3 RS-232 port
This port is used both for downloading new operating software
into your Nº32 Reference Preamplifier (should new features ever
be added, for example), and also for external control of the Nº32
by systems such as AMX™ and Crestron™. For more information,
please contact your dealer and ask about either AMX or Crestron
home automation systems.

4 Slave and Master Communicator Ports
These communications ports allow the Nº32 to “link” to certain
compatible Mark Levinson components. (See “Linked Functions.” )
After making or changing Link connections, cycle power on all your
Linked components to ensure that they “see” the change.
The Mark Levinson Linking system uses a Digital Audio Processor
as the Master of (and central clearinghouse for) inter-component
communications. Other components such as digital transports are
connected to the Master as “Slaves,” and can be “daisy-chained”
using their slave in and slave out jacks. As the ultimate destina-
tion of all source signals, the Nº32 Preamplifier must be the final
“Slave” in the chain. (In technical terms, it terminates the commu-
nications bus.) In turn, the Nº32 can also control one or more as-
sociated compatible Mark Levinson power amplifiers—hence its
“amplifier” communications port.
Thus, if the only other Mark Levinson Link-compatible compo-
nent you have is a digital audio processor, connect its master port
to the Nº32’s slave port using a “straight-through” RJ-45 cable. If
there are additional Mark Levinson Link-compatible components
in the system, place the Nº32 at the end of the chain by connect-
ing the last slave out port to the Nº32’s slave port. See the dia-
gram (left) for clarification.
In short (you might refer to the diagram at left):
master (processor) → slave in (transport)
slave out (transport) → slave in (next transport, as needed)
slave out (last transport) → slave (preamplifier)
amplifier (preamplifier) → slave in (power amplifier)
slave out (power amplifier) → slave in (power amp, as needed)
The RJ-45 cable needed for the Link connection between source
components and the preamplifier may be purchased from your
Mark Levinson dealer. It may also be made to length using two RJ-
45 connectors and the appropriate length (up to 100 feet/30
meters) of RJ-45 (flat, eight conductor) cable.
