Carte PHONO ATOLL MM/MC P100

This Atoll MM/MC P100 phono card allows the happy owners of an Atoll product to make it compatible with a turntable fitted with a high output (MM) or low output (MC) cartridge.

Atoll MM/MC P100: design

Its design does not include any surface-mount component or any integrated circuit. The RIAA correction and the gain stages are achieved through the use of discrete components.

The layout is fully symmetrical, which guarantees excellent crosstalk between the channels.

Atoll MM/MC P100: settings

Two internal switches allow you to adjust the gain according to the cartridge, as well as the load (for MC) and the capacitance (for MM).

This makes it perfectly compatible with all quality cartridges on the market.

Atoll MM/MC P100: test and listening

The reproduction is dynamic and transparent, in the pure tradition of the brand.

The level of detail is impressive. With a fine MC cartridge, you obtain an articulation and a breathing that few "integrated" phono sections can provide.

The value for money of this P100 phono card is remarkable. We believe it corresponds to a separate preamplifier worth more than twice its price in terms of quality and musicality.

If you own Atoll electronics and want to make the most of your precious vinyl records, this Atoll MM/MC P100 phono card is the most qualitative and least expensive solution we know of to date!

Exceptional value for money, recommended!

NB: This card is compatible with ATOLL products: IN50, IN80, IN100, IN200, PR100, PR200, PR300, IN400 and PR400 marketed since 2002. All SE versions as well as the PR5.1

FAQ: Everything you need to know before buying the Atoll MM/MC P100 phono card

What is the Atoll MM/MC P100 phono card for?

This Atoll MM/MC P100 phono card allows owners of an Atoll product to make it compatible with a turntable fitted with a high output MM or low output MC cartridge. It is only compatible with Atoll Electronique products, in particular the IN50, IN80, IN100, IN200, PR100, PR200, PR300, IN400 and PR400 models marketed since 2002, as well as all SE versions and the PR5.1, but it is not compatible with the IN30. Its design does not include any surface-mount component or any integrated circuit, the RIAA correction and the gain stages being achieved solely through the use of discrete components. The layout is fully symmetrical, which guarantees excellent crosstalk between the two stereo channels. It rounds out the range of phono preamplifiers.

What settings does the Atoll P100 phono card offer to adapt to different cartridges?

Two internal switches allow you to adjust the gain according to the type of cartridge used, as well as the load for MC cartridges and the capacitance for MM cartridges. This adjustment system makes the card perfectly compatible with all quality cartridges available on the current market. This flexibility is particularly appreciable for users who plan to upgrade their phono cartridge over time without changing their amplification equipment. Installing this card inside a compatible Atoll device remains simple and does not require any particular technical skills.

What is the reproduction quality offered by this integrated phono card?

The reproduction obtained with the Atoll P100 phono card is dynamic and transparent, in the pure sonic tradition of the French brand. The level of detail is impressive, and with a fine MC cartridge, you obtain an articulation and a breathing that few competing "integrated" phono sections can provide. This quality is explained in particular by the absence of surface-mount components, the entire circuit being built with carefully selected discrete components. The value for money of this card is considered remarkable by the testers, who estimate that it is equivalent to a separate phono preamplifier worth more than twice its price. To understand this role, see the phono preamplifiers.

Why choose this card rather than a separate phono preamplifier?

For owners of Atoll electronics wishing to make the most of their vinyl records, this Atoll MM/MC P100 phono card is presented as the most qualitative and least expensive solution available to date. It avoids the purchase and the bulk of a separate phono preamplifier, while integrating directly and discreetly into the existing Atoll device. The testers highlight exceptional value for money and strongly recommend this option for anyone who already owns a compatible amplifier or preamplifier from the brand. This simplicity of integration, combined with high sonic performance, makes it an option to favour before considering a more expensive external phono stage.
