Nº326S Preamplifier Basic Operation
Link Controls Linking Mark Levinson components allows them to share controls
such as display intensity, standby, playback, input selection, and
record.
Note the following:
• Linked components must be powered on ONE AT A TIME in
the specific order listed in step 4 (page 2-12) to ensure proper
functioning of Link controls.
• Link controls must be enabled on the linked digital transport(s)
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 Nº326S.
• The linked Nº326S and power amplifier(s) must be in the same
standby-state to allow the linked power amplifier(s) to enter
standby after a power failure.
The slave chains shown here are made
according to the requirements listed in the
table on page 2-11.
The slave chain at the far left links one
digital audio processor (Nº390S); one
preamplifier (Nº326S); and two power
amplifiers (Nº432 and Nº431).
The slave chain shown to the immediate
left links one digital audio processor
(Nº360S); two digital transports (Nº390S
and Nº37); one preamplifier (Nº326S); and
one power amplifier (Nº432).
