MOON P-5 Dual-Mono Preamplifier
Installation Tips
Both the MOON P-5 Dual-Mono preamplifier and MOON PS-5 power supply should be placed on
rigid surfaces to prevent any accidents such as falling over. It is highly recommended that each unit
sit on its own dedicated shelf.
This preamplifier and accompanying power supply have side-mounted heat sinks; Consequently, they
should both be placed in a location with empty space around them for proper heat dissipation. You
should never place another component on top of either unit. As well, you should avoid placing them
near a heat source or inside a closed cabinet that is not well ventilated. This could compromise the
preamplifier’s performance and reliability.
Although well shielded, the power supply chassis should not be placed too close to source components
sensitive to EMI, such as turntables, phono preamplifiers and CD Players.
Once you have decided on a location for both the P-5 and PS-5, you should install the eight (8)
pointed screw-on tips onto the cones of both chassis. These tips will easily scratch most surfaces,
therefore it’s advisable to follow these instructions:
1) Place your P-5 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) Repeat steps 1) and 2) for the PS-5.
4) Carefully move each chassis 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 each 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 (ie. 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 PS-5 power supply and the AC wall outlet.
