Welcome to Ayre Please send in your warranty registration card so we can stay in contact with you. Your Ayre K-5x offers a significant advance in the musical performance of high-fidelity equipment. The warmth and immediacy of a live performance are apparent from the first listening.
Connections and Installation The Ayre K-5x preamplifier is easy to hook up and use. The following guidelines will ensure that the installation goes smoothly. Location The infrared beam of the remote transmitter will also travel through glass. A good location for your preamplifier is in an open-backed cabinet or on a shelf.
The FET switches used in the input selector circuitry offer transparent, noise-free switching, with no moving parts. Please be aware that they can be overloaded if the output voltage from the source component is too high. Do not use a source component that has an output level greater tha n4VR M S unbalanced, or 8 V RMS balanced.
This will prevent the undesired possibility of creating a feedback loop when making a recording. Main Outputs The balanced outputs use XLR connectors, while the unbalanced outputs use RCA connectors. The Ayre K-5x offers one pair of balanced outputs and one pair of unbalanced outputs.
Controls and Operation At the heart of the Ayre K-5x’s control system is a sophisticated microprocessor. This microprocessor is normally “asleep” and all digital systems are turned off, including the master clock.
low setting. After that, the current volume setting is retained in memory, and will remain constant when changing inputs. Input Source Selection The source component may also be selected with the remote control. The input selector buttons are located below the display.
Mute Muting and un-muting may also be performed with the remote control. The mute button provides an easy way to temporarily turn the volume of the K-5x to “zero”. The current volume control setting is retained in memory and appears on the display.
Processor Pass-Through When using the Ayre K-5x in a surround-sound system for home theater, it is desirable to use the “Processor Pass-Through” mode.
The chosen input is now programmed for “Processor Pass-Through” operation, disabling the now redundant volume control of the K-5x. When that input is selected, the preamplifier section of the K-5x is set to unity gain (0 dB), and the volume is controlled directly from the surround-sound processor.
Numbers and Specifications Maximum Input Level 4 V RMS – unbalanced inputs 8 V RMS – balanced inputs Input Impedance 20 k Ω – unbalanced inputs 40 k Ω – balanced inputs (20 k Ω per phase.
