Lake People Phone-Amp 109-S

The G109-S was developped with the target to enable highest transmission quality for low- , medium- and high-impedance headphones. Due to its specific, variable, low-noise and low-distortion circuit design especially optimised for dynamic headphones, the G109-S fulfils even most sophisticated demands. LOW-NOISE (-101 dBu A-wtd) because of low internal gain. Therefore the self generated noise from the amplifer is not audible. HIGH OUTPUT VOLTAGE (aprox. 19 V eff into 600 Ohms load) through 60 Volt internal operating voltage. Therefore best suited for high impedance headphones. Over 90 % of all headphone amplifiers in the market offer not half that voltage !! HIGH OUTPUT POWER (approx 2000 mW into 60 Ohms load) because of powerful amplifiers able to deliver much more current a headphone needs. Therefore best suited for low impedance headphones and even magnetostatic cans !! HIGH DAMPING FACTOR ( >250 relative to a 50 ohms load) through lowest output impedance. Therefore best suited for full control even over critical headphones with the garantee to have flatest possible response.
