Mechanical grounding of the chassis and compensation for surfaces
that aren’t perfectly level.
Since household dust is an excellent insulator of heat, we suggest that you clean both of the curved
side-mounted heat sinks on a regular basis. A smooth nylon brush with long bristles (i.e. paint brush)
is recommended for this task.
Finally, you should make all of your audio signal connections prior to making the AC connection
between the P-3 and the AC wall outlet.
