Digital Servo Control
Digital Input/Output Versatility
Industrial Design
The laser mechanism used in the Nº390S uses all digital servo controls of its operations. Critical functions such as focus and tracking are handled completely in the digital domain with mathematical precision. A digital servo remains stable over time, never needing readjustment under normal conditions.
The Nº390S CD player incorporates two digital inputs, allowing two external digital sources such as a laser disc player and digital cable radio to benefit from the excellent digital processor incorporated within. The two most common digital interfaces are supported for the widest compatibility: EIAJ (sometimes called “TosLink™”) and S/PDIF coaxial, via an RCA connector.
Two high quality digital output configurations are also supported in the Nº390S. A new complementary driver for the balanced AES/EBU electrical output delivers outstanding performance to the high quality XLR connector. A
All digital interfaces have been carefully optimized to deliver the
finest performance each interface standard allows. As a direct13 result, the Nº390S performs optimally with any digital processor, without having to resort to techniques which would limit its compatibility with other products.
The Nº390S shares the handsome industrial design of other Mark Levinson components such as the Nº380 preamplifier. The combination of the
A large, easily read display provides information as to the operational status of the Nº390S from across the room, making the supplied remote control more genuinely useful than on products lacking such a display.
In keeping with its sophisticated design, the Nº390S also incorporates a Mark
