Features
Highly Refined Circuit Design
All Perreaux analogue amplification stages are based on circuits that have
been extensively optimised over many years of continuous development.
By starting with excellent circuit designs and working with them over the
years, we are able to discover the many small refinements that add up to
superlative performance, in a variety of applications.
Capacitor-Free Signal Path
The inputs of the éloquence 150i are DC coupled and there is not a
single capacitor in the signal path that the audio signal passes through,
improving low-frequency response and linearity. There are no capacitors
to degrade over time and hinder performance, so the amplifier will essen-
tially sound the same years after its initial purchase.
Precision Volume Control
The éloquence 150i uses a solid-state stepped attenuator offering precise
resolution with exceptional channel matching. The sealed package and
lack of mechanical contacts, results in an ageless volume control – wiper
noise and component drift is a thing of the past.
Non-Invasive Balance Control
Balance control in the éloquence 150i is accomplished without the addi-
tion of any further circuitry, thereby removing its potential effects on the
audio signal. The balance control benefits from the same precise resolu-
tion offered by the volume control.
MOSFET Technology
As with all Perreaux products, the éloquence 150i integrated amplifier
capitalises on the benefits of using MOSFET technology in its output
stages – excellent high-frequency response, improved distortion perform-
ance and reliability.
Balanced Input
The éloquence 150i features a balanced input via XLR connectors, allow-
ing optimal performance with the many high-end CD players and other
audio components that utilise the benefits of balanced outputs.
Intuitive User Interface
The interface knob on the front panel of the éloquence 150i is the heart
of the user interface experience – allowing fundamental control of the
volume, and intuitive navigation and adjustment within the éloquence
menu system.
Highly Customisable
Many settings of the éloquence 150i are user customisable – inputs may
be named appropriately, select only inputs that are used, precisely match
volume levels between inputs, set inputs to bypass the volume control,
set initial and maximum volumes. Essentially, the amplifier can operate
as if it were custom designed for your system. These are only a selection
of the available settings you can customise; continue reading for discus-
sion on other customisable settings.
Infrared Remote Control
The supplied infrared (IR) remote control offers complete control over the
éloquence 150i in a small and functional package. External control by IR
is also offered via the IR input on the rear panel, should the amplifier be
inside a cabinet or outside line-of-sight of the remote control.
Smart Home Integration
The éloquence 150i can easily be integrated into any smart home, using
the RS-232 port at the rear of the amplifier and interfacing to devices
from the likes of Control4™, AMX™ and Crestron™. Coupled with the IR
input, smart home integration has never been easier.
