Lake People Headphone-Amp G105 MK II

The Lake People G105 MKII headphone amplifier delivers professional-grade audio quality in a compact and robust design, making it an indispensable tool for recording studios. Developed and manufactured in Germany, this amplifier is engineered to preserve the full fidelity and dynamics of your audio signal. With its precision signal processing, 7-way adjustable gain settings and versatile input/output options, this model is well-suited for tasks ranging from detailed monitoring in the control room to reliable playback in the recording room. Its customizable features, including a split switch for mono signal playback, ensure unmatched control and adaptability for audio engineers and musicians alike.

7-Way Adjustable Gain

The G105 MKII offers a 7-way adjustable gain feature, allowing users to fine-tune amplification to match a wide range of headphone impedances from 8–600 ohms. Internal jumpers provide precise control over gain settings, ranging from -18dB–+18dB, ensuring compatibility with virtually any headphones on the market. This feature minimizes noise and maximizes dynamic range, delivering a clean and distortion-free listening experience. Whether monitoring subtle details in a mix or enjoying high-resolution playback, this level of customization ensures pristine audio quality at all times.

Balance Control for Precise Stereo Imaging

The G105 MKII includes a balance control knob designed to fine-tune the stereo image with precision. In its neutral center position, the stereo signal is passed through unchanged, maintaining identical volume levels in both channels. Adjusting the balance knob to the left reduces the right channel's volume while preserving the left, and vice versa. This feature is particularly useful for compensating for spatial anomalies or personal listening preferences, ensuring optimal stereo imaging and an immersive audio experience tailored to each user's needs.

Mode Switch for Flexible Signal Processing

This headphone amplifier features a versatile mode switch with three positions—Mono, Stereo and Phase—to adapt to different audio tasks. The Mono mode sums the stereo signal for single-channel playback, with the balance knob acting as a mix control. The Phase mode inverts the right channel, creating a widened stereo effect and enabling phase analysis for troubleshooting. In the default Stereo mode, the signal is passed through unchanged. These options make the G105 MKII a powerful tool for detailed audio analysis and creative exploration, enhancing its functionality in professional environments.

Precision Engineering

The G105 MKII is built with durability and performance in mind, featuring a solid aluminum chassis and long-lasting Alps RK14 and RK11 potentiometers. The 25 mm volume and balance knobs are milled from aluminum for a premium feel and precise control. A generously dimensioned internal power supply ensures consistent performance without external interference. These high-quality components and meticulous craftsmanship make this amplifier a reliable addition to any studio setup, capable of delivering consistent results over years of intensive use.
