any convenient order. fashion, connecting each component to another until all of the linked components have been connected.
When connecting the linked components to form a chain, be careful not to connect the two ends of the chain. Closing the chain to form a loop will cause the AyreLink system not to function.
If there are no AyreLink-equipped source components in your system, the power status of the KX-R preamplifier may also be controlled by a trigger output from a source component. In this case, AyreLink-equipped amplifiers may still be connected to the KX-R. Connect the AyreLink ports of your amplifiers in daisy-chain fashion as described above. The unused AyreLink port on the KX-R preamplifier can then be used as a trigger input. Additional details can be found in the chapter “Optimization and Customization”.
AC Power
The KX-R may be plugged directly into an unswitched wall outlet. Although proprietary RFI (radio-frequency interference) filtering is built into the preamplifier, in some situations an AC power-line filter (such as those offered by Ayre) may provide additional sonic benefits.
