Flexible monitoring on the road or in the studio
The Lake People G101 combines quality, power and compact mobility for a wide range of applications in audio, video and voice production. With its robust construction and precise, variable amplification (including adjustable PRE-GAIN via the back panel), the G101 is a premium headphone amp suitable for a wide range of headphones - from 8 to 600 ohms.
Connection is made via the line-level RCA inputs, with a secondary 3.5 mm headphone jack for connecting IEMs (in-ear monitors), whilst power is supplied via a USB-C connection.
With nearly 40 years of professional audio design experience, the G101 is built around everything that Lake People deems important to this day:
- Robust, indestructible amplifiers with high transmission quality
- Premium Alps RK14 potentiometers for volume control
- 18 mm volume knob milled from aluminum
- More than adequately dimensioned internal power supply

Too loud? Too quiet? The solution: Lake People PRE-GAIN
The Lake People G101 features a 4-way adjustable gain on its rear panel for perfectly matching to all sources and headphones.
Unlike comparable models, the overall amplification can be adjusted to the headphones used via dip switches. Thanks to this special Lake People technology, the headphone amplifier can be operated with almost all known headphone impedances from 8 - 600 ohms whilst remaining as low-noise and dynamic as possible.
Perfect headphone protection
Lake People headphone amplifiers are equipped with various protective circuits to prevent headphone defects. These circuits protect against overvoltages, sudden current peaks or short circuits that could damage sensitive headphones. The integration of such protection mechanisms ensures that the amplifier always supplies the headphones with safe and stable power, which significantly extends their service life.

Housing and elements of the highest quality
The housing of the G101 is made of black anodized aluminium. This promises high mechanical stability and resistance to harsh environmental influences. The high electrical conductivity of the surfaces results in excellent EMC properties.
The thickness of the front panel is 3 mm. The solid milled 18 mm aluminum rotary knob is characterized by its clear design and forms the center of the Lake People G103S MKII. Thanks to its well-balanced weight and the Alps RK14 potentiometer, it provides a smooth, high-precision rotary feel for precise volume control.
The Lake People G101 is recommended for the following applications:
Podcast and voiceover productions:
The Lake People G101 facilitates and improves the precise recording and mixing of voice recordings that require clear and distinct speech reproduction. The G101 enables speakers and sound professionals to immediately recognize any errors and achieve optimal results faster.
Video production:
When editing audio for film or video, detailed and pristine sound reproduction is crucial. The Lake People G101 offers the user precise control of the audio tracks, which is particularly important for dubbing or sound design. Thanks to its RCA inputs, the G101 can be used with a wide variety of audio sources.
