Building upon the success of the G105 and the technology of the V100, the G105 MKII Headphone Amplifier from Lake People delivers wide ranging headphone support and incredibly low noise thanks to its THD-optimized circuitry and oversized 60V internal operating voltage that can drive nearly any headphone technology from 16 to 600 ohms, including demanding designs, such as planar and magnetostatic types. With three output modes: mono, stereo, and phase reproduction, you can achieve any variation of audio amplification you could need, and an internal five-stage pre-gain selection provides further control over your listening experience, helping to avoid unwanted overdrive of your headphones.
The G105 MKII sports two balanced, gold-plated XLR inputs, two unbalanced, gold-plated RCA inputs, and two 1/4" headphone outputs with a split function for simultaneous use. Built to last in Germany to exacting standards, this amp features high-grade Alps RK 27 25mm aluminum pots for volume and balance control, a compact yet rugged aluminum chassis, and top-quality electronics, including discrete, four transistor per channel amp circuitry, a toroidal transformer, and large, smooth capacitors to ensure the flattest possible frequency response.
