6. slave in & slave out communication ports

Provide “links” to compatible Mark Levinson preamplifiers and power amplifiers, allowing the Nº33H and linked preamplifiers or power amplifiers to share Link controls. Two 6-pin modular RJ-11 jacks labeled slave in and slave out are available.

The slave in communication port can be connected to a compatible Mark Levinson preamplifier that offers Link or communication ports. The slave out communication ports can be connected to a compatible Mark Levinson power

amplifier that offers Link or communication ports.

Note

Refer to “Linking” BEFORE linking the Nº33H to other Mark Levinson components.

7. remote turn-on jacks

Provide DC trigger control. One 1/8-inch (3.5mm) mini-jack is available to receive 5–12V DC signals from a connected compo- nent, and one 1/8-inch mini-jack is available to pass these sig- nals along to a connected power amplifier. The illustration below shows tip polarity requirements.

5 to 12V, positive tip polarity

Connect one of the remote turn-on jacks on the Nº33H to the trigger out connector on a compatible component. Toggling the connected component between on and standby will toggle the Nº33H into and out of standby.

Connect the other remote turn-on jack on the Nº33H to the trigger in connector on a compatible power amplifier. The Nº33H will pass DC signals along to the connected power amplifier, creating a “daisy-chain” of trigger control.

Note

The Nº33H must be powered on with the ~ac mains relay switch to respond to remote trigger commands.
