Your Mark Levinson
®
Nº33 power amplifiers incorporate heavy duty casters
to facilitate their movement. If your flooring is even slightly fragile, be ad-
vised that significant pressure is generated by the Nº33’s approximately 350
pounds (160 kg) being supported by four round casters. Before you remove
the Nº33 from its shipping crate’s base, you may want to take measures to
protect delicate flooring from possible damage.
With two people at the front of the amplifier to support its weight, carefully
slide the amplifier forward. (A third person may be needed to hold the
crate bottom in place as the amplifier is slid forward.) As the front casters
clear the front edge of the crate, the two people in front must begin to sup-
port the weight of the front half of the amplifier. There is a “handle” built
into the sculpted faceplate for this purpose, just above the Mark Levinson
logo. Alternatively, you may also grip the front heatsinks. While supporting
the front of the amplifier, continue sliding the amplifier forward until the
center section of the amplifier has cleared the edge of the crate’s base. The
front of the amplifier may then be lowered gently to the floor.
With the amplifier supported by the floor in the front and the crate in the
rear, both people should move to the rear of the amplifier. Gripping the rear
heatsinks, lift the rear end of the amplifier and slide the base of the crate
away. (A third person is helpful in this, if available.) Gently lower the rear of
the amplifier to the floor, allowing it to come to rest on its casters.
Congratulations. The hard part is over.
After unpacking your Nº33 power amplifiers, keep all packing materials for
future transport. Shipment of the amplifier without the original packing mate-
rial will almost certainly result in damage to the amplifier, and is not recom-
mended.
Locate and remove all accessory items from the accessory cartons. Accessories for
each amplifier include:
4 machined aluminum spiked “feet”
Carefully inspect your amplifier for possible damage. If you discover any, see your
Mark Levinson dealer immediately.
Important: When it comes to high current AC wiring such as the Nº33 will
typically use, building regulations and electrical codes vary
from region to region (sometimes even from one municipality
to the next). For this reason, it is impossible for us to anticipate
the requirements of your area with regard to high current AC
hookups. Please review this manual’s section on Operating
Voltage and contact a local electrical contractor for advice
on connecting your Nº33 to the AC mains power in your area.
