Lake People G109 Headphone Amplifier
Amplified Performance
The Lake People G109 headphone amplifier has what it takes to push your audiophile headphones to their very best. Equipped with two ¼” headphone connections on the front panel, this standalone headphone amplifier makes it easy for you to share your music with a friend or conduct a quick A/B test against your newest headphone purchase.
Note: At checkout you will have the option to choose between the G109-S (unbalanced gold-plated RCA inputs) and the G109-P (unbalanced RCAs and balanced XLR inputs) (+$50).
Build Features
The G109 sports an internal power supply that feeds an upgraded toroidal power transformer with large filtering capacitors to help keep unwanted noise from entering into the signal path. To insure good channel balance and low crosstalk, this totally discrete amplifier design features an outstanding Alps volume control pot located inside the sleek black anodized aluminum casing.

Power Supplied
Not every portable player and default computer headphone jack has what it takes to fully complement audiophile headphones. The Lake People G109 can take your favorite pair of cans to the next level with more power and shove to improve dynamics, bass impact and overall fidelity than the noisy environments where internal amplification typically takes place. To ensure the best performance with the widest range of headphones, this standalone amplifier also allows for gain switching in three steps.
