Left and right channel loudspeaker binding posts: The
Nº585 utilizes custom-made, gold-plated, high-current
loudspeaker binding posts. The positive binding posts,
l (positive), are red; the negative binding posts are
black and are labeled – (negative).
The binding posts can accommodate speaker cables
terminated in untinned bare wire, spade lugs and banana
plugs.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the binding posts. The
innovative design of these binding posts provides more
leverage; hence, high-contact, tight pressure connections
are achieved when finger-tightened. DO NOT FORCE the
binding post “wings” over a bent or oversized connector.
Doing so may damage the binding post.
NOTE:
The audio outputs of this power amplifier are
considered Class 2 (CL2) circuits in North America.
This means the wire connected between this amplifier
and the speaker(s) shall be rated at minimum Class
2 (CL2) and shall be installed according to the U.S.
National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 725 or Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC) Section 16.
Line output connectors: These RCA connectors provide a
line-level left-channel and right-channel signal that can be
used to send the selected input to a powered subwoofer, to
a second listening zone or to recording components such
as CD recorders or tape decks.
The Line outputs are configured in the Setup menu as
Fixed
(for use with recording components or a second audio
zone). When configured as
Fixed, the Line outputs are not
affected by any of the N
0
585's front-panel controls except
for the Polarity button.
If your system includes a powered subwoofer you can
configure the Line Outputs in the Setup menu as
Variable.
When so configured, the Line Outputs will follow the
settings of the Volume, Balance and Mute controls.
Balanced analog input connectors: These connectors
accept left-channel and right-channel balanced input
signals from source components with balanced (male XLR)
output connectors.
Balanced connector pin assignments:
• Pin 1: Signal ground
• Pin 2: (non-inverting)
• Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)
• Connector ground lug: Chassis ground

input connectors: An AES/EBU-format XLR connection
(numbered 1), two coaxial (RCA) S/PDIF connections
(numbered 2 and 3), two optical (TOSLINK) S/PDIF
connections (numbered 4 and 5) and a USB-B digital audio
connection (numbered 6).
USB port: This USB Type-A connector allows you to
perform firmware upgrades that may be offered in the
future. Check our Web site (www.marklevinson.com) for
available updates; if one is offered, follow the instructions
on the Web site. The USB port also allows you to import
and export setup configuration information via a USB
memory stick, and provides a means to update the N
