Product Description
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Nº531H, Nº532H, Nº533H or Nº535H
Power Amplifier. True to Mark Levinson
®
tradition, the audio
excellence and performance levels of the Nº500H series amplifiers
are unrivaled in today’s marketplace.
The Nº500H series amplifiers redefine the concept of outstanding
performance in their categories. Drawing from the Mark Levinson
heritage, while utilizing a new, straightforward, balanced, current-
feedback design, creates a new series of amplifiers that must be
listened to in order to be fully appreciated. The final result is
impressive, even for the Mark Levinson high standard of excellence.
Independent power supply components are used for each channel
to maximize the isolation between channels, thus improving
imaging. Isolated chassis and signal grounds minimize noise to
optimize detail, even at low listening levels.
The amplifier channel itself is simple but elegant. Like the Nº532,
the audio path is fully differential, thereby handling balanced
input signals in their native format, ensuring no noise is added
by unnecessary signal conversions. Care was taken in component
selection, insuring high-quality passive components are used in
critical locations, maximizing the potential sonic benefits.
The Nº500H Series amplifiers may be operated through a network-
capable Ethernet port for use with ML Net and external protocol
controllers, and standard DC trigger controls.
Embracing new technology with the same level of enduring
excellence, the Nº500H Series amplifiers are each the finest in their
category. Truly impressive output capabilities, combined with the
high-power efficiency of all Mark Levinson amplifiers, make the
Nº500H Series remarkably capable amplifiers, sure to impress even
the most demanding of audio enthusiasts.
