Digital Filter
The digital filter of the Ayre C-5xeMPfeatures two user-selectable algorithms. A selector switch is located on the rear panel. One algorithm produces greater accuracy in the time domain and is labeled “Listen”. The other algorithm produces greater accuracy in the frequency domain and is labeled “Measure”.
Normally the selector switch is set to the “Listen” position when listening to music. However some listeners may prefer the additional high-frequency energy provided by the “Measure” position.
This switch only affects the analog outputs, and not the digital audio output.
Control Port
The control port on the rear panel of the C-5xeMPallows the unit to communicate with a system controller such as a Crestron or AMX. The control port uses opto-isolators to ensure that there are no unwanted ground loops created when using a system controller.
Pre-terminated cables, command files, and detailed information regarding the control port are available upon request from the Ayre factory.
There are two separate functions performed by the control port; reception of commands and transmission of the current power status (”Operate” or “Standby”) information.
