Lake People G101 provides excellent headphone amplification in a compact format
Lake People introduces the new headphone amp HPA G101. The compact model enhances the product range with an entry-level device, upholding the typical Lake People qualities: the G101 offers neutral, low-noise amplification with outstanding voltage and power reserves to drive even the most demanding headphones easily. The famous Pre-Gain function allows for operating entirely different types of headphones and perfectly tailoring the amplifier to the headphones of choice. Input signals are fed into the G101 through RCA connectors, the outputs are realized as 6.3-mm and 3.5-mm jacks. The volume is controlled through a high-quality Alps pot.
G101: gateway to the world of Lake People
Lake People is famous for its excellent audio tools, especially headphone amplifiers. For many years, the G series has pleased the ears of both audio professionals and audiophiles. The G101 creates a new, even more attractive entry level to the Lake People product world. The compact amp contains the essence of high-quality headphone amplification “made in Germany”, underlining the particular strengths of Lake People: clever technology, outstanding sound, highest quality.
Reliable top-quality amplification
The Lake People HPA G101 is based on the G103, which itself can be traced all the way back to the G3 from 1994. The technology is accordingly well-developed: minimal noise, high power and voltage at the outputs, and great attenuation factor ensure impeccable sound. The robust amplifiers are practically indestructible and reliably play along in any professional environment, while the outstanding sound quality excites home audio enthusiasts. The solid aluminium housing protects the electronics from mechanical interference – making sure the Lake People G101 can do its job for a long time.
Intricate circuitry with Pre-Gain
One special feature of the Lake People headphone amplifiers is the Pre-Gain circuitry, which also enhances the versatility of the G101. Different headphone types have different requirements regarding the amplification and interact differently with the circuit. Through Pre-Gain, the G101 can be tailored perfectly to the connected headphones. The amplification is modified by -6 dB, 0 dB, +6 dB or +12 dB before the actual volume control, so circuitry and potentiometer can work optimally. This also results in an ideal travel of the volume pot independent of the headphone’s sensitivity. The Lake People G101 allows every set of headphones to perform at its best.
Compact and flawlessly manufactured
The Lake People G101 packs its qualities into a particularly compact format. The black anodized aluminium housing measures only 108 x 125 x 41 mm. On the front, the volume knob for the long-lasting Alps potentiometer is next to a 6.3-mm and a 3.5-mm jack output, the power switch and the activity LED. On the back, the G101 features the RCA inputs, the USB-C power input and the switches for Pre-Gain. Like all Lake People products, the G101 is built by hand in the company’s own workshop in Germany – which clearly shows in the manufacturing quality.
