Special Design Philosophies
Perreaux has been designing and manufacturing only the highest quality audio
componentry for more than a quarter of a century. Technology has continued to
evolve rapidly over that time and our knowledge and application of design,
materials and manufacturing techniques has advanced in tandem with this.
Today’s Perreaux range comes closer to fulfilling our shared vision than at any
other time in the past.
To follow is a discussion on some of Perreaux design philosophies that have
been incorporated into the entire range.
Minimalist
Design
Leading British architect, John Pawson, writes:
“
The Minimum can be defined as the perfection that an object
achieves when it is no longer possible to improve it by subtraction.
This is the quality that an object has when every component, every
detail, and every junction has been reduced or condensed to the
essentials. It is the result of the omission of the inessentials
”.
Perreaux has historically embraced the minimalist ethic from an audio design
perspective only. The concept of “less equating to more” has been at the heart
of all Perreaux audio designs for more than a quarter of a century.
Minimalist Electronics
We wish to maximise the quality of your listening pleasure by keeping the
componentry and signal path as uncluttered, short and clean possible. All
components in the signal path, even those of the highest quality have an effect
on the signal, thereby altering the quality of the reproduction in some way. Our
aim is to recreate in its entirety, the original performance by not adding or
subtracting anything, irrespective of the source.
Minimalist User Interface
We carefully study the user interface and par down the number of buttons and
associated clutter leaving just the essential and no more. How tempting it has
been over the years to loose sight of our core values as technology or trends
have made it possible. That is one of the reasons why our older products still
have such a high resale value today. The user interface has and always will
remain simple, free from adornments, clean and uncluttered.
Minimalist Aesthetics
Our products appeal to those who seek the ultimate in audio exclusivity, namely
the perfect blend of “form and function”.
