Operation

The Ayre P-5xe offers the ultimate in flexibility and performance for all types of phono cartridges. Low-noise FET circuitry provides ultra-quiet operation even with the lowest output cartridges. Both gain and loading are easily adjustable to accommodate both moving coil and moving magnet designs.

Setting the Gain

Ayre’s exclusive zero-feedback design allows for a wide range of signal gain, without the need for step-up transformers or extra gain stages. Changing the gain is easily accomplished with jumper blocks inside the unit.

Disconnect the AC power before removing the cover of the unit.

To access the gain adjustments, remove the 10 screws on the top cover using a 5/64" (2 mm) hex wrench.
