The SX60m features a 98VA toroidal mains transformer directly soldered to the PCB, Wima and Elna capacitors, highest quality Zobel network and customized internal heat sink solution. The PCB is double-sided and constructed from the highest quality fibreglass base stock featuring 2oz copper.

Perreaux has specially developed a fully shielded 98VA internal toroidal based power supply. No fewer than eight filter capacitors are coupled in parallel providing a total of 17,600uF of power supply smoothing, keeping ripple to a minimum. As a result the power supply is extremely rigid, capable of delivering instantaneous power requirements demanded by musical transients. The result is significantly improved dynamic capabilities.

Front panel features on/off LED indication. The rear panel comprises a mains input receptacle, allowing the cord set to be upgraded if desired, mains switch, high quality speaker binding posts, unbalanced (RCA) and balanced (XLR) line inputs and line outputs.

Careful attention has been paid to the signal path within the amplifier. It is ultra short, guarded by ground planes where necessary and carefully routed to avoid contamination from power supply and high current bearing sections.

Utilising a stable current source, along with accurate current mirroring circuitry, the input stage of the SX60m, in combination with the overall circuit topology, provides precise detail resolution and definitive sonic transparency.

Special attention has been lavished on the PCB layout to keep sensitive signal stages away from power supply and filtering circuitry. The super clean custom designed power supply is physically segregated from the rest of the sensitive electronics.
