Creating a Slave Chain

Link communication cables can be constructed using an

8-conductor modular telephone cable with the appropriate plug crimped on each end.

•Use an 8-pin RJ-45 plug when connecting to a preamplifier. RJ-45 plugs provide an 8-pin connection.

•Use a 6-pin RJ-11 plug when connecting to a power amplifier. RJ-11 plugs provide a 6-pin connection in which connector pins 7 and 8 are not used.

Note

BEFORE making Link connections, refer to the appropriate

documentation for Link or communication port specifications for other Mark Levinson components.

When linking components with constructed Link communication cables, twist the cable 180˚ as shown in the illustration below for a straight-through (pin 1-to-pin 1) connection.

Note

Contact an authorized Mark Levinson dealer for additional assistance with making Link connections.
