Lake People G111 MKII
Stereo headphone amplifier
Excellent sound for studio and living room
With the G111 MKII, Lake People addresses the need of professional and private audio enthusiasts for a powerful, versatile and compact headphone amplifier. The clean and unadulterated playback through the amplifier circuit puts audio professionals in a position to assess and evaluate their material, which leads to quicker and better decisions. Private users benefit from the sheer sonic quality of the G111 MKII, resulting in an uncompromised music experience. The subjective sound impression has its roots in objective data: a linear frequency response from 5 Hz to 60 kHz (with 0.5 dB tolerance) and 129 dB dynamic range.
Ready for any headphone type
Different types of headphones require different qualities from the amplifier that drives them. Due to its special circuitry, the Lake People G111 MKII can drive any type of headphones. It works with an unusually high internal operating voltage of 60 volts, enabling it to easily drive high-impedance headphones, while at the same time, the discreet power amplifiers offer plenty of output to feed low-impedance headphones and even planar magnetic drivers. The unique Pre Gain feature can adjust output levels in seven steps to adapt the amplifier to the headphones. Audiophiles and demanding professionals can freely choose their preferred set of headphones, and a later change of mind does not necessitate a change of amplifier.
High-quality craftsmanship and materials
Lake People is known for its high-quality products, and the G111 MKII continues this tradition. The main controller is an Alps RK 27 potentiometer, setting the volume with a comfortable feel. The oversized power supply with toroidal transformer ensures clean, low-distortion playback. The balanced XLR connectors and the unbalanced RCA connectors are gold-plated. The newly designed aluminium front panel features the power switch and the aforementioned volume control plus the two 1⁄4 inch headphone jacks to drive two headphones simultaneously.
Lake People PRE-GAIN
7-way adjustable gain for optimum adaptation to all sources and headphones (internal, -18, -12, -6, 0, +6, +12, +18 dB).
Unlike other headphone amplifiers, the overall gain can be adjusted to suit the headphones being used by means of jumpers on the rear panel. Thanks to this unique Lake People technology, the headphone amplifier can be used with almost all known headphone impedances from 8 to 600 ohms, and is as low-noise and dynamic as possible.
Perfect protection for your headphones
Lake People headphone amplifiers are equipped with several protection circuits to prevent headphone failure. These circuits protect against overvoltage, sudden current spikes or short circuits that could damage sensitive headphones. By incorporating these protections, the amplifier ensures that the headphones always receive a safe and stable supply of power, significantly extending the life of the headphones.
