Headphone amplifier

The G111 MKII is the successor to the famous Lake People G100 which can be considered the ancestor of the HiFi and Hi-End units from Lake People and Violectric. The Phone-Amp G100 was Lake People's first product widely used by audio engineers and audiophiles. Pros loved its indestructible construction, while hi-fi fans praised its sonic fidelity.

The G111 MKII takes everything we loved about its ancestor

• transistorized amplifiers for impeccable transmission quality
• an RK 27 potentiometer for volume control
• an oversized power supply with toroidal transformer

The G111 improvements include:

• Lower noise . Thanks to a lower internal gain, the noise generated by the amplifier is not audible.
• Higher output voltage via internal operating voltage of 60 volts. More than 90% of headphone amplifiers on the market do not offer half this voltage!! It is therefore better suited to high impedance headphones.
• Higher output power thanks to powerful amplifiers capable of delivering much more current than headphones need. Ideal for low impedance headphones and even large magnetostatic / planagarmagnetic headphones (Audeze, Hifiman, etc.)
  
• Higher damping factor due to lower output impedance. It is therefore ideal for having a well-controlled bass, even on demanding helmets. And this with the guarantee of the flattest possible frequency response.
