Loudspeaker Outputs

The heavy-duty output terminals of the The Ayre MX-R drives the loudspeakers with balanced outputs.

Ayre MX-R work best with speaker cables Since neither of the loudspeaker output terminals are grounded,

using spade lugs. 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 linked components may be joined in any convenient order.

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 should be connected in daisy-chain fashion, connecting each component to another until all of the linked components have been connected.
