Using Aux Mode - Mark Levinson N052 Owner's Manual

using the aux mODe
The Auxiliary outputs on your N
sets of stereo output connectors, one balanced (XLR) and one
unbalanced (RCA), that are configurable independently from
the Main outputs. You can use them to send the signal of your
choice to a secondary device (such as a powered subwoofer,
second zone or audio recorder).
Pressing the Aux button enters the Aux mode, in which you can
choose from the following Aux output settings:
off: No signal is routed to the Aux outputs.
input 1 – input 7: The selected input is routed to the Aux output
on the connectors you specified in the Setup > Input Setup >
Aux menu.
phono: The Phono input is routed to the Aux output on the
connectors you specified in the Setup > Input Setup > Aux
menu.
Main var (variable gain): The signal at the Main outputs is also
routed to the Aux outputs, at a level that mirrors the Main output
volume setting. This mode is useful in configurations where
Main and Aux signals and levels must match, such as when you
are using the Aux output to drive a powered subwoofer.

Main Fix (fixed gain): The signal at the Main outputs is also
routed to the Aux outputs at a fixed gain setting. This mode is
useful when the Aux output is routed to a recording device, or in
any other instance when variable gain is not desired.
Once you've selected the desired Aux output setting, press
Enter to confirm.
Note: If you choose Input 1 – Input 7, Phono, or Main Fix,
the signal level at the Aux output depends on the chosen
input's setting in the Setup > Input Setup > Aux menu, as
follows:
