MOON 461 - Power amplifier with high current capacity and flexible setup

The MOON 461 is a high-end power amplifier developed for demanding speakers and serious music systems. With up to 2 x 150 watts at 8 ohms, high current capacity, and an advanced dual-mono design, it delivers control, dynamics, and precision – even when the music places great demands on the amplifier.

As the most powerful model in the MOON Compass Collection, the MOON 461 combines high power with low distortion and a natural sound reproduction that preserves detail, timing, and musicality across the entire frequency range.

Highlights

• 2 x 150 watts at 8 ohms
• 2 x 300 watts at 4 ohms
• 450 watts in bridged mono
• MDCA distortion-cancelling technology
• Dual-mono design
• MOON Hybrid Power power supply
• Stereo, mono, and bi-amp operation
• Damping factor of 425

MDCA technology reduces distortion

The MOON 461 uses the manufacturer's own MDCA (MOON Distortion-Cancelling Amplifier) technology. The system is designed to reduce distortion and ensure a more linear signal path throughout the amplifier.

The result is a more natural and effortless sound reproduction, where details and dynamic nuances have room to unfold without affecting the balance of the soundstage.

Dual-mono design and MOON Hybrid Power

Each channel operates with its own MOON Hybrid Power power supply. The dual-mono design reduces interaction between the right and left channels and helps maintain stability under load.

This provides better channel separation, more precise instrument placement, and a more focused stereo image.

Power amplifier for stereo, mono, and bi-amp

The MOON 461 is designed for flexible hi-fi systems and supports several configurations:

• Traditional stereo setup
• Bridged mono operation
• Bi-amp configurations

This makes the amplifier suitable both as a central power amplifier in a stereo system and as part of larger high-end installations where extra power or dedicated amplification for specific speaker drivers is desired.

Designed for modern high-end hi-fi

The cabinet and chassis follow the design line of the MOON Compass Collection with bead-blasted aluminum sides and a simple, elegant look. The construction has been developed with a focus on mechanical stability and resonance control, allowing the electronics to operate under optimal conditions.

Together with the MOON 491, the MOON 461 can form part of a complete high-end audio system focused on musicality, flexibility, and long-lasting performance.
