AYRE AX-7e - Manual (Page 7)

If a recorder is not installed in
your system, the “Moon” input
performs exactly like the other
unbalanced inputs.
If you are connecting a recorder to your
system, be sure to connect its outputs to
the “Moon” input of the AX-7e.
This will prevent the undesired possibility of
creating a feedback loop when making a recording.
Loudspeaker Outputs
The heavy-duty output
terminals of the Ayre AX-7e
work best with speaker cables
using spade lugs.
The Ayre AX-7e drives the loudspeakers with
balanced outputs. Since none of the output
terminals are grounded, connecting any of them to
ground may result in damage to the amplifier.
D o n o t c o n n e c t t h e l o u d s p e a k e r
outputs to any speaker switch-box,
accessory, or test equipment that has a
common ground connection.
AC Power
The AX-7e may be plugged directly into an
unswitched wall outlet. Although proprietary RFI
(radio-frequency interference) filtering is built into
the amplifier, in some situations an AC power-line
filter (such as those offered by Ayre) may provide
additional sonic benefits.
Removing the AC power from
the unit will cause it to lose
its memorized settings and
revert to the default settings.
When the unit is first connected to AC power, the
input selector will default to “Star”, the volume will
be at “11”, the display will be “On”, and both the
mute and record output will be “Off”.
