Important:
Your Mark Levinson® Nº33 power amplifiers incorporate heavy duty casters to facilitate their movement. If your flooring is even slightly fragile, be ad- vised that significant pressure is generated by the Nº33’s approximately 350 pounds (160 kg) being supported by four round casters. Before you remove the Nº33 from its shipping crate’s base, you may want to take measures to protect delicate flooring from possible damage.
With two people at the front of the amplifier to support its weight, carefully slide the amplifier forward. (A third person may be needed to hold the crate bottom in place as the amplifier is slid forward.) As the front casters clear the front edge of the crate, the two people in front must begin to sup- port the weight of the front half of the amplifier. There is a “handle” built into the sculpted faceplate for this purpose, just above the Mark Levinson logo. Alternatively, you may also grip the front heatsinks. While supporting the front of the amplifier, continue sliding the amplifier forward until the center section of the amplifier has cleared the edge of the crate’s base. The front of the amplifier may then be lowered gently to the floor.
With the amplifier supported by the floor in the front and the crate in the rear, both people should move to the rear of the amplifier. Gripping the rear heatsinks, lift the rear end of the amplifier and slide the base of the crate away. (A third person is helpful in this, if available.) Gently lower the rear of the amplifier to the floor, allowing it to come to rest on its casters.
Congratulations. The hard part is over.
After unpacking your Nº33 power amplifiers, keep all packing materials for future transport. Shipment of the amplifier without the original packing mate- rial will almost certainly result in damage to the amplifier, and is not recom- mended.
Locate and remove all accessory items from the accessory cartons. Accessories for each amplifier include:
4 machined aluminum spiked “feet”
Carefully inspect your amplifier for possible damage. If you discover any, see your Mark Levinson dealer immediately.
When it comes to high current AC wiring such as the Nº33 will typically use, building regulations and electrical codes vary from region to region (sometimes even from one municipality to the next). For this reason, it is impossible for us to anticipate the requirements of your area with regard to high current AC hookups. Please review this manual’s section on Operating Voltage and contact a local electrical contractor for advice on connecting your Nº33 to the AC mains power in your area.
