The beautifully styled curving front panel is milled from solid 6.0mm (0.2”) thick aluminium extrusion and finished in a satin chrome electroplate. The front panel also features the mboob^ru® logo machined into the solid aluminium. The chassis and cover are both manufactured from heavy gauge steel. No cover fixing screws are visible. The “Silhouette” SXD2 is stylish yet functional and exhibits typical hallmarks of the Perreaux brand.

The SXD2 has an internal power supply. These designs are invariably more sophisticated than those featuring external plug- in power packs. Special attention must be paid to shielding, transformer design, capacitance and earthing.

We have specially developed a fully shielded, toroidal transformer with three separate secondary windings. Five regulated power supplies are employed, three analog and two digital. This ensures the analog circuitry has maximum isolation from any digital power supply artefacts and noise.
