The RJ-45 cable needed for the Link connection between the
Nº30.6 and other Link components may be purchased from your
Mark Levinson dealer. It may also be made to length using two RJ-
45 connectors and the appropriate length (up to 100 feet/30
meters) of RJ-45 (flat, eight conductor) cable.
RJ-45 cables and connectors are used throughout the world for
both telecommunications and computers, and are widely avail-
able. The connectors are crimped on to the ends of the cable such
that pin 1 at one end is connected to pin 1 at the other end. Such a
“straight-through” connection is (counter-intuitively) made by
introducing a 180
°
twist in the cable between the two ends, as
shown below.

Connecting the communication ports other than as
described in this manual will damage the Nº38 and the
associated Mark Levinson components, and will void
those products’ warranties.

digital dc in
This input accepts DC power from the PLS-330 (via the supplied
cable equipped with two-pin connectors).
Connect
digital dc in
on the rear panel of the Nº30.6 to the
digi-
tal dc out
on the rear panel of the PLS-330.

aes/ebu electrical digital inputs (1 – 3)
These inputs accept the
digital audio signal
(
DAS
), via cables
equipped with XLR-type connectors, from digital sources such as
a compact disc transport, laser disc transport, digital audio tape
transport, digital broadcast receiver.
These inputs conform to the
AES
/
EBU
digital interconnection stan-
dard, which calls for a 110
Ω
transmission of the DAS. Use a digital
interconnecting cable specifically designed for the 110
Ω
AES
/
EBU
standard, such as Madrigal MDC-1 cable, when using these in-
puts. The pin assignments for the
AES
/
EBU
digital interconnection
standard are shown below.
