No320S preamplifier

RS-232 control guide

Overview

Overview The Mark Levinson No320S preamplifier is equipped with an RS-232

control port. A complete set of command inputs and status outputs allow control of

the No320S by an external control system (such as AMX or Crestron). This guide

contains connection details and the RS-232 command list.

Connection

RS-232 Port

Location RS-232 control is through an RJ-11 connector located on the back of the No320S next

to the IR output. This connector has 6 pins of which only three are used for

communication.

RS-232 Port Pin

Configuration. The No320S will receive control data on pin 2 Data Receive and transmit status data

on pin 3 Data Transmit. The connection Cable between the No320S and the control

device will need to be configured so that the No320S’s receive is connected to the

control devices transmit. Please refer to the product owner’s manual for the control

device you are using for RS-232 port type and configuration.

RS-232 Control

Cable Madrigal Audio Labs offers several parts to help communicate via RS-232 to the

No320S. The following parts can be order from Madrigal Audio Labs Technical

Support.

Part # Description

MRC878 DSUB9 to RJ-11 Adaptor and 2 meter RJ-11 to RJ-11 Cable

MRC808 DUB9 to RJ-11 Adaptor

MLC732 2 meter RJ-11 to RJ-11 Cable

For general purpose and short cable runs to the No320S, Part # MRC878 contains

everything needed.

For cable lengths of more then 2 meters - Part # MRC808 and the length of cable

needed should be ordered.

RS-232 control units with port types other then DSUB9 will need to have the cable

constructed. To construct a cable please follow the example below.

Control Cable

Example As an example on making the cable we will use the most common connector used,

which is a DSUB9. The No320S only needs 3 pins to control the unit via RS-232. As

mentioned earlier the No320S’s pin 2 Data Receive must connect to the control

devices Transmit. Please read the notes below before constructing the RS-232

cable.

Command list

Settings: 38.4K baud, 1 stop bit, no parity

Format: !<command><cr> or !Vxx.x<cr>

The '!' is used as a framing character and can be sent any time to reset the

packet reception code. Note that all commands are 5 bytes ( '!' + 3char command

+ <cr> ) with the exception of the direct volume command which is 7 bytes ( '!' +

'V' + 4 bytes data + <cr> ) <cr> = 0x0d, carrage return.

Example: !GI1<cr> ( selects input 1 on No320S)

Keys:

COMMAND DESCRIPTION

KVD Volume "key" down

KVU Volume "Key" up

KBA Balance Key

KSU Setup Key

KEN Enter Key

KST Standby Key

KMU Mute Key

KMO Mono Key

KIP Input select previous "key"

KIN Input select next "key"

KPO polarity key

KDI Display Intensity key

Note on ramping volume:

Repeated “EV_VOL_DOWN” or “EV_VOL_UP” key commands must be

sent at less than 150mS intervals to cause a smooth, accelerated ramping of

volume like the effect of holding the volume up or down key on the remote

control.
