Lake Controller Operation Manual Rev 1.5.9

Welcome

1. Welcome

1.1 Important Information

In January 2009, Lab.gruppen acquired from Dolby Laboratories, Inc. both the Lake trademarks and the

exclusive rights for use of Dolby

Lake

Processor technology for both touring and permanent sound

reinforcement markets. Lab.gruppen is now developing the Lake Processing technology and the Controller

software independently for these markets. The Lab.gruppen-developed Controller software version will be

forthwith named Lake Controller software.

1.2 Introduction

The Lake Controller software provides a unied interface for the Lab.gruppen PLM

™

Series, PLM+

Series,

D Series, Lake LM Series and the MY8-LAKE (Yamaha Mini-YGDAI). Optimized for a wireless touch-screen

or Tablet PC, the Controller uses a unique Graphic interface that brings back the feel of analog faders

and controls. The software operates on any Microsoft

Windows

PC with a standard Ethernet network

interface.

The Lake Controller may also be accessed via media tablet devices such as the Apple

iPad

™

by using

remote desktop connectivity software that requires additional conguration. For further details on congur-

ing the Lake Controller for use via a media tablet, please refer to the Product Documentation category of the

support section at http://lakeprocessing.com.

This manual describes the functionality of the Lake Controller software suite, including the main

Lake Controller component, along with associated Firmware Update Utilities and Preset Manager Utilities.

For a full understanding of the Lake Controller System, use this manual together with associated hardware

operation manuals, audio networking information and quick reference guides that are provided in the docu-

mentation folder of your software installation.

Note that the Lake Controller software has all necessary functionality to control the Lake LM Series devices,

Lab.gruppen PLM, PLM+ and D Series devices and the MY8-LAKE (Yamaha Mini-YGDAI). Support for

legacy devices including the Dolby Lake Processor

™

,Contour Pro 26

™

and Mesa Quad EQ

™

discontinued in

Lake Controller v6.x; for control of these devices please use Lake Controller v5.x.

Throughout this manual, the generic term ‘device’ will be used to describe any hardware product containing

Lake Processing technology.
