Description
Atoll PR400 Evo
The Atoll PR400 Evo pre-amplifier is a high-end pre-amp hand made by experts in Normandy, Northern France – it offers superlative audiophile performance at a very realistic price considering its quality and pedigree. The Atoll PR400 Evo is a world-class amplifier and will better many ultra-high-end amps regardless of cost.
The Atoll PR400 Evolution operates in dual mono with one low-noise transformer per channel. The potentiometers and selection relays are also separate for the two channels. The link capacitors (top-of-the-range MKP) are shielded in independent formwork to avoid any parasitic noise. The volume is managed by two motorised, independent, and perfectly synchronised ALPS potentiometers. We use a proprietary servo system, based on a real-time measurement not intrusive to the audio.
- 10 mm brushed aluminium front panel.

The discrete component audio stages have a purely symmetrical structure, the scheme is based on a dual input differential pair and an original scheme biased in class A with very low feedback. This structure allows for the minimisation of both the overall and the intermodulation distortion, which favours the spatial and material perception of the instruments. The PR400 Evo has a low-consumption OLED model display that was chosen for its excellent contrast and low electromagnetic interference. Moreover, its power supply and the ones of all the control devices are completely independent of the audio power supplies.
