Ayre Acoustics K-5x Tape Outputs, If a recorder is not installed in, unbalanced inputs

The FET switches used in the input selector circuitry offer transparent, noise-free switching, with no moving parts. Please be aware that they can be overloaded if the output voltage from the source component is too high.

Do not use a source component that has an output level greater than 4 V RMS unbalanced, or 8 V RMS balanced.

Using a source component with too great an output level will cause distortion.

Tape Outputs

	By connecting the “Tape Out” jacks on the rear of

	recordings may be made directly from the other

	The tape outputs are switched on and off at the front
