Creating a Slave Chain
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.
Note
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.
