HISTORY
ATOLL Company was founded in September 1997 by Stéphane & Emmanuel DUBREUIL. The market shows
at this period that only few audiophiles products were affordable to main people. Specialised magazines and
melomanes immediately accorded them a great audience and interest especially for best buy integrated IN80.
Then were proposed CD Players & and FM Tuner. Developing those new  electronics was based on same
passion for musicality.  Few years after, the line was completed with A/V products preamplifier/processor, 3/5
channels power amplifiers, and with a DVD-SACD Player.
Our main goal have always been to propose people the ability to have the most realistic listening music. To
reach it, we always have to search for an exceptional musicality/price rate when we are thinking about new
products. That’s the reason why long listening and comparisons periods are mixed with tests & measurements of
electrical stages and choice of important components. 
CHOICES
- CONCEPTION: fully symmetrical stages with discrete components, double mono configuration, low feedback
rate, audio short lenght path, star ground, internal protections;
- ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS: high-value Snap-In capacitors with low serial resistance, ALPS potentiometers,
steel resistors, MOS-FET output transistors;
- MANUFACTURE:  handmade implementation and soldering in our factory based in Brécey - France, assembling
and manufacturing of all elements, tests with 4 phases of verifications, control, measurements and listening
of each products before packaging;
- FORWARDERS: every specifics pieces such as front panel, chassis and boards are made in France. This
offers reliable and regular quality, a good reactivity and a great flexibility of adaptation to any request;
