Readers interested in a full technical appraisal of the performance of the Perreaux 200iX should continue on and read the LABORATORY REPORT published on the following pages.
Readers should note that the results mentioned in the report, tabulated in performance charts and/or displayed using graphs and/or photographs should be construed as applying only to the specific sample tested.
Newport Test Labs first measured the frequency response of the Perreaux 200iX and it proved to have an extraordinarily wide bandwidth, such that the lab measured it as being less than 1dB down at 1Hz and less than 1dB down at 120kHz. Using the more usual 3dB power down-points, the frequency response of the Perreaux 200iX extended from below 1Hz up to 239kHz. This is amazingly good. The frequency response across the audio bandwidth was extraordinarily linear into both laboratory test loads and into a simulated loudspeaker load, as we will discover in a moment.
then went on to measure the power output of the Perreaux 200iX, the results of which are shown in the tabulated results and in the accompanying 3D bar
