Introduction
Thank you for selecting the MOON 110LP v2 Phono
Preamplifier as a part of your music system. This
component has been designed to offer state-of-the-art
high-end performance in an elegant package, while
retaining all the sonic hallmarks on which Simaudio
has made its reputation. We have spared no effort to
ensure that it is amongst the finest phono preamplifiers
available in its class. We have been building high-
performance audio equipment since 1980, and the
know-how gained through our cumulative experience is
an important reason why MOON audio components are
so musically satisfying.
The performance of your MOON 110LP v2 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 phono preamplifier.

Design Features
Your MOON 110LP v2 Phono Preamplifier incorporates
many significant design features to achieve its “world
class” level of performance. This is an abbreviated list of
the most important features:
End-user adjustable impedance loading (47kΩ, 475Ω,
100Ω, 10Ω);
End-user adjustable capacitance loading (0pF, 100pF,
330pF, 430pF);
End-user adjustable gain settings for moving
magnetand moving coil cartridges (40dB, 50dB, 54dB,
60dB, 66dB);
End user selectable curve (IEC/RIAA);
Four layer PCB tracings using pure copper for low
impedance characteristics;
Inductive DC Filtering for a significantly lower noise
floor;
Compact, rigid all-aluminum chassis with gold-plated
RCA connectors;
Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal
performance.

Unpacking
The MOON 110LP v2 should be removed from its box with care.
The following accessories are included inside the box with your unit:
• External AC power supply
• AC mains
• Stick for under-panel dipswitches settings
• Warranty and product registration information (USA and Canada only)
Once the unit is unpacked, inspect it thoroughly and report any damage to your dealer immediately.
We suggest that you keep all of the original packaging, storing it in a safe, dry place in case you’re required
to transport this product. The customized packaging is specially designed to protect the unit from any
potential damage during transit.
Please write the serial number of your unit in the space provided below for future reference.
Installation & Placement
The unit should be placed on a solid level surface. You should avoid placing it near a heat source as this could
compromise this component’s performance and reliability. You should never place another component directly
on top of this phono preamplifier. The MOON 110LP v2 is more sensitive than most other types of audio
components to EMI (electro-magnetic interference) from power supplies and motors. Consequently, it should
be placed at a minimum distance of 18 inches from power supplies, AC line filters, etc.

POWERING UP THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME
Since the MOON 110LP v2 is not equipped
with an on/off power switch, when connecting/
disconnecting the AC power cord you are actually
turning the unit on/off. Prior to making the power
connection for the first time, make sure that every
cable is properly connected to avoid any problems.
Once the unit is connected to an AC source, the
blue LED on the unit’s front panel will illuminate.
1. Connect the turntable output cables to the left and right input connectors of the MOON 110LP v2.
2. Connect the turntable ground cable to the post labeled GND on the MOON 110LP v2.
3. Connect the left and right output connectors of the MOON 110LP v2 to the preamplifier/integrated
amplifier of the audio system using RCA terminated cables.
4. Connect the power supply cable to the input labeled 24VDC INPUT.
ON AND OFF SEQUENCE
To avoid any annoying noises (ie. “thumps” and
“pops”) emanate from your speakers, you should
i) Always power up your MOON 110LP v2 before
powering up your preamplifier and/or integrated
amplifier and ii) always power down your MOON
110LP v2 after powering down your preamplifier
and/or integrated amplifier.
MOON by Simaudio
Basic rule of thumb for typical MM cartridges
(default factory setting) :
Gain : 40dB
Curve : RIAA
Resistance : 47kΩ
Capacitance : 100pF
Basic rule of thumb for MC cartridges :
Gain : 60dB
Curve : RIAA
Resistance : 475Ω
Capacitance : 0pF
Please note that these abovementioned settings
are starting points, but in no way assure that
these are the best settings for any turntable/
cartridge setup.
Always power off the unit (by unplugging
the power supply) before making any change
of input settings via the bottom accessible
dipswitches.
Multiple combinations of settings can be applied
to optimize the input for the cartridge. Ideally
have the recommended settings from the
cartridge manufacturer on hand as a starting
point before any experimentation. And then
you may experiment around the recommended
values for best sound.
To adjust each of the four parameters (Gain,
Curve, Resistance and Capacitance), look at the
position of dipswitches drawn on the silkscreen
representations below the unit, and look for the
desired value of each parameter. Then using the
provided red stick as a tool, move the dipswitch
in the position that corresponds to the desired
value.
