Contact an authorized Mark Levinson dealer or Customer Service at

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.
