Lake People G118

Rack-Mount Headphone Amplifier – Lake People G118

Balanced Operation Amplifier for Professional Audio Applications

The Lake People G118 is a headphone amplifier designed to meet the demands of professional environments and advanced listening setups. Based on the technology of the G111 MKII, it comes housed in a 1U stainless steel rack enclosure, making it suitable for studio installations and permanent audio systems.

Balanced Signal Path and High Output Power

Equipped with balanced XLR inputs and outputs, the G118 ensures low noise and high signal integrity. It provides up to 3 watts per channel, enabling it to drive demanding headphones with ease. This makes it ideal for mixing, mastering, and critical listening tasks.

Control Functions and Circuit Design

The front panel offers dedicated controls for volume, pregain, and crossfeed. The amplifier uses discrete transistors to minimize distortion and maintain the natural character of the audio signal. Its balanced sound profile with low harmonic distortion supports precise monitoring.

Durable Build and Flexible Integration

With a solid metal housing and industrial-grade components, the G118 is built for long-term use. It operates on a 230 V mains power supply and integrates easily into existing systems thanks to its standard connections.
