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 easily and inexpensively
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.

RJ-45 cables and connectors are used throughout the world for
both telecommun-ications and computers, and are widely
available at low cost. The connectors are crimped on to the ends
of the cable such that pin 1 at one end is connected to pin 1 at
the other end. Such a “straight-through” connection is (counter-

If a turntable is to be used with the Nº38, it must be used in
conjunction with a phono preamp such as the Mark Levinson Nº25
which will handle RIAA equalization and which will deliver a line-
level signal to the input of the Nº38.

EXTERNAL IR INPUT
The Nº38 incorporates an infrared repeater input to facilitate a
wide range of installation options. If desired, the Nº38 may be
placed inside a cabinet or outside the normal line-of-sight in the
listening area, with the controlling IR signal being relayed to the
Nº38 by any of a number of commercially-available IR repeaters.
