Outputs
The Ayre P-5xe offers one pair of balanced (XLR)
outputs and one pair of unbalanced (RCA) outputs.
Although both sets of outputs are always active
regardless of which input (balanced or unbalanced)
is used, it is normally recommended to only use one
set of outputs at a time.
Note that the level of the unbalanced outputs will
be 6 dB lower than the balanced outputs.
AC Power
The phono preamplifier draws
only a small amount of power
and is designed to be left on at
all times.
Connect the Ayre P-5xe to an unswitched AC power
source. The front panel LED will glow blue to
indicate that the unit is powered. Although
proprietary RFI (radio-frequency interference)
filtering is built into the CD player, in some
situations an AC power-line filter (such as those
offered by Ayre) may provide additional sonic
benefits.
