Description
The Mark Levinson No.432 is a power amplifier designed to drive speakers within an audio or audio/video system. Its function goes beyond simply amplifying a weak signal into a powerful one: it acts as a link responsible for transmitting the signal accurately through to the speakers.
At Mark Levinson, amplification is conceived as a progressive process rather than a simple increase in power. The input signal is boosted in stages, with careful attention paid to preserving both the power and the subtlety of the sound message. This approach to signal processing has been the hallmark of the brand for thirty years, and the No.432 follows directly in this tradition, alongside the No.431.
This type of amplifier is aimed at high-fidelity enthusiasts seeking a refined sound reproduction, in a system where amplification quality plays a decisive role in the final result. It suits those wishing to acquire a unit renowned for its ability to faithfully reproduce the signal, without having to turn to the most expensive amplifiers on the market to achieve a comparable level of quality.
What to check before buying used
On this power amplifier, the level potentiometer is worth testing through its full rotation to rule out any crackling or channel dropout, and the power supply capacitors are best checked if the unit has seen little use in recent years. Also check that the protection relays operate correctly on start-up and that there is no hum once the unit is loaded with speakers. Finally, an inspection of the input connectors and speaker terminals will reveal any oxidation.
