MOON 861

The MOON 861 is a power amplifier that embodies the legacy of the prestigious MOON 888, while integrating the innovative design philosophy of the North Collection. This amplifier represents the pinnacle of sonic control and transparency, delivering an audio reproduction of extraordinary depth and tonal richness.

At the heart of the MOON 861 lies the sophisticated MDCA (MOON Distortion-Cancelling Amplifier) circuit, an engineering innovation that ensures an audio signal resolution with the highest level of detail and dynamism. Every musical nuance is rendered with absolute purity, providing an uncompromising listening experience.

The power supply is a true masterpiece of engineering, featuring two low-noise MOON transformers of 1,500 VA and 228,000 µF capacitance, ensuring impeccable thermal stability and consistent energy delivery, even during the most demanding musical passages. Its dual mono configuration delivers 300 watts per channel into 8-ohm loads in stereo mode, doubling the power into 4 ohms, or reaching 800 watts into 8 ohms in bridged mono mode.

The result of four decades of research and development, the MOON 861 seamlessly blends refined aesthetics with impeccable craftsmanship, inheriting the exclusive character of the MOON 888. Its iconic front panel is enhanced with a subtle LED indicator, providing refined visual feedback and integrating MOONLink technology, ensuring intuitive and immediate interaction.

Designed for the most demanding audiophiles, the MOON 861 represents excellence in musical reproduction, setting a new standard in the world of high-fidelity audio.
