Lake People G101 – Headphone Amplifier for Studio and Mobile Production

The Lake People G101 is a headphone amplifier designed for flexible use in audio, video, and voice production. Its compact aluminum housing combines durability with broad compatibility – suitable for both mobile setups and stationary environments.

For Flexible Audio Monitoring

The G101 features four-step adjustable gain (PRE-GAIN), allowing fine-tuned adaptation to different headphones and audio sources. The gain can be set using internal jumpers on the rear panel, enabling operation with headphone impedances from 8 to 600 ohms. This makes the unit suitable for everything from low-impedance in-ear monitors to more demanding studio headphones.

Built for Long-Term Use

The volume control is based on the Alps RK14 potentiometer and operated via a solid 18 mm milled aluminum knob. The amplifier includes protective circuitry against overvoltage, current spikes, and short circuits – helping to preserve connected headphones over time.

Connectivity and Power Supply

The G101 is powered via USB-C (power supply not included) and offers both 6.3 mm and 3.5 mm headphone outputs. Input is provided via unbalanced stereo RCA. The design delivers low noise, high dynamic range, and strong channel separation.

Applications

G101 is well-suited for podcasting, voiceover, video editing, and sound design. Its clear and detailed sound reproduction makes it easier to detect nuances, whether on location or in the studio.
