6 6 Special Design Features
Construction 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 Power
Supply
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 “rock-solid”, super low ripple,
linear regulated, DC supply.
R & C
Loading
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.
