7 Special Design Features
Construction
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 Power
Supply
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. 22000µF of
capacitance and extensive RFI and EMI filters are employed to
provide a “rock-solid”, low noise, linear regulated, DC supply.
R & C
Loading
With 10Ω to 47kΩ 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.
