Mark Levinson N28 Operating Manual page 8

Refer to the operating manual of your balanced-output line-level
source to verify that the pin assignments of its output connector
correspond to the Nº28. If not, wire the cable so that the
appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin.
Note: If you won't be using the Nº28's balanced inputs and
need more single-ended inputs, it's possible to fabricate a
cable to connect line-level sources with single-ended output
to these balanced inputs:
Male RCA
(connect to
source)
6 TAPE 1, TAPE 2 (OUTPUTS)
Connect these outputs to the right-channel and left-channel tape
inputs of your tape machine.
These outputs are unaffected by the OUTPUT LEVEL control on the
front panel of the Nº28.
7 MAIN
Connect these outputs to the right-channel and left-channel
inputs of your power amplifier or electronic crossover.
These outputs are affected by the OUTPUT LEVEL control on the
front panel of the Nº28.
8 BALANCED MAIN
If your power amplifier is equipped with balanced input
connectors, it's best to connect it to the Nº28 via these connectors,
particularly if long cable lengths are required.
Connect the right-channel and left-channel BALANCED MAIN
outputs of the Nº28 to the appropriate balanced inputs of the
power amplifier.
The pin assignments of these XLR-type male outputs are:
Pin 1: Signal ground
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)
1 2
3 Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
Refer to your power amplifier's operating manual to verify that the
pin assignments of its input connector correspond to the Nº28. If
not, wire the cable so that the appropriate output pin connects to
the equivalent input pin.
