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 placement of your new pur-
chase. Please accept them as a token of our appreciation 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 equip-
ment, thus keeping interconnect cabling short. We strongly recommend 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.
