This is the official thread for the Lake People G105 Headphone Amp
This thread is for discussion and reviews.
- 2 6.3mm Headphone Outputs for Simultaneous Use
- Balanced XLR Input Only:
- Readily Available in EU
This amplifier has the feature of being able to act as two mono amps.
So for a interview style podcast or two-person-band, you need just one of these for both people to monitor themself.
The only other amplifier I know with a feature like that is the Palmer PHDA 02. I have no experience with either of them.
When used in the LL/RR mode (not stereo), would that be what I consider a “balanced” output? E.g. could I make myself a cable with 2x6.3mm plugs for right +/-, left +/- on the one end and a 4 pin mini XLR on the other to drive a balanced headphone?
How is the sound compared to e.g. the G103-S or an Asgard 3?
Thanks, Chripo
In dual-mono operation, it is just that, two mono outputs.
For mono into headphones, it might sound weird to have one ear phase inversed to the other.
Note: IIRC the Vioelectric amps give you balanced in the middle and then same signal as two separate TRS jacks.
Only for the V281 (at least in the V2__ line, I suppose it might be different on the newer lines) and only when the jumpers are set that way (not default)
The jumpers change how the balanced is put out on the TRS jacks. They will output “balanced” all the time.
