Ayre Acoustics K-1x Car Amplifier User Manual


 
Installation and
Operation
The Ayre K-1x is easy to hook up and use. The following
guidelines will ensure that the installation goes smoothly.
Location
The Ayre K-1x comprises two components - the main
preamplifier and the external power supply, which are
joined by an umbilical cable. A detachable connector allows
these units to be temporarily separated for easy installation.
The preamplifier’s power
supply emits a mild hum
field, and should be located
away from other components.
The main unit produces very little heat and can normally be
stacked with other components. However, in certain
situations, hum can be induced into the audio circuitry. In
this case, try separating the components by a few feet (one
meter or so) to isolate the interfering component.
The receiver for the optional infrared remote control is
mounted behind the left-most scallop on the preamplifier’s
front panel. Although the transmitter’s beam will reflect off
of most wall surfaces, a direct line of sight from the
listening position will ensure the maximum range. The
beam will also travel through glass if necessary.
