SLAVE AND MASTER COMMUNICATOR PORTS
These communications ports allow the Nº38 to “link” to certain
compatible Mark Levinson components. (See “Linked Functions.”)

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 destination
of all source signals, the Nº38 Preamplifier 

must be the final “Slave”

in the chain. (

In technical terms, it terminates the communications

buss.) In turn, the Nº38 can serve as a master to an associated
compatible Mark Levinson power amplifier—hence its “Master”
communications port.

Thus, if the only other Mark Levinson Link-compatible component
you have is a digital audio processor, connect its master port to
the Nº38’s slave port using a “straight-through” RJ-45 cable. If there
are additional Mark Levinson Link-compatible components in the
system, place the Nº38 at the end of the chain by connecting the
last slave out port to the Nº38’s slave port. See the diagram below
for clarification.
