Ayre C-5xe, Owner'S Manual

Page: 31 / 40

Digital Filter
The digital filter of the Ayre C-5xe features two
user-selectable algorithms. A selector switch is
located on the rear panel. One algorithm produces
greater accuracy in the time domain and is labeled
“Listen”. The other algorithm produces greater
accuracy in the frequency domain and is labeled
“Measure”.
Normally the selector switch is set to the “Listen”
position when listening to music. However some
listeners may prefer the additional high-frequency
energy provided by the “Measure” position.
This switch only affects the analog outputs, and not
the digital audio output.
Control Port
The control port on the rear panel of the C-5xe
allows the unit to communicate with a system
controller such as a Crestron or AMX. The control
port uses opto-isolators to ensure that there are no
unwanted ground loops created when using a system
controller.
Pre-terminated cables, command files, and
detailed information regarding the control port
are available upon request from the Ayre factory.
There are two separate functions performed by the
control port; reception of commands and
transmission of the current power status (”Operate”
or “Standby”) information.
