Nº32 Reference Preamplifier Controls and Modes
To activate and use SSP mode:
1. Place the Nº32 into standby, then take it out of standby.
The SSP ____LINE message displays, indicating that the SSP
mode has been activated, and the surround sound processor is
in control.
Linking
Linking is available for all Mark Levinson components with Link
communication ports, including slave in, slave out, and amplifier
communication ports. These communication ports “link” compati-
ble Mark Levinson components in a slave chain, allowing them to
share Link controls such as display intensity, standby, playback,
input selection, and record mode.
The Nº32 offers three Link communication ports labeled master,
slave in, and amplifier.
• The master port is provided for possible future expansion and
SHOULD NOT be used when making Link connections.
• The slave in port can be connected to a compatible Mark
Levinson digital audio processor or digital transport.
• The amplifier port can be connected to a compatible Mark
Levinson power amplifier.
The Nº32 is compatible with:
• All power amplifiers that offer Link communication ports.
• Nº30, Nº30.5, and Nº30.6 Reference Digital Audio Processors
• Nº31 and Nº31.5 Reference CD Transports
• Nº36, Nº36S, Nº360, and Nº360S Digital Audio Processors
• Nº39 and Nº390S CD Processors (can be used as either digital
audio processors or digital transports in a slave chain)
• Nº37 CD Transport
Refer to the appropriate owner’s manual for Link compatibility
information about other Mark Levinson components.
Note
Linking is not available for Mark Levinson digital transports unless a
Mark Levinson digital audio processor is included in the slave chain.
Certain digital transport and digital audio processor combinations are
not Link compatible. Refer to the appropriate owner’s manual for
additional information.
