Lake Controller Operation Manual Rev 1.5.8

Lake-enabled Ampliﬁer Reference

20.9.1 Number of Cabinets

The number of loudspeaker cabinets connected in parallel to each channel is entered in the No. of Cabinets

in Parallel eld. LoadSmart uses this value for verication purposes. This data may also be entered via the

PLM or PLM+ Series front panel. Please refer to the relevant Operation Manual for further information.

Number of Cabinets are not read from the

SpeakerPreset.

20.9.2 Cable Resistance

The Cable Resistance eld presents the total cable resistance that is congured for each power

output channel. The ngerprint contains a default cable type that is recalled with the le. Tapping the

CABLE RESISTANCE eld opens the Cable Resistance Calculator where the individual cable parameters can

be viewed and edited.

Changes made on the Cable Resistance Calculator are reected in the Cable Resistance eld.

20.9. 2.1 Calculator

The Cable Resistance Calculator provides input elds for cable length, cable gauge, contact resistance and

cable resistivity. The entered data elds give a calculated result for the total loudspeaker cable resistance in

ohms. This value is reected in the TOTAL CABLE RESISTANCE eld for the selected power output channel

in the upper table. The values for a specic cable’s properties (resistivity, gauge, etc.) can be obtained from

the cable manufacturer’s data sheets.

20.9.2.2 Ambient Temperature

The load verication and monitoring system takes ambient temperature into account when checking the

performance of the load. The ambient temperature for the system is entered in the GLOBAL CONTROL tab,

accessed from the ALL view. Please refer to section 20.9 for further details.

The TEMPERATURE setting also affects the

temperature presentation in LOAD RESULTS and

STATUS.

20.9.3 Fingerprint Label

This eld presents the label of a particular ngerprint as it was set when the ngerprint was created.
