The SX60m is stylish and unobtrusive. The front panel is made from high quality solid 6.0mm (0.2”) thick aluminium extrusion featuring our trademark machined Perreaux logo and large volume control knob. These are finished in durable and stylish satin chrome finish electroplate. On/off status is provided via a discreet blue LED inset into the front panel. The chassis and cover are both manufactured from heavy gauge steel. No cover fixing screws are visible. These minimalist styling cues combine seamlessly to allow form and function to blend in harmony and are typical hallmarks of the Perreaux brand.

At 216mm (8.5”) wide x 58mm (2.3”) high x 178mm (7.0”) deep the SX60m is extremely compact.

Capable of continuously delivering 60W into an 8Ω load, the SX60m is powerful. When correctly matched to loudspeakers, the SX60m will deliver unsurpassed performance in its class and will effortlessly drive a vast array of loudspeakers with the control and authority that people have come to expect from Perreaux products.

Special attention has been paid to ground planes to maintain sonic purity. All signal grounding is optimised to provide a platform for a black background and increased dynamic range.
