Overview and Introduction The dps turntable is manufactured in Germany by Bauer Audio, with distribution in North America handled by Ayre. The unique design of the dps turntable design offers a compelling combination of high performance, ease of use, and an elegant appearance. One key feature of the dps turntable’s design is the use of a precision, high-torque 3-phase synchronous motor. The platter itself is of relatively low mass, and the proprietary zero-clearance main bearing creates a consta

AyreLink connections are made with commonly available two-line telephone line cords using modular (RJ-11) connectors. (These are the cords that connect the telephone set to the wall in many countries.) They are readily available in different lengths and various colors at most electronics stores. Be sure to use two-line telephone cords to make AyreLink connections. These can be identified by the four gold contacts on each connector. Single-line cords with only two gold contacts will not function

When the inputs of an AyreLink-equipped preamplifier or integrated amplifier are activated by naming them, many of the common names will have an AyreLink alphabetical code automatically associated with it. For example, the input name “Phono” is associated with the AyreLink code “P” by default. In this way, when the dps turntable’s 3-Phase Power Supply is turned on an AyreLink-equipped preamplifier or integrated amp will also turn on, automatically select the input labeled “Phono”.
