- Discrete Class-A Analog Stage: Rather than using off-the-shelf integrated operational amplifiers (op-amps), Atoll designs its output stage using discrete components, polarized in Class-A with zero feedback for a natural sound signature.
- High-Grade Components: Built with high-end MKP audio-grade capacitors and housed in a rigid steel chassis with a 4 mm brushed aluminum front panel.
