Overview and
Introduction
The dps turntable is manufactured in Germany by
Bauer Audio, with distribution in North America
handled by Ayre. The unique design of the dps
turntable design offers a compelling combination of
high performance, ease of use, and an elegant
appearance.
One key feature of the dps turntable’s design is the
use of a precision, high-torque 3-phase synchronous
motor. The platter itself is of relatively low mass,
and the proprietary zero-clearance main bearing
creates a constant load on the motor. This allows the
motor to precisely control the speed of the record.
The Ayre 3-Phase Power Supply is designed
exclusively for the dps turntable and supplies an
ultra-low distortion, analog-generated sine wave to
each of the motor’s three windings via three
zero-feedback power amplifiers. The turntable’s
speed may be electronically selected between 33-1/3
rpm and 45 rpm with the front panel button.

Connections and
Installation
The Ayre 3-Phase Power Supply is easy to connect
and use. The following guidelines will ensure that
the installation goes smoothly.
Location
A good location for your power supply is at an easily
accessible height in an open-backed cabinet or on a
shelf. The internal power transformer creates a
low-level stray magnetic field that may induce hum
if placed too close to some phono cartridges.
Motor Drive Output
The Ayre 3-Phase Power Supply is designed to only
power the dps turntable. Simply connect the DIN
connector from the motor cable to the rear of the
power supply and tighten the locking ring.
Do not connect the 3-Phase Power
Supply to any other brand of turntable.
Doing so may damage the power
supply and/or the motor.
4
AC Power
The Ayre 3-Phase Power Supply may be plugged
directly into an unswitched wall outlet. Although
proprietary RFI (radio-frequency interference)
filtering is built into the unit, in some situations an
AC power-line filter (such as those offered by Ayre)
may provide additional sonic benefits.
AyreLink Ports
The AyreLink communication system provides a
convenient way to control your audio system. There
are two AyreLink ports on the rear panel of the
3-Phase Power Supply. Each port has four contacts
and contains both an input and an output. Both
ports function identically and may be used
interchangeably.

Attention! For maximum performance, power supply
is factory adjusted to match each individual motor.
AyreLink connections are made with commonly
available two-line telephone line cords using
modular (RJ-11) connectors. (These are the cords
that connect the telephone set to the wall in many
countries.) They are readily available in different
lengths and various colors at most electronics stores.
Be sure to use two-line telephone cords
to make AyreLink connections. These
can be identified by the four gold
contacts on each connector. Single-line
cords with only two gold contacts will
not function in this application.
The linked components may be
joined in any convenient order.
The linked components should be connected in
daisy-chain fashion, connecting each component to
another until all of the linked components have been
connected.
When connecting the linked
components to form a chain, be careful
not to connect the two ends of the
chain. Closing the chain to form a loop
will cause the AyreLink system not to
function.

Controls and
Operation
The Ayre 3-Phase Power Supply has a front-panel
button that controls the turntable motor. The unit
can also control other linked components via the
AyreLink communication system.
Status LED and Standby Button
The status LED on the front panel is also the
standby button. Pressing this button selects between
the “Standby” and “Operate” modes.
Red = Warm-Up
Green = Standby
Blue = Operate (33-1/3rpm)
Violet = Operate (45 rpm)
When the unit is first connected to an AC power
outlet, the status LED will glow red for
approximately 60 seconds, indicating that the unit
is in “Warm-Up” mode. After the circuitry has
stabilized, the indicator light will change to green,
indicating that the unit is in “Standby” mode and is
ready for operation.
The turntable speed may be selected from the
“Standby” mode. A short press of the front-panel
button will select 33-1/3rpm and the indicator light
will glow blue.
7
To select 45 rpm operation, while the unit is in
“Standby” mode simply press and hold the
front-panel button for two seconds. The status LED
will glow violet to indicate 45 rpm.
AyreLink
The AyreLink communication system provides
integrated control functions for your audio system.
Linked components will turn on automatically with
the touch of a single button, and other features are
also available.
Operate
The AyreLink system
transmits the “Operate”
command sequentially with a
brief delay between
components, avoiding potential
overload of the AC power.
Turning on the Ayre 3-Phase Power Supply will
automatically turn on all other linked components
that are further down the signal chain, including the
preamplifier and power amplifier. In addition, a
properly configured linked preamplifier will also
automatically switch to the phono input when the
3-Phase Power Supply is turned on.
