Mark Levinson

Contact an authorized Mark Levinson dealer or Customer Service at www.marklevinson.com for additional assistance making Link connections.

Making Link connections creates a slave chain that facilitates communication among linked components, allowing them to share certain controls.

All slave chains:

•Must include compatible Mark Levinson components. The Nº433 is compatible with the components listed on the previous page. Refer to the appropriate documentation for Link compatibility information for other Mark Levinson components.

•Must include components that are connected in a certain order to prevent communication from prematurely terminating. Power amplifiers such as the Nº433 must be the last component in a slave chain.

The slave chains in this section include preamplifiers and power amplifiers. However, slave chains can also include digital audio processors and digital transports. Refer to the appropriate documentation for information about including these Mark Levinson components in a slave chain.

The table below indicates slave chain requirements for preamplifiers and power amplifiers.

Component	Requirements and Connections
Preamplifier	• No maximum number per slave chain.
(e.g., No320S or No326S)	• Connect eight-pin to six-pin Link cable from the
	or slave out communication port on the
	preamplifier to the	input communi-
	cation port on the first power amplifier.
No32 Preamplifier	• Connect six-pin to six-pin Link cable from the
	amp communication port on the No32 pream-
	plifier to the	input port on the No433
	power amplifier.
