AYRE TK-8150 - Manual (Page 24)

Overall Gain
The volume control for the KX-R preamplifier comprises a 60
dB range. For most audio systems this will provide more than
enough range, allowing for low-level late-night listening
sessions as well as the ability to totally immerse yourself in your
favorite music at high volumes.
If you need to change the overall gain of
your system, please contact your Ayre
dealer. They will adjust the gain of your
KX-R to meet the needs of the rest of your
audio system.
However, it is possible that in some systems that the overall
gain will need to be adjusted upwards or downwards to provide
the desired range of listening levels. For example, if both the
gain of the power amplifier and the sensitivity of the
loudspeakers are unusually low, it may be necessary to increase
the system gain. Conversely, if you have extremely sensitive
loudspeakers or source components with a very high output
level, you may wish to decrease the system gain. Either change
is easily accomplished with the Ayre KX-R, as there is a single
resistor per channel that sets the overall gain range. This gain
resistor is mounted in a terminal block and can be changed
without the need for soldering.
If you are also using a surround-sound processor in your
system, changing the overall gain of the preamplifier will require
adjusting the gain of the remaining channels of your
surround-sound processor to match.
Remote Control
As shipped from the factory, the supplied remote control
handset is configured to also operate an Ayre C-5xe
MP universal
stereo disc player. It may also be easily configured to operate an
Ayre CX-7e
MP CD player (or other disc player that utilizes the
RC-5 remote control protocol), or also an Ayre DX-5 Universal
A/V Engine.
