Nº433 Power Amplifier

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Link Controls

 

Linking Mark Levinson components allows them to share certain

 

 

 

 

 

 

controls. The table below provides a general description of controls

 

 

 

 

the Nº433 shares with other linked components. Some controls

 

 

 

 

may not be available for certain component combinations. Other

 

 

 

 

Mark Levinson components may share additional controls. Refer to

 

 

 

 

the appropriate documentation for additional information.

 

 

 

 

Note the following:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Linked components must be powered on ONE AT A TIME in the

 

 

 

 

specific order listed in step 3 (previous page) to ensure proper

 

 

 

 

functioning of Link controls.

 

 

 

 

• Link controls must be enabled on the linked digital transport

 

 

 

 

linking menu, which allows activation and deactivation of

 

 

 

 

individual Link controls. Refer to the appropriate digital

 

 

 

 

transport owner’s manual for additional information.

 

 

 

 

• Some Mark Levinson digital transports accommodate a

 

 

 

 

maximum of four front-panel display characters. In these cases,

 

 

 

 

certain input names appear abbreviated on the front-panel

 

 

 

 

display. For example, an input named Nº326S will appear as

 

 

 

 

Nº32 on the digital transport front-panel display even though

 

 

 

 

the input is associated with the Nº 326S.

 

 

 

 

• The linked preamplifier and power amplifier(s) must be in the

 

 

 

 

same standby state to allow the linked power amplifier(s) to

25

 

 

 

enter standby after a power failure.

appear on the preamplifier’s front panel display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The power amplifier number refers to its position

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in the slave chain. For example, AMP1 refers to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the first power amplifier in the slave chain. Power

on page 12 for additional information about fault

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

conditions.
