SDD LAUNCHES MOLA MOLA LUPE PHONO STAGE IN THE UK
Sound Design Distribution has announced the UK availability of Mola Mola’s Lupe MM/MC Phono Stage.
Dutch HiFi brand Mola Mola has developed the RIAA phono stage from its Makua pre-amplifier and Kula integrated amplifier to create an enhanced standalone component dubbed ‘Lupe’. In the process.
MOLA MOLA LUPE PHONO STAGE
Mola Mola has re-engineered the design, equipping the Lupe with fully independent MC/MM stages, each with short signal paths, each optimised for low current noise and voltage noise respectively.

FINE SIGNAL ADJUSTMENT
Mola Mola has integrated high levels of fine signal adjustment. Input gain is switchable in 5dB steps over a 40dB range. Input resistance and capacitance are individually switchable. Available EQ settings cover practically all known cutting curves including 78 RPM.
BALANCED AND SINGLE ENDED INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Fine calibration via analogue switches is controlled from the Mola Mola Remote app or stored directly under preset buttons. Lupe can be configured to route any of the four inputs, three single-ended and one balanced, through the phono stage, allowing multiple turntables and/or cartridges to be connected. There are two outputs, balanced and single-ended.
The Mola Mola Lupe Phono Stage is completed with a dedicated power supply and subsonic filter, and an ‘at a glance’ display set within Mola Mola’s characteristically stylish half-sized rippled chassis.
