Specifications
Explained
Sensitivity.................................................................0.17mV to 7.6mV
The Sensitivity figure indicates the input voltage required to
achieve “rated” output (0.75V
RMS
). 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..............................................................9 Ω to 47k Ω
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 low-noise
input circuitry and Class A amplification stages, Perreaux
engineers have kept this figure to a minimum.
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.
