The brand's unique identity lies not only in its design philosophy but also in its name. Mola Mola is a large fish, better known as the ocean sunfish, whose image, complete with its distinctive fins, is featured in the brand's logo. The soft, original design of the electronics, including the remote control, also draws inspiration from the fish, imitating its surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eBehind Mola Mola is the brilliant Bruno Putzeys, who founded it just over 10 years ago and is its current CEO. He has always made digital amplification his flagship, being, among other things, one of the developers of the UcD (Universal Class-D), a compact and versatile amplifier module, subsequently sold in various versions that equip almost all digital amplifiers. In short, Mola Mola is one of the very few cases, perhaps the only one, in which the Class-D amplifier module is not simply implemented, but is actually custom-designed and exclusively designed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kula is the new product, an integrated amplifier that complements the Makua preamp, the Tambaqui DAC, and the Kaluga monoblocks. The names recall fish or splendid tropical beaches. Kula, on the other hand, is a gift-exchanging ceremony performed in the Trobriand Islands, a central event in the lives of those people, just as the role of an amplifier in listening to music is \"central.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eKula is a stereo integrated amplifier with a power output of 2x150W into 8ohm and 2x300W into 4ohm, obviously in Class D with fully balanced circuitry and discrete stages in a \"single ended driven differential\" configuration. Like the Makua, the input programming is matrix-based and the function of the 6 front preset buttons is freely assignable. 3 balanced XLR analog inputs and 3 unbalanced RCA inputs with 2 pairs of Furutech speaker binding posts. The volume is relay-controlled, with simultaneous control of both the internal gain and the output volume.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eKula is fully manageable via the Mola Mola Remote App (iOS and Android) via Bluetooth Low Energy, and the DAC and Phono modules can be added to the unit, both shared with the Makua preamplifier. The Tambaqui-derived DAC adds Bluetooth, AES\/EBU, optical, USB type B, and Ethernet (Room Ready) digital inputs to Kula. The latter two support DSD and DoP 384KHz\/32bit, while optical and AES\/EBU support 192KHz\/24bit.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe preamplifier can be ordered with the DAC already installed, or in the case of a later upgrade, the integrated amplifier must be shipped to the factory. The phono module has two separate stages, MM and MC, with input gain selectable up to 40dB in 5dB steps, and independently selectable resistance and capacitance. All major RIAA equalization curves are configurable, including those at 78rpm, and it is possible to design custom curves with 3 configurable parameters (t1, t2, and bass shelf), and in this case the board can be installed by the customer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTechnical features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Maximum input level: 20 dBu (7.74Vrms)\u003cbr\u003e Input impedance: 100 kohm\u003cbr\u003e Unweighted signal-to-noise ratio: 113 dB\u003cbr\u003e Power: 2X150\/300W on 4\/8 Ω\u003cbr\u003e Output impedance: 2mΩ\/7mΩ (20Hz-20kHz)\u003cbr\u003e Bandwidth: 50kHz at -3dB\u003cbr\u003e Dimensions: 420x110x370mm\u003cbr\u003e Weight: 11Kg.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePhono module\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e MM\/MC Noise: 0.9V\/0.35nV\u003cbr\u003e Sensitivity: 30uV to 5mV\u003cbr\u003e THD Distortion: Not measurable\u003cbr\u003e RIAA compliance: +\/- 0.1dB \u003cbr\u003eTime constants for customizable RIAA curve:\u003cbr\u003e t1: 200, 250, 318, 400, 450us\u003cbr\u003e t2: 50, 64, 75, 100 us\u003cbr\u003e Bass Shelf: 14, 18, 20 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDAC Module\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Supported formats: PCM up to 384kHz\/32 bits (\u0026gt;192kHz and \u0026gt;24 bits via USB and Roon only)\u003cbr\u003e DoP and Native DSD up to quad speed (USB and Roon only)\u003cbr\u003e Output level: 20dBu\u003cbr\u003e Signal to noise ratio: 130dB\u003cbr\u003e THD Distortion: Not measurable (estimated -140dB)\u003cbr\u003e Bandwidth: up to 80 kHz\u003cbr\u003e Internal jitter: \u0026lt;1ps at 10Hz, \u0026lt;300fs from 1kHz onwards\u003cbr\u003e Jitter Rejection: \u0026gt;80dB at 1Hz\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mola Mola","offers":[{"title":"With MM\/MC PHONO Card","offer_id":56257596391748,"sku":"Mola Mola KULA PH USATO","price":8100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/6527\/5040\/files\/IMG_2790.jpg?v=1768814451","url":"https:\/\/stereo-box.it\/en\/products\/mola-mola-kula-amplificatore-integrato-con-scheda-phono-usato","provider":"STEREO BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
