AYRE AX-5 - Manual (Page 26)

Overall Gain
The volume control for the AX-5 amplifier
comprises a 69 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.
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 the sensitivity of your
loudspeakers is 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 AX-5, 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
amplifier 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
