Width | 215mm (8.5”) |
Depth | 168mm (6.6”) |
Height | 57mm (2.2”) |

Gross | 2.0kg (4.4lb) |
Net | 1.4kg (3.1lb) |
Sensitivity | 0.17mV to 7.6mV |
The Sensitivity figure indicates the input voltage required to achieve “rated” output (0.75VRMS). This can be adjusted to suit your cartridge by configuring the Gain setting of your SXV1.
Gain | 40dB to 73dB |
The amount of amplification the preamplifier is asserting on the input signal. Gain can be calculated by dividing the rated output by the input sensitivity. User configurable via the DIP switches provided.
Input Impedance | 9Ω to 47kΩ |
The resistance “load” that is presented to the source component that is driving it. The Input Impedance can be set using the DIP switches to meet the requirements of your cartridge.
Input Capacitance | 27pF to 830pF |
The capacitive “load” that is presented to the source component that is driving it. The Input Capacitance can be set using the DIP switches to meet the requirements of your cartridge.
THD+N | 0.01%, 1kHZ @ rated output |
Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise is the percentage of output signal which is made up of frequencies added due to harmonics of the fundamental frequency and noise. By using
Signal to Noise Ratio | ......................................>80dB, Unweighted |
The ratio of desired signal to noise signals in the output. Phono reproduction is inherently susceptible to noise because of the extremely low output voltage of the cartridge (100’s of µV in the case of Moving Coil). This is why Perreaux engineers have designed the SXV1 to maintain a low noise floor.
