1. Lake People G103-P MKII
Stereo headphone amplifier with balanced inputs. The Lake People Phone-Amp G103-P MKII is a stereo headphone amplifier designed for professional use in studios or on stage. Unlike comparable models, the overall gain can be adjusted via internal jumpers to match the headphones being used. This technology allows the headphone amplifier to operate with nearly all known headphone impedances from 8 to 600 ohms. With its optimized low distortion and low noise circuitry, the Lake People G103-P MKII meets the highest demands. Technical brilliance. Additionally, the G103-P MKII features internal filters that protect connected headphones from overload due to inaudible low and high frequencies. With its compact dimensions, the G103-P MKII offers optimal flexibility while delivering high performance. The design emphasizes operational safety in case of misuse and rough handling. The device is completely short-circuit proof. The housing of the G103-P MKII is made of black anodized aluminum, ensuring high mechanical stability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. The high electrical conductivity of the surfaces results in excellent EMC properties. Power is supplied via a three-pole IEC/CEE socket and a corresponding "cold device" power cable with a Schuko plug. The device is designed for a mains voltage of 230V. The "POWER" switch is located on the front panel, and the powered-on state is indicated by a green LED under the "POWER" switch. Two short-circuit proof transformers generate the internal operating voltages of approximately +/- 25V.
2. Lake People Phone-Amp G108
A true symmetrical headphone amplifier with four power amplifiers and the highest transmission quality. The G108 is optimized for high output voltage, minimal noise, and lowest distortion. With its high internal operating voltages on one hand and low output impedance on the other, along with its internally switchable sevenfold gain, it is ideally suited for driving low to high-impedance dynamic headphones and magnetostats. The signal inputs (XLR and RCA) are switchable. Volume and balance control are managed via high-quality 25 mm full-aluminum knobs on the front. A toggle switch allows for switching between stereo, mono, or phase inversion (left channel). The G108 features an unbalanced headphone output with a 6.3 mm stereo jack, while symmetrical headphones can be connected via a 4-pin XLR. The power supply with a toroidal transformer is provided through the built-in power supply. The housing, front, and back are made of black anodized aluminum. The labeling is laser-engraved.
3. Lake People G105 MKII
Stereo headphone amplifier with balanced inputs and two headphone outputs. Unlike most comparable models, the overall gain can be adjusted to suit the specific needs of different headphones.
Thanks to this technology, the headphone amplifier is capable of driving almost all existing headphones with a load impedance of 16 to 600 ohms with the highest quality. Additionally, the mode switch with its options for Mono, Stereo, and Phase, along with the Split switch, allows for multiple playback variations. With its noise- and THD-optimized circuit layout, the PHONE-AMP G105 MKII meets high quality standards.
4. Lake People Phone-Amp G111 MKII
Stereo headphone amplifier. The PHONE-AMP G111MKII is the successor of the famous G100, which in turn can be considered the forerunner of the HiFi / Hi-End devices from Lake People and Violectric. The G100 was Lake People's first unit to be widely used by both professionals and home users. Professionals praised the sheer indestructibility of the cabinet, private users its unimaginable high sound quality. The PHONE-AMP G111MKII contains everything that is still important to us today. Transistorised amplifiers for the highest transmission quality, full-running Alps RK 27 potentiometer for volume control, oversized power supply with toroidal transformer. Our technical guidelines were also defined here for the first time, which are unique in combination. Lowest noise due to low internal amplification. This means that inherent noise is usually not audible. Highest output voltage due to 60 volts internal operating voltage. Over 90% of all headphone amplifiers on the market have a maximum of half that. Therefore ideally suited for high-impedance headphones. Highest output power due to powerful output stages that can deliver significantly more current than a headphone needs. Therefore ideally suited for low impedance headphones and also for magnetostats. Highest damping factor due to lowest output impedance. Thus best control over critical headphones and the guarantee to provide a linear transmission. Features: High-grade potentiometer Alps RK 27 with optimum synchronisation and lowest crosstalk, discrete output stages with 4 transistors per channel (V100 technology), pre-gain amplification 5-stage adjustable to -12dB / -6dB / 0dB / +6dB / +12dB, unbalanced inputs with priority viavia gold-plated Cinch sockets, balanced inputs via gold-plated XLR sockets, outputs with switch-on delay via relays, LF transmission range 150kHz (-3dB), toroidal transformer and large filter capacities, ultra-compact aluminium housing, channel-separated design.
5. Lake People Phone-Amp G101
The Lake People G101 combines quality, performance, and compact mobility for a wide range of applications in audio, video, and voice production. What sets the G101 apart is its robust construction with precise, variable amplification (including pre-gain as a top feature), suitable for headphones from 8 to 600 ohms, and its connectivity options. With USB-C power supply and options like a 3.5mm jack for in-ear monitoring, the device is ideal for various applications—whether used with a laptop or stationary via RCA connections.
For these applications, we recommend the Lake People G101.
Podcast and voiceover productions: The Lake People G101 facilitates and enhances the precise recording and mixing of voice recordings, where clear and distinct speech reproduction is crucial.
Video production: In audio editing for film and video, detailed and uncolored sound reproduction is essential. The Lake People G101 provides users with precise control over audio tracks, which is particularly important for synchronization or sound design. With its RCA inputs, the G101 is universally applicable.
6. Lake People Phone-Amp G103-D4 Dante
The G103-D headphone amplifier is designed for use in Dante networks. The G103-D4 model features a Dante 4/4 input and two independent stereo amplifiers. With 24-bit/192-kHz D/A converters offering a signal-to-noise ratio of over 105 dB and a distortion factor of only 0.002%, it powers the robust headphone amplifiers. These are best suited for driving headphones with low to high impedance and low or high sensitivity. To adapt the amplifier to demanding headphones, further reduce noise levels, or maximize the volume control range, the gain can be adjusted internally via DIP switches to optimize the amplifier.
4/4 Dante network input via RJ45, powerful amplifiers, 3 switchable internal gains, 1/4" and 3.5 mm headphone jacks, flexible power supply via PoE, USB-B, USB-C.
