The Atoll IN80 Signature integrated amplifier replaces the famous Atoll IN80 SE. Of course, this model is designed and made in France. It offers a power of 2 x 80w at 8 ohms and delivers 120w at 4 ohms.
ATOLL IN80 SIGNATURE: CHASSIS AND FRONT PANEL
The IN80 Signature from Atoll consists of a metal chassis of 1.5 mm with a new brushed-aluminium front panel available in black or natural. The top of the device is perforated for high heat dissipation.
The front panel takes up the design of the IN300 integrated amp.
In its centre, there is a volume potentiometer (with the remote control option). To the right of it, there are 2 buttons to select the desired input. To the left, 7 led indicate the selected input.
ATOLL IN80 SIGNATURE: INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
The Atoll IN80 Signature has 5 analogue inputs, 1 by-pass input, 1 double preamp output and 1 Tape in/out. A 6.35mm Jack headphone output is also available on the front panel.
The 5 analogue inputs are the following: auxiliary input, CD input, tuner input, DVD and Tape input.
The by-pass input can connect a preamplifier. By choosing this input, the integrated becomes a power amplifier.
The double preamplifier output allows the IN80 Signature amplifier to be connected to one or two power amplifiers in order to become a preamplifier.
You can also connect a preamplifier output to a subwoofer.
ATOLL IN80 SIGNATURE: COMPONENTS
The Atoll IN80 Signature integrated amplifier receives several improvements in terms of components.
It is equipped with an electronic protection system. If the maximum power allowed is exceeded, the standby indicator flashes red for some seconds and then the amplifier automatically reduces the volume.
The printed circuit is gold/nickel double face. The toroidal transformer develops 340 VA! It is associated with more than 30 000 uF of capacity!
The amplification is based on fully symmetrical stages with discrete components and the connecting capacitors are MKT technology.
The source selection is made via relay. The internal structure has been revised compared to the previous model, in order to have better performance and musicality.
ATOLL IN80 SIGNATURE: OPTIONS
The Atoll IN80 Signature can be controlled from the front panel, but it is equipped with an infrared captor. So it can be controlled with the optional remote control.
However, the major new features are the options available at the input level:
- Instead of the auxiliary input, it can receive an Atoll P50 phono card (for MM cartridges) or an Atoll P100 phono card (for MM or MC cartridges). Equipped like that, you can listen to your favorite vinyl records.
- If you want to listen to your music from a computer (Mac or PC) or a tablet or other device, you need the Atoll Signature digital card, which is the one that comes standard with the IN300! It offers 2 coaxial inputs in 24 bits/192kHz and 2 optical inputs, also in 24 bits/192kHz, as well as an asynchronous USB-B input in PCM from 16 bits to 32bits up to 384kHz and DSD64 and DSD128. There is also a Bluetooth receiver in direct digital connection to the AKM AK4490 audio converter.
- It is also possible to add the Atoll SPDIF digital card. This one is simpler, without USB and Bluetooth, only 2 SPDIF and 2 optical inputs.
ATOLL IN80 SIGNATURE: TEST AND LISTENING
The Atoll IN80 Signature takes advantage of an impressive sense of detail. Indeed, each instrument is reproduced properly and precisely, whatever the kind of music listened to.
Its power supply well-dimensioned and gives it a lot of ease, even with speakers that are a quite difficult to drive.
The dynamic is alive, without being projected. This is the kind of amp that does not cheat, the music is both natural and very realistic.
Associated to an excellent source and a good pair of Hi-Fi speakers, the IN80 Signature gives excellent results regarding to its price.
The Atoll IN80 Signature integrated amplifier is a real evolution of Atoll’s old model in terms of music, performance and evolution.
This integrated amp is certainly one of the best amplifiers available under 1 000 euros! Recommended product!

Customer reviews
Superbe
Autant en design qu'a l'écoute, cet IN80 est superbe (je l'ai pris argent).
Après 30 ans passé avec un système des années 80, je me suis décidé a passer le cap mais sans me ruiner et j'ai redécouvert le plaisir de la musique.
Avec mes vieux éléments, lecteur CD Harman Kardon HD7450 et enceintes Jean-Marie Reynaud XO modèle1, il rend magnifiquement avec beaucoup de douceur mais également de la pèche . Il est aussi très bien équilibré avec la platine Project Carbon 3 que j'ai pris en même temps.
Excellent rapport qualité/prix . Bravo Atoll et un grand merci a Maplatine pour tous les bon conseils.
