Ayre Acoustics MX-R manual Operation, Controls and, Status LED and Standby Button

Controls and

Operation

The Ayre MX-R has a front-panel button for conventional stand-alone operation. The amplifier may also may be controlled by other linked components via the AyreLink communication system. Alternatively the AyreLink port may be used to accept a trigger signal from another component, thereby controlling the amplifier’s operating state.

Status LED and Standby Button

There is a status LED on the amplifier’s front panel that indicates the operational status of the unit.

The status LED on the front panel is also the standby button. Pressing this button selects between the “Standby” and “Operate” modes.

Green = Standby When the amplifier is first connected to AC power, the status

Blue = Operate LED will glow green, indicating that the unit is in “Standby” mode. When the listener presses the front-panel button, the unit changes to “Operate” mode and the indicator light glows blue.
