Lake People G103-P MKII

The Lake People Phone-Amp G103P MKII is the smallest and most powerful headphone amplifier with XLR inputs and is manufactured in Germany. Lake People headphone amplifiers are carefully designed to preserve the fidelity and dynamics of your audio signal in its original, unaltered form.

The G103P MKII can look back on a long line of ancestors, starting with the G3 from 1994 and continuing with the G93 from 2005, it has been continuously developed with the aim of making the “entry-level” Lake People headphone amplifier sound better, more powerful and more robust.

Over the years, the headphone amplifier has earned a reputation for its robust design and reliability, and not just among professionals. Hi-fi enthusiasts and multimeida users are also increasingly turning to the device and particularly appreciate its outstanding sound characteristics.

The Lake People G103P MKII contains everything that is still important to us today:

• robust, indestructible amplifiers with high transmission quality
• long-term stable Alps RK14 potentiometers for volume control
• 25 mm volume knob milled from aluminum
• more than adequately dimensioned internal power supply

Inputs & Outputs

Inputs analog Stereo:
-> 1x Neutrik XLR, unbalanced

Headphone Output:
-> 2x TRS 6,3 mm, unbalanced

Too Loud - Too Quiet - The Solution: Lake People PRE-GAIN

5-way adjustable gain for optimum adaptation to all sources and headphones (internal, -6, 0, + 6, +12, +18 dB).

Unlike comparable models, the overall amplification can be adapted to the headphones used via internal jumpers. Thanks to this special Lake People technology, the headphone amplifier can be operated with almost all known headphone impedances from 8 - 600 ohms and is as low-noise and dynamic as possible.

Perfect Headphone Protection

Lake People headphone amplifiers are equipped with various protective circuits to prevent headphone defects. These circuits protect against overvoltages, sudden current peaks or short circuits that could damage sensitive headphones. The integration of such protection mechanisms ensures that the amplifier always supplies the headphones with safe and stable power, which significantly extends their service life..

Housing & elements of the highest quality

The housing of the G103P MKII is made of black anodized aluminium. This promises high mechanical stability and resistance to harsh environmental influences. The high electrical conductivity of the surfaces results in excellent EMC properties..

The thickness of the front panel is 3 mm.

The solid milled 25 mm aluminum rotary knob is characterized by its clear design and forms the center of the Lake People G103P MKII. Thanks to its balanced weight and the Alps RK14 potentiometer, it provides a smooth, high-precision rotary feel for precise volume control.

Switch on and get started

The "POWER"-Switch is located on the front panel. A green LED below the "POWER" switch indicates when the unit is switched on. Two short-circuit-proof transformers generate the internal operating voltages of aprox. +/- 25 V.
