AYRE K-5xe - Manual (Page 6)

with no moving parts. Please be aware that they can
be overloaded if the output voltage from the source
component is too high.
Do not use a source component that has
an output level greater than 4 V rms
unbalanced, or 8 V rms balanced.
Using a source component with too great an output
level will cause distortion.
The input connectors on the
rear panel are labeled to
match the input selector
buttons.
In this modern era of diverse source components, it
has become impractical to pre-label the inputs with
the actual name of the source. Instead, the K-5xe
MP
has simple alpha-numeric labels that allow you to
easily remember the selector button associated with
each source component.
Tape Outputs
By connecting the “Tape Out” jacks on the rear of
the K-5xe
MP to a recorder with analog inputs,
recordings may be made directly from the other
source components connected to your preamplifier.
The tape outputs are switched on and off at the front
panel or via the remote. Please refer to the section
“Controls and Operation” for further information.
If a recorder is not installed in
your system, the “S2” 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 “S2” input of the K-5xe
MP .
This will prevent the undesired possibility of
creating a feedback loop when making a recording.
