The linked components should be connected in daisy-
chain fashion, connecting each component to another
until all of the linked components have been connected.
Be careful not to connect the two ends of the chain.
Closing the chain to form a loop will cause the AyreLink
system not to function.
Some digital products have word clock inputs and
provide higher performance when supplied with a high-
quality external word clock. The word clock output in
the Ayre EX-8 is derived from the ultra-low phase-noise
master clock built into the Digital base option.
The Firmware Update port allows you to update core
Firmware with a USB flash drive. For more
information, see page 25.
Word Clock Output
The word clock output lets
you synchronize a digital
source to the EX-8.
Firmware Update Port
To use AyreLink with an
integrated control system, an
optional RS-232 adapter box
is available. Contact your
Ayre dealer for details.
