8 to 6 Link Cable
Note: If you won't be using the Nº380' s balanced inputs and
need more single-ended inputs, it is possible to
fabricate a cable to connect line-level sources with
single-ended output to these balanced inputs:
4 Record Outputs
Connect these outputs to the right-channel and left-channel tape
inputs of your recorder. Make a note of which set of
puts
name the inputs you use and to associate the correct
with the appropriate recording device. By giving the Nº380
put
this information, it can prevent accidental record loops that might
otherwise create disturbing feedback. (See "programming input
names" and "assigning record outputs" on pages 20-21.)
These outputs are unaffected by the
front panel of the Nº380, or by the source chosen to be moni-
processor
tored.
5 Slave and Master Communicator Ports
These communications ports allow the Nº380 to "link" to certain
transport
compatible Mark Levinson components. (See "Linked Functions.")
The Mark Levinson Linking system uses a Digital Audio Processor
as the Master of (and central clearinghouse for) inter-component
preamp
communications. Other components such as digital transports are
connected to the Master as "Slaves," and can be "daisy-chained"
using their Slave In and Slave Out jacks. As the ultimate destina-
power
tion of all source signals, the Nº380 Preamplifier must be the final
amp(s)
"Slave" in the chain. (In technical terms, it terminates the communi-
