We are pleased to announce the launch of the MOON 341, a pure analogue integrated amplifier designed for those who value premium sound. Part of the MOON Compass Collection, the 341 brings preamplification and power amplification together in a stylish single chassis, with an integrated phono stage and graphical interface. Its fully balanced analogue preamplifier section features four RCA inputs, including a dedicated phono input, along with one balanced XLR input. The phono stage can be configured via the on-screen menu for use with both MM and MC cartridges, providing refined vinyl playback. The 341 features the industry-leading MOON Hybrid Power (MHP) power supply and MOON Distortion-Cancelling Amplifier (MDCA), technologies derived from the award-winning amplifiers in the flagship North Collection. “The 341 is a new classic,” says our MD, John Carroll. “We know that owners will love the way it delivers a powerful yet detailed performance from both CDs and vinyl.” Contact us to find out more: www.renaissanceaudio.co.uk/moon/p/341 #moonbysimaudio #amplifier #hifi
