2 Polarity Indicator

The polarity (sometimes inaccurately called “absolute phase”) of

the output of the Nº32 may be inverted via the Nº32 remote con-

trol, in which case the red LED under the word polarity (within

the display window) will light as confirmation. A second press of

the polarity button on the remote control will restore the polarity

of the output to its original, non-inverted state.

3 Alphanumeric Display

This twelve-character display provides a wide range of informa-

tion concerning the operation of the Nº32. The information dis-

played depends on what the Nº32 is doing. The information dis-

played is summarized below:

normal operation selected (audible) input name and volume setting

balance direction and magnitude of balance offset

record out “RECD” and Source to be recorded

setup setup menus and settings

In addition, this display will indicate any known fault conditions.

For example, it will also inform you if a DC cable between Con-

troller and Preamplifier is not properly connected. When used

with Linked Mark Levinson power amplifiers, this display is used

to indicate the presence of a fault condition (if any) in the ampli-

fier. (Please refer to the owner’s manual of your amplifier for more

information.) For more detailed information on the preamplifier’s

use of this display, please refer to the following sections on the use

of the balance and record out buttons, as well as the section on

“Customizing Your Nº32.”

4 Mono indicator

The mono button of the remote control toggles between stereo

and mono operation of the Nº32. The LED under the word

mono on the faceplate, within the display window, provides visual

confirmation of being in the mono mode.

There are multiple mono modes available in the Nº32:

• L+R (the factory default setting)

• L only

• R only

• L-R

(For more detailed information on these mono modes, please see
