Introduction to Lake People

Established in 1986, we have since become your partner for professional audio electronics. Following our motto “tools - not toys”, we achieved highest reputation during the past years amongst our customers. These are private studios, broadcasters and TV companies. Also airports, congress and exhibition centres count on the reliability of our products made in Germany. This all began under the roof of Rosgartenstrasse 13 in the city of Konstanz. Here, three young guys started with the development and manufacture of limiters and noise gates but not too successfully in the beginning. The commercial survival on a very low level was made possible by the production of headphone amplifiers. From 1989 on, the production range was extended to level matching and balancing amplifiers such successfully, that it came essential to move to larger premises.

Since 1991, the new address read: Haidelmoosweg 52. Due to the developement of the first german 20-bit A/D and D/A converters in the beginning nineties, the name Lake People resounded throughout the land. Suddenly, the company was regarded as a high-tech brand, with a highly positive effect on its public reputation. The growing know-how led to many new products in the analog and digital domain during the following years. Although some projects turned out to be flops, most devices met the customers' requirements, with the effect of continuous growth of the company. By the end of the nineties the 140 m² of Haidelmoosweg 52 went cramping.
Again, a move to new premises came necessary. As it was obvious that rental facilities would not meet the demands, we decided to put up our own building. The company site was constructed in 2000 in a new industrial park in Konstanz, Turmstrasse 7a, just a hundred metres from the lake. Also in 2000, Lake People was transformed into a Ltd. company.

Andrea SANDRE

Fino a poco tempo fa erp un pò scettico sugli amplificatori dedicati all'ascolto in cuffia.
Dopo l'acquisto del Violectric HPA V202 mi sono rcreduto.
L'ho ho da più di un mese, l'ho provato con sorgenti e dischi di ogni genere musicale, con registrazioni di qualità e con registrazioni non eccellenti.
In tutte le situazioni, partendo da un modello di cuffia che posso definire BASIC (Beyerdynamic DT880) il risultato di ascolto è superiore all'ascolto in cuffia attraverso l'uscita Cuffie dell'amplificatore integrato.

Penso che facendo un upgrade della cuffia, ovvero andando su qualche modello di range superiore a quelle che ho attualmente complessivamente non puà che migliorare.

Ho notato un miglioramento della scena sonora, del dettaglio ed un equilibrio generale del suono. Non vi è enfatizzazione dei bassi, degli alti, ma l'amplificatore riproduce esattamente ciò che è la qualità del disco e le sfumature dello stesso, questo ovviamente nel bene e nel male. Questa caratteristica è per quanto mi riguarda da premiare

Altro plus (che però al momento non ho sentito la necessità di utilizzare), ma che ho provato per valutarne l'effetto è la possibilità di incrementare o decrementare la potenza (gain) di uscita sul volume di ascolto da -18 db a + 18 db. E' un range ampissimo in grado di soddisfare qualsiasi tipologia di cuffie e/o qualità delle registrazioni

Ringrazio inoltre lo staff di Play Stereo che mi ha aiutato e consigliato in fase di acquisto rispondendo ad alcune domande e quesiti da me posti sul prodotto.

Lo consiglio, in particolare a chi per ragioni di ambiente è predisposto maggiormn
