Building upon the success of the G105 while adding the advantages of balanced headphones, the G108 Headphone Amplifier from Lake People delivers wide ranging headphone support and incredibly low noise thanks to its true balanced amplifier with four power stages and 10 VA toroidal transformer 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 (left channel only), you can achieve any variation of audio amplification you could need, and an internal five-stage pre-gain selection (±18 dB) provides further control over your listening experience, helping to avoid unwanted overdrive of your headphones.
The G108 sports two balanced, gold-plated XLR inputs, two unbalanced, gold-plated RCA inputs, a 1/4 headphone output, and a fully balanced, XLR 4-pin headphone output. Built to last in Germany to exacting standards, this amp features high-grade Alps RK 27 1 aluminum pots for volume and balance control, a compact yet rugged aluminum chassis, and top-quality electronics to ensure the flattest possible frequency response.
High-Grade Electronics
The G108 is built with uncompromising electronic components for the lowest possible internal noise and the widest possible support of headphones. High internal voltages, high damping factors, and very-high output power allow this compact amp to meet nearly any demands.
