Description
Atoll Electronique MA100 Power Amplifier
The Atoll Electronique MA100 Power Amplifier adopts a careful audiophile design with balanced amplification stages using high quality discrete components.
The power supply is generous in order to offer a strong reserve of current and allow the amp to keep pace at high volume and in the bass. It also offers a fast rise time, ensuring excellent transient response. Everything takes place in a robust steel frame, housed behind a brushed aluminum front panel of great sobriety.

Features
The Atoll MA100 power amplifier operates in pure class A on the first 10 watts of power, thus offering an extremely low distortion rate as well as a very fast response on transients, and then switches to class AB.
It delivers a power of 2 x 60 watts into 8 ohms (150 watts in mono mode) and can easily power speakers with multiple drivers or those deemed to be difficult. Under 4 ohms, the amplification power increases to 2 x 80 watts.
- The connectors of the Atoll MA100 power amplifier include an RCA line input and output, as well as two pairs of speaker terminals. Note that these take place at the upper left and right ends of the rear panel, to facilitate wiring.
- The ideal companion to the Atoll HD120 pre-amp and digital/analog converter , the Atoll MA100 power amp delivers a lively, dynamic sound that is much more robust than its size would suggest. Very musical, it thus offers an excellent opportunity to build a compact chain with separate elements with remarkable acoustic qualities.
