Integrated amplifiers — Moon by Simaudio Neo 340i X

The Neo 340i X is an integrated amplifier from Moon by Simaudio, a Canadian manufacturer with a considerable reputation for refined digital and analogue engineering, built with an exceptional damping factor. The Neo 340i X brings Moon's considered engineering to a complete integrated chassis.

Key specs that matter

One balanced XLR input and four single-ended RCA inputs are provided, with input impedance at 22k ohms on both connections. Input sensitivity is 400mV. Output power is 100W into 8 ohms, doubling cleanly to 200W into 4 ohms. Frequency response spans an extraordinary 2Hz to 90,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is 0.03%, with damping factor at 200 - a strong figure indicating good control over connected loudspeaker driver movement. At 430 x 89 x 375mm and 13kg, the Neo 340i X maintains a manageable integrated amplifier footprint.

Sound and use context

Expect the refined, musically engaging character Moon's broader Canadian engineering philosophy is known for, with the solid damping factor of 200 combined with the clean power doubling into 4 ohms suggesting genuine authority for a wide range of loudspeaker impedances.

Pairing

The clean power doubling into 4 ohms combined with the solid damping factor suits a wide range of loudspeaker sensitivities and impedances.

Alternatives

Moon by Simaudio's broader amplifier catalogue offers alternatives for buyers wanting a different output level within the same considered Canadian engineering philosophy.
