The User
Interface
The user interface is a blend of minimalism, functionality and aesthetics.
Front Panel Interface.
All user interaction takes place within the ellipse. The highest level of user
interaction is assured via the 2-line/16-character alphanumeric vacuum
fluorescent display (VFD). In combination with the VFD, the five large
format buttons with backlit labels situated either side of the display,
provide the user with full interaction.
Handheld Remote Controller
The 36 button remote controller has been designed to provide complete
interaction with the R200i and other nominated Perreaux peripherals.
On account of the compactness of design, all functions are accessible with
your thumb.
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.
