To produce their IN30 integrated amplifier, French company Atoll drew on their extensive experience gained from their high-end creations.
Atoll IN30: inputs and outputs
It has 4 analogue inputs, 1 Tape (or Bypass) input, one 3.5mm jack input, 1 headphone jack and 1 preamplifier output.
The bypass input can be used to connect to a preamplifier. If you select this input, the Atoll IN30 takes on the functionality of a power amplifier.
Atoll IN30: features
This amplifier also functions in dual mono mode after stabilisation. The components are entirely discrete and it uses Mosfet transistors.
It uses an 170VA toroidal transformer.
This integrated amp has a power capacity of 2 x 50W. The Atoll IN30 integrated amplifier uses an electronic protection system whereby if the maximum power is exceeded, a warning light will flash red for a few seconds and the device will go into standby mode automatically. It will switch itself on again after a few seconds.
Atoll IN30: adjustments
The ‘Mode’ button on the front panel enables you to adjust a variety of settings. If you press this button once, the driver outputs will be disabled to enable headphone listening.
To reactivate the driver outputs, all you need to do is press the Mode button once again.
If you press and hold this button for 2 seconds, the balance will be enabled. This will be shown by the 2 rows of LED lights on the left. To turn up the left channel, just press the Volume Up button, and to turn up the right channel press the Volume Down button.
The balance you select will remain active when the amp is switched off, but will be reset if the power supply is cut off.
Atoll IN30: listening and review
The Atoll IN30 integrated amplifier produces a high fidelity sound.
It reproduces each and every detail of your favourite music with precision, especially in the upper registers, which is a trademark of all Atoll products.
Each instrument is in its rightful place, and the tone of the dynamic range is more than satisfactory.
The strengths of the Atoll IN30 integrated amplifier are highly appealing. And at this price, it has very little competition!
