4 Connect a set of analog outputs to your preamplifier

The Nº360 has both balanced (XLR) analog outputs and single-

ended (RCA) outputs. They are found on the outside edges of the

rear panel. As viewed from the front, the left side contains the Left

channel and the right side contains the Right channel. Use high

quality analog cable such as Madrigal CZ Gel.

button

6 Turn on the other components; slowly raise the volume

Congratulations! You should now be able to enjoy your favorite

music while reading the rest of this manual.

Note: It is always a good idea to turn on your power

amplifier(s)

last, in case one of your other components

exhibits a turn-on transient of some sort. Similarly,

when powering the system

down (rather than simply

using standby), turn off the power amplifier(s) first.

Warm up &

break-in period

Although your Mark Levinson Nº360 digital processor delivers out-

standing performance straight out of the box, you should expect to

hear it continue to improve as it reaches its normal operating tempera-

tures and its various components stabilize. It has been our experience

that the greatest changes occur within the first 25-50 hours, but that

the Nº360 will continue to improve in sound quality for about 300

hours, after which time it remains quite constant.

The only exception to this rule is if power is removed from the unit, al-

lowing it to cool down. In this case you should expect a relatively brief

warm-up period before the Nº360’s sound quality is at its best.
