The two are fully independent rather than an MC head amp feeding the MM stage, so both have an equally short signal path. Input gain switches in 5dB steps over a 40dB range, and input resistance and capacitance are individually switchable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable EQ settings cover practically all known cutting curves, including most 78RPM. All settings are software controllable, either on the fly from a smartphone or tablet with the Mola Mola Remote app or stored under the preset buttons, and the preamp can route any input through the phono stage so that multiple turntables and cartridges can be connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent MM and MC input stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput gain switchable in 5dB steps over a 40dB range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividually switchable load resistance and capacitance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEQ settings covering practically all known cutting curves, including most 78RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSettings stored under presets or adjusted with the Mola Mola Remote app\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny input of the host unit can be routed through the phono stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits inside the Makua preamplifier or Kula integrated amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n  .spec-table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border: none; font-size: 0.95em; }\n  .spec-table td { padding: 9px 14px; border: none; vertical-align: top; }\n  .spec-table tr.spec-header td { background-color: #4a4a4a; color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.04em; }\n  .spec-table tr.spec-odd td { background-color: #ffffff; }\n  .spec-table tr.spec-even td { background-color: #d0d0d0; }\n  .spec-table td:first-child { width: 40%; font-weight: 500; }\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhono stage (add-on for Makua and Kula)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-header\"\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003ePerformance\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput noise (MC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.35nV\/rtHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput noise (MM)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.9pA\/rtHz (product page); 2.8 pA\/rtHz max (Makua and Kula user's manuals)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVariable from 30uV to 5mV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTHD, IMD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot measurable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRIAA conformance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e+\/-0.1dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-header\"\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eAvailable Time Constants\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003et1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200, 250, 318, 400, 450us\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003et2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50, 64, 75, 100us\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass shelf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14, 18, 20dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-header\"\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"spec-odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMola Mola Makua preamplifier, Mola Mola Kula integrated amplifier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Mola Mola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67897304744030,"sku":"MM-PHONO-ADDON","price":49000.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2577\/1494\/files\/mola-mola-phono-stage-module-makua-kula.jpg?v=1793459898","url":"https:\/\/www.ultrasound.co.za\/products\/mola-mola-phono-stage-module-makua-kula","provider":"Ultra Sound \u0026 Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
