MOON 110LP v2 Phono Preamplifier Bring out the full character of your vinyl collection with the MOON 110LP v2 phono preamplifier—an audiophile-grade phono stage designed to make records sound more dynamic, more detailed, and more alive. Built using MOON’s award-winning phono technology, the 110LP v2 delivers a remarkably low noise floor and a clean, fast presentation with tight bass, an open midrange, and extended highs that stay smooth and airy. What makes it especially easy to live with is how quickly you can dial it in: adjustable gain for both MM and MC cartridges, multiple impedance and capacitance loading options, and selectable IEC/RIAA equalization let you match the preamp to your exact cartridge and turntable setup in seconds. Housed in a compact, rigid all-aluminum chassis with gold-plated RCA connectors and a high-quality 24V power supply, the 110LP v2 is a serious upgrade for anyone who wants high-end analog performance without the complexity. The Moon 110LP v2 is part of ListenUp's MOON Phono Preamplifier Collection. Check out ListenUp's REACH FOR THE MOON Trade-Up Program! What It's Good At: Precisely matching MM or MC cartridges with multiple gain and loading options Delivering ultra-quiet backgrounds and clean detail retrieval for more “in the room” vinyl playback Preserving speed, punch, and bass control for a more dynamic, engaging sound Making cartridge upgrades easy—quick adjustments prevent your phono stage from becoming obsolete Keeping signals pure with a four-layer, pure-copper PCB and inductive DC filtering Providing high-end build quality in a compact, always-ready design MOON 110LP v2 Full Specifications: Product type: Phono preamplifier / phono stage Circuit layout: Mirror-image symmetrical circuit Inputs: Single-ended — 1 pair (RCA) Input impedance (adjustable loading): 10Ω / 100Ω / 475Ω / 47kΩ Input capacitance (adjustable loading): 0pF / 100pF / 330pF / 430pF Gain level (adjustable): 40dB / 50dB / 54dB / 60dB / 66dB (MM and MC) EQ curve (selectable): IEC / RIAA Frequency response: 20Hz – 20kHz (± 0.5dB) Signal-to-noise ratio (full scale @ 40dB gain): 104 dB Signal-to-noise ratio (full scale @ 60dB gain): 87 dB THD (20Hz – 20kHz): 0.002% Intermodulation distortion: 0.002% Crosstalk @ 1kHz: -100 dB Output impedance: 75Ω Overload margin @ 40dB gain: 22 dB (20Hz – 20kHz) Overload margin @ 66dB gain: 18 dB (20Hz – 20kHz) Power consumption @ idle: 2 W AC power requirements: 100–240V, 50Hz / 60Hz Power supply: 24V external supply (24V DC input) Chassis / connectors: All-aluminum chassis with gold-plated RCA connectors PCB: Four-layer PCB with pure-copper tracings (low impedance characteristics) Noise reduction: Inductive DC Filtering for a significantly lower noise floor Operational design: Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance Dimensions (W x H x D): 5.0 x 1.65 x 6.5 in / 12.7 x 4.2 x 16.5 cm Shipping weight: 3.3 lb / 1.5 kg Finish: Black In the box: External AC power supply; AC mains; stick for under-panel dipswitches settings; warranty/registration info (USA & Canada only) MOON 110LP v2 Q&A: Is the MOON 110LP v2 compatible with both MM and MC cartridges? Yes. It includes selectable gain settings that support both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges, so it can grow with your system. How do I match the 110LP v2 to my cartridge? You can adjust four key parameters—gain, EQ curve, resistance (impedance), and capacitance—so the phono stage can be optimized for your cartridge’s requirements. What impedance loading options are available? The 110LP v2 offers adjustable input impedance loading of 10Ω, 100Ω, 475Ω, and 47kΩ for broad cartridge compatibility. What capacitance settings are available for fine-tuning? Selectable input capacitance options include 0pF, 100pF, 330pF, and 430pF to help dial in tonal balance and tracking performance. Does it support standard RIAA equalization? Yes. It supports RIAA and also provides an IEC option, giving you flexibility depending on preference and system synergy. How quiet is it compared to typical entry-level phono stages? It’s engineered for a very low noise floor with inductive DC filtering and a high-quality circuit layout, helping your vinyl playback sound cleaner and more detailed. Should I leave the 110LP v2 powered on all the time? It’s designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance, so leaving it on is consistent with its intended use. What comes in the box? An external AC power supply, AC mains, a stick for under-panel dip-switch settings, and warranty/registration information (USA and Canada only) are included.
