The beautifully styled curving front panel is milled from solid 6.0mm (0.2”) thick aluminium extrusion and finished in a special “Perreaux only” formulation of durable high quality black powder coat. The front panel also features the PERREAUX® logo carved into the solid aluminium. The chassis and cover are both manufactured from heavy gauge metal. No cover fixing screws are visible. The “Silhouette” SXV1 is stylish yet functional and exhibits typical hallmarks of the Perreaux brand.
The SXV1 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, supply transformer design, capacitance and earthing.
Perreaux has specially developed a 6x oversized (10VA) fully shielded internal toroidal power supply for the phono supply. A total of 17600µF of smoothing capacitance and low pass RC filters are employed to provide a
With 21 values of Resistance loading and 16 values of Capacitance loading, Perreaux engineers have designed the ultimate flexibility to enable the user to match any cartridge.
