Do not connect the loudspeaker
outputs to any speaker switch-box,
accessory, or test equipment that has a
common ground connection.
Tape Outputs
The Ayre AX-5 provides tape outputs, allowing
connection of the selected source component to a
recording device or headphone amplifier. The tape
outputs utilize balanced XLR connectors. Should it
be necessary to connect a tape output to a
single-ended component, high-quality adapters are
available from your Ayre dealer.
Turn the tape outputs off unless they are
currently being used. This will completely
disconnect the auxiliary components from the
AX-5 (including the ground connection),
eliminating the possibility of undesired ground
loops or other interference.
Unlike the loudspeaker outputs, the tape outputs
will not convert the signal from a single-ended
source to a true balanced signal. Instead, the “hot”
signal will be present on pin 2 of the XLR and pins
1 and 3 will be grounded. This allows a balanced
component connected to the tape outputs to
internally perform the single-ended to balanced
conversion without the need for adapters.
