G103-D4
Dante stereo headphone amplifier
The G103-D headphone amplifier is designed for use in Dante networks. The G103-D4 model features a Dante 4/4 input and two independent stereo amplifiers. 24-bit/192 kHz D/A converters with a signal-to-noise ratio of >105 dB and a total harmonic distortion of only These are best suited for driving headphones with low to high impedance and low or high sensitivity. To match the amplifier to more demanding headphones, further reduce noise, or maximize the control range of the volume control, the gain can be adjusted internally via DIP switches to optimize the amplifier.
The Amplifier: G103
The Lake People G103-D-4 is based on the G103 with all its strengths:
- Perfect stereo reproduction
- High gain
- Preamplification to match volume to preferred headphones
- Extremely low distortion and noise
- Compact dimensions
- Internal safety features to protect the unit, connected headphones and listener
- Very rugged construction
- Optional brackets allow installation under desks and on microphone stands
The Connection: DANTE
Audinate's versatile DANTE networking technology is widely used in countless systems. However, an easy and affordable way to connect headphones at different points in these systems is still very rare.
The Lake People G103-D-4 offers:
- Easy integration with existing networks
- Two independent stereo mixes per unit
- High-quality D/A conversion in addition to the qualities of the G103's analog circuitry
The Headphone Amplifier Cookbook
WHY USE A HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER AT ALL? Isn't it true that headphones are just small speakers, and therefore only need a small amplifier, if any? A headphone amplifier is a device that processes an audio signal in order to adapt it to the special characteristics of headphones? At first glance, this doesn't sound very exciting and can be done with little effort. However, as with almost everything, the devil is in the details and it takes some effort to have an amplifier for all headphones, if possible.
