Operating Voltage
The Nº36 Digital Audio Processor is set at the factory (internally) for 100V, 120V,
200V, 230V, 220V, or 240V AC mains operation @ 50 or 60Hz. (
230V/50Hz only in
European Union countries, in compliance with CE regulations.
) This voltage set-
ting cannot be changed by the user. Make sure that the label on the bottom panel
of the Nº36 (adjacent to the AC cord) indicates the correct AC operating voltage
for your location.
If the voltage indicated on your Nº36 is incorrect, or if you wish to change the
AC operating voltage of your Nº36 as the result of moving to a different country
than the one in which you purchased your digital audio processor, see your Mark
Levinson dealer.
The Nº36 can be powered by a normal 15-ampere AC mains line. If other devices
are also powered from the same AC line, their additional power consumption
should be taken into account.
For optimal sonic performance and longevity, the Nº36 is designed to remain
powered at all times (the
standby
switch merely mutes the processor’s outputs
and turns off the display). There is an initial break-in period of approximately
300 hours before the Nº36 achieves optimum performance.
