Loudspeaker Outputs
The heavy-duty output terminals of the
Ayre MX-R work best with speaker cables
using spade lugs.
The Ayre MX-R drives the loudspeakers with balanced outputs.
Since neither of the loudspeaker output terminals are grounded,
connecting them to ground may damage the amplifier.
Do not connect the loudspeaker outputs to any
speaker switch-box, accessory, or test equipment
that has a common ground connection.
AyreLink Ports
The AyreLink communication system provides a convenient way
to control your audio system. There are two AyreLink ports on
the rear panel of the MX-R amplifier. Each port has four
contacts and contains both an input and an output. Both ports
function identically and may be used interchangeably.
AyreLink connections are made with commonly available
two-line telephone line cords using modular (RJ-11) connectors.
(These are the cords that connect the telephone set to the wall in
many countries.) They are readily available in different lengths
and various colors at most electronics stores.
Be sure to use two-line telephone cords to make
AyreLink connections. These can be identified by
the four gold contacts on each connector.
Single-line cords with only two gold contacts will
not function in this application.
The linked components may be joined in
any convenient order.
The linked components should be connected in daisy-chain
fashion, connecting each component to another until all of the
linked components have been connected.
