Connections and Installation The Ayre AX-7e is easy to connect and use. The following guidelines will ensure that the installation goes smoothly. Location Be sure to provide at least A good location for your integrated amplifier is in three inches (75 mm) of air an open-backed cabinet or on a shelf. The AX-7e space above the unit. produces a moderate amount of heat during use. It is important to maintain an adequate supply of air flow to avoid overheating. The infrared beam of the The receiver f

while unbalanced connections are made via RCA connectors. When you have a choice, a balanced connection will offer slightly higher sound quality than an unbalanced connection. The FET switches used in the input selector circuitry offer transparent, noise-free switching, 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 than4Vrms unbalanced, or 8 V rms balanc

Controls and Operation The Ayre AX-7e integrated amplifier may be controlled using either the front panel buttons or the included remote control handset. Remote Control The supplied remote control handset can operate both the AX-7e integrated amplifier as well as an Ayre CD player. The controls to operate the CD player are grouped towards the top of the handset, while those for the integrated amplifier are grouped towards the bottom. The remote control handset uses 2 x AAA batteries, which must

metal-film resistors to create a volume control with crystal-clear transparency and no moving parts. The volume control comprises 66 individual levels, each with a step size of 1.0 dB allowing for precise selection of the desired volume setting. The volume level is changed by pressing the black bar above the front-panel display. The remote control may also be used to change the volume. When the unit is first connected to AC power , the volume level defaults to “11”, a relatively low setting. Aft

Input Source Selection The input selector buttons are located at the right side of the unit. Icons that match the connector labels on the rear panel (Star, Planet, Comet, Moon) are used to denote the inputs. When the unit is first connected to an AC power source, the “Star” input is selected by default. After that, the current input selection is retained in memory, even when the unit is placed in “Standby”. The input selector utilizes sophisticated FET switches. Both the signal and ground connec

Display The display of the AX-7e may be turned off, if desired. A single blue light indicates that the display is turned off. When further commands are received, either from the front-panel buttons or the remote control, the display will be activated for a few seconds to confirm the command, and then turn off automatically. Pressing the “Display” button again will turn the display on. Standby The Ayre AX-7e is very energy-efficient, and only consumes about as much power as a standard light bulb

If you are using a surround-sound processor, connect the front left and front right outputs of the processor to one of the inputs on the AX-7e. Please note that the AX-7e can accept either balanced or unbalanced signals. To activate the “Processor Pass-Through” mode for that input, remove the AC power from the AX-7e for at least 10 seconds. Then, while pressing the input selector button corresponding to the chosen surround-sound processor input, re-connect the AC power. The chosen input is now p
