Loudspeaker Outputs

The heavy-duty output The Ayre V-6xe drives the loudspeakers with

terminals of the Ayre V-6xebalanced outputs. Since none of the output

work best with speaker cables terminals are grounded, connecting any of them to

using spade lugs. ground may result in damage to the amplifier.

Do not connect the loudspeaker outputs to any speaker switch-box, accessory, or test equipment that has a common ground connection.

AC Power

The V-6xe may be plugged directly into an unswitched wall outlet. Although proprietary RFI (radio-frequency interference) filtering is built into the amplifier, in some situations an AC power-line filter (such as those offered by Ayre) may provide additional sonic benefits.

Power Amplifier specifications

Ayre Acoustics has long been synonymous with high-end audio performance, and their power amplifiers are no exception. Best known for their commitment to pure sound and innovative engineering, Ayre Acoustics offers a range of power amplifiers that have become a benchmark in the audiophile community.

One of the defining characteristics of Ayre power amplifiers is their unique Class A design. This configuration guarantees that the amplifier operates in its most linear region, ensuring minimal distortion and delivering the purest audio signal possible. Unlike many solid-state amplifiers that may switch into Class A/B mode, Ayre's designs remain true Class A across their operating range, providing users with a warmer and more accurate sound reproduction.

At the core of Ayre's amplifiers is their proprietary output stage, known as the "Ayre Diamond Output Stage." This groundbreaking technology has been engineered to eliminate crossover distortion, a common issue in many conventional amplifiers. By employing a unique method of biasing, the Ayre Diamond Output Stage ensures a seamless transition between the output devices, resulting in a smooth, uninterrupted musical experience. This innovation makes Ayre's amplifiers particularly favored by those who appreciate intricate details in orchestral and acoustic performances.

Moreover, Ayre’s amplifiers are equipped with their exclusive "Fully Discrete" circuitry, which utilizes individual components instead of integrated circuits. This approach allows for superior sound quality and customization, as each component can be optimized for its specific function. By minimizing the signal path, Ayre preserves the integrity of the audio signal throughout the amplification process.

In addition to their technological advancements, Ayre power amplifiers are designed with durability and aesthetics in mind. Built with high-quality materials, these amplifiers exhibit a robust construction that ensures longevity, while their elegant design enhances any audio setup. Ayre’s attention to detail extends to their front-panel displays, which provide intuitive feedback and controls for users.

Another noteworthy aspect of Ayre power amplifiers is their impressive power output, allowing them to drive a wide range of speakers efficiently. They are designed to deliver a clean, dynamic range with authority, making them suitable for both home theater setups and high-fidelity stereo listening.

In conclusion, Ayre Acoustics power amplifiers marry innovative technology with meticulous design, creating products that deliver exceptional audio performance. With features like Class A operation, the Ayre Diamond Output Stage, Fully Discrete circuitry, and elegant aesthetics, these amplifiers stand out as a premier choice for audiophiles seeking an unparalleled listening experience.
