1. What are the published power ratings for the H-series amplifiers?

Model 8

No 531H 300W

No 532H 300W

No 533H 300W

No 535H 200W

2. Why are the 4 and 2 power numbers not published (in the manual or on the

website) like past Mark Levinson products?

Publishing these numbers would require the products to undergo major design and feature changes due

to ever changing regulatory requirements. These changes would not be in line with our customers’

expectations and the typical usage of the H-series amplifiers.

3. What kind of continuous power can I expect when driving a 4 load?

Model 4

No 531H 450W

No 532H 450W

No 533H 450W

No 535H 300W

4. Why does the output power not double when the load is halved (sometimes called

“doubling down”) like on other Mark Levinson amplifiers?

The H-series amplifiers were designed to supply bursts of high power (into all loads) that far exceed

the rated power of the amplifier. The rated power of an amplifier is considered a continuous output

power rating. A continuous output power rating is what a customer can expect the amplifier to output

for an extended period of time (anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes depending on the

manufacturer). This number is good for comparing amplifiers to some extent, but is not indicative of

audio playback which is very dynamic with a low average level. The H-series amplifiers were

optimized to get the most of audio playback and not designed to meet a traditional “double down”

specification.

5. Are the H-series amplifiers capable of driving 2 loads?

Yes, the H-series amplifiers are capable of driving 2 loads. The H-series amplifiers have over-current

protection to shield against potentially damaging loads or incorrect wiring.
