Missed Deliveries

If you are not in to receive the order at the time delivery is attempted, a card will normally be left to notify you of the missed delivery attempt. This will allow you to either telephone the courier company to arrange a re-delivery at a more convenient time or collect it from your local courier depot or Royal Mail sorting office. For security reasons, all items require a signature.

If for any reason the item is returned to us (e.g. incorrect address specified, multiple failed delivery attempts), then we will inform you immediately by email as soon as we receive the item. From this point forth, you will be given a choice whether you wish us to re-dispatch the item or cancel the order. Please refer to our Cancellations & 14 Day Returns Procedure for more details. For items where delivery failed through no fault of Synthax Audio (UK), you will be liable for the original shipping charge, any courier surcharges and any subsequent delivery charges.

 

Late Deliveries or Dispatch

We are able to ship almost every order in the specified timescale. However, in very rare circumstances there can be an unforeseen delay. If this does happen, we will make it our priority to get your order dispatched from our warehouse as soon as reasonably possible.

There are also rare cases, beyond our control, when the delivery company itself has a problem which causes a delay in transit. In these situations we will do our utmost to liaise with the relevant delivery company to ensure delivery is completed as swiftly as possible.

Consequential Loss for Late Deliveries

If a delivery is late, then we will provide a refund of any delivery fee that we charged you. We do not provide financial compensation to cover consequential losses, e.g. for time taken off work to receive a delivery, or if the item is intended as a gift and you have to purchase the same item from a more expensive retailer.

Description

Lake People PHONE-AMP G118

The Lake People PHONE-AMP G118 is a balanced headphone amplifier based on the circuits of the approved and valued PHONE-AMP G111 but in a 19", 1U case. Besides the outstanding reproduction qualities G118 offers a Mono / Stereo / Phase-Reverse switching, Pre-Gain on the front panel, X-FEED and a VU-Meter for level control.

The connectors on the back (stereo):
- Two balanced input pairs (Input 1 and 2) via gold plated XLR sockets
- One Slave output, balanced via gold plated XLR. The active input signal is passed through without attenuation.

The inputs are selected by a toggle switch, the active input is displayed by a LED. Volume is controlled by a high-quality Alps RK27 potentiometer with 41-detent for precise settings. The 25 mm knob is made of solid aluminium. The MODE switch allows the source to be reproduces in MONO, STEREO or with the right channel phase reversed.

Because of the unique Pre-Gain function on the front panel virtually any headphone is perfectly adaptable. The Pre-Gain function offers six positions from -18 to +12 dB in steps of 6 dB. The X-Feed function serves to reduce the In-Head-Localization which is often found to be annoying when listening with headphones.

X-Feed is activated by a switch and continuously variable with reasonable amounts. The active state is displayed by a LED. The Illumination trim is accessible with a small screwdriver and serves to adjust the brightness of the LEDs and the VU meters to the environment.

Special attention was paid to the headphone amps inside PHONE-AMP G118. They consist in principle of two Lake People G111 amps, and are able to supply balanced headphones 'as it should' due to the four power stages. The transistorized amplifiers provide highest transmission quality and grant all what is essential for us concerning headphone amplifiers:

Lowest Noise

Thanks to the G118's low internal gain, the self-generated noise from the G118's amplifier is inaudible.

Highest Output Voltage

The G118 operates with a 50 Volt internal operating voltage - over 90% of all headphone amplifiers on the market do not offer half that voltage! Therefore, the G118 is the perfect choice for high impedance headphones.

Highest Output Power

Thanks to the powerful amplifiers, the G118 is able to deliver much more current than a headphone needs. Therefore, the G118 is equally suited to low impedance headphones, and even
planar magnetic cans!

High Damping Factor

Lowest output impedance means the G118 is also perfect for full control over the most critical of headphones, guaranteeing the flattest possible response.

Front panel VU meters

Illuminated VU meters show the level of the input signals, with adjustable input sensitivity via the back panel (from 0 dBu up to +20 dBu).

Standard and Balanced Connections

The 1/4" (6.3 mm) headphone outputs provide a connection for "standard" headphones, while a 4-pin XLR output supports the connection of balanced headphones, taking advantage of the full potential of the G118 amplifier's four power stages.
