Ayre KX-8

First appearing in our world famous KX-R preamplifier, the KX-8 features the same recipe for true variable gain volume control; although in a much simpler and cost effective approach. Maintain a constant signal to noise ratio and set the music free, at any volume level. Built around Ayre’s exclusive innovations, the Ayre KX-8 includes fully-balanced, true zero-feedback circuitry throughout for natural musicality, unprecedented dynamics and detail.
