AYRE VX-5 - Manual (Page 5)

Connections and
Installation
The Ayre VX-5 is easy to use. The following
guidelines will ensure that the installation goes
smoothly.
Location
Do not stack the Ayre VX-5
directly with other
components, as this may
restrict the air flow or induce
hum into the audio circuitry.
A good location for your power amplifier is in an
open-backed cabinet or on a shelf. The VX-5
produces a moderate amount of heat during
operation. Be sure to provide at least three inches
(75 mm) of air space above the amplifier.
An adequate supply of air flow will
avoid overheating the amplifier.
.
Inputs
When you have a choice, a
balanced connection will offer
slightly higher sound quality
than a single-ended
connection.
The Ayre VX-5 offers one pair of balanced inputs
and one pair of single-ended inputs. Balanced
connections are made via three-pin XLR connectors,
while single-ended connections are made with RCA
connectors.
