Unpacking and Placement
Unpacking the Nº30.6
Unpack your Nº30.6 Reference Digital Processor and PLS-330 Power
Supply and remove all accessories from the cartons. Keep all packing
materials for future transport.
Included with your new Mark Levinson processor is a pair of knit,
white gloves designed to assist you in the initial unpacking and place-
ment of your new purchase. Please accept them as a token of our ap-
preciation for having purchased one of our products.
Placement of the Nº30.6
The Nº30.6 should be placed as close as possible to your digital source
equipment, thus keeping interconnect cabling short. We strongly rec-
ommend shelf mounting to allow for proper ventilation. The Nº30.6 is
designed for continuous operation, which is why it features a
standby
mode rather than a full “off ” mode—it is designed to be connected to
the AC mains at all times for the best performance.
Three DC cables are provided to connect the PLS-330 to the Nº30.6.
Their lengths allow you to place the PLS-330 so that it won’t induce
hum in the Nº30.6 and other sensitive components. (The best location
for the PLS-330 is often near the floor, since it does not require any day
to day user interaction). Other associated equipment should also be
placed so that it doesn’t induce hum in the Nº30.6 and other sensitive
components.
Be sure to allow 3 to 4 inches of clearance above both the Nº30.6 and
the PLS-330, to allow heat dissipation through air circulation.
Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations
and custom cabinetry (see “Dimensions”).
