6. Link communication ports

Provide “links” to compatible Mark Levinson preamplifiers

and power amplifiers, allowing the Nº436/434 to share Link

controls with these components. Two 6-pin modular RJ-11

jacks labeled slave in and slave out are available.

The slave in communication port can be connected to a

compatible Mark Levinson preamplifier or power amplifier,

and the slave out communication port can be connected to a

compatible Mark Levinson power amplifier.

Note Refer to “Linking” BEFORE linking the Nº436/434 to other Mark

Levinson components.

7. RS-232 port

Provides serial control. One connector labeled RS-232 is avail-

able.

8. trigger input & output connectors

Provide DC trigger control. One 1/8-inch mini-jack labeled

trigger in is available to receive 12 or 5V DC signals from a

connected component, and one 1/8-inch mini-jack labeled

trigger out is available to pass these signals along to a

connected power amplifier. The illustration to the left shows

tip polarity requirements.

Connect the trigger input connector on the Nº436/434 to the

trigger output connector on a compatible component.

Toggling the connected component between on and standby

will toggle the Nº436/434 between on and standby.

Connect the trigger output connector on the Nº436/434 to

the trigger input connector on a compatible power amplifier.

The Nº436/434 will pass incoming trigger signals along to the

connected power amplifier, creating a “daisy-chain” of trigger

control.
