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

The SXV2 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 an overrated, fully shielded, internal toroidal power supply for the phono supply. 220000F of capacitance and extensive RFI and EMI filters are employed to provide a “rock-solid”, low noise, linear regulated, DC supply.

With 10M to 47kM of Resistance loading and 27pF to 417pF of Capacitance loading selectable via external DIP switches, Perreaux engineers have designed the ultimate flexibility to enable the user to match any cartridge without the hassle of opening the unit.
