Specifications

Explained

THD+N .................................................................... 0.001%, @ 1kHZ

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.

Frequency Response..................20Hz to 20kHz, +0dB -0.05dB

Shows that the amplitude or strength of the output signal deviates
by no more than 0.05dB over the entire audio band.

Signal to Noise Ratio

(

unweighted

)

........................................ 118dB

The ratio of desired signal to noise signals in the output.
Perreaux engineers have designed the SXP2 to maintain a low
noise floor.

Crosstalk.................................................................... -120dB @ 1kHz

Crosstalk is caused by stray inductances and capacitances
between components and lines, which results in unintentional
mixing of stereo signals. Meticulous wire routing ensures
excellent high-frequency separation.

Channel Tracking................................................................... 0.50dB

Channel tracking is the difference in level between the left and
right channels. It is worst at the extremities of the potentiometers
rotation.

Gain Range ...................................................................-93dB to 0dB

The range in which the SXP2 can alter the volume level. At the
minimum setting the volume level is -93dB, at the maximum
setting the level is 0dB.

Input Impedance....................................................................... 10kΩ
The resistance “load” that is presented to the source component
that is driving the SXP2.

Potentiometer Type.........................................................Audio Log

Potentiometers are available in a range of configurations and fall
into two major categories, linear and logarithmic. Audio taper
potentiometers are logarithmic and are widely used in audio
because the human ear responds on a logarithmic scale.
