Creating a Slave Chain Making Link connections creates a slave chain that facilitates
communication among linked components, allowing them to
share certain controls.
All slave chains:
• Must include compatible Mark Levinson components. The
Nº33H is compatible with the components listed on the
previous page. Refer to the appropriate documentation for
Link compatibility information about other Mark Levinson
components.

Constructing Link Link communication cables can be constructed using an
Communication Cables 8-conductor modular telephone cable with the appropriate plug
crimped on each end.
• Use an 8-pin RJ-45 plug when connecting to a preamplifier.
RJ-45 plugs provide an 8-pin connection.
• Use a 6-pin RJ-11 plug when connecting to a power amplifier.
RJ-11 plugs provide a 6-pin connection in which connector
pins 7 and 8 are not used.
Note
BEFORE making Link connections, refer to the appropriate
documentation for Link or communication port
specifications for other Mark Levinson components.
When linking components with constructed Link communication
cables, twist the cable 180˚ as shown in the illustration below for
a straight-through (pin 1-to-pin 1) connection.
Note
Contact an authorized Mark Levinson dealer for additional
assistance with making Link connections.
