AYRE VX-5 - Manual (Page 6)

Above each channel’s input connectors is a small
toggle switch. Be sure to set the switch to the
correct setting for the input you have chose to use.
The input configuration switch does not protrude
far from the rear panel. This is to avoid
accidentally setting it to the wrong position. If
necessary use a toothpick (or similar object) to
select the switch position.
Loudspeaker Outputs
The heavy-duty output
terminals of the Ayre VX-5
work best with speaker cables
equipped with spade lugs.
The Ayre VX-5 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.
Do not connect the loudspeaker
outputs to any speaker switch-box,
accessory, or test equipment that has a
common ground connection.
Two sets of speaker terminals are provided for
each channel. This allows for easier use of
multi-wired (e.g., bi-wired) connections. There is
no difference between the pairs of outputs.
