6.3 Integrated Lake Processing
As outlined in Section 4, PLM Series products contain a fully integrated Lake loudspeaker management
system, providing many of the features available as standard in well-known Dolby Lake Processor (DLP)
stand-alone unit. The Lake system within the PLM provides fully-programmable crossovers, EQ, dynamics
and other functions, and is controlled via the supplied Lake Controller software. (See section 6.3.1.) Addition-
ally, some functions of the Lake
system can be accessed from the PLM’s front panel screen.
Setting up the integral Lake system via the Lake Controller software includes selecting the basic PLM
configuration, including input mixers, input format (analog or digital, etc.), crossover configuration and output
routing. A full description of how the lake Controller software is used with the PLM is contained in the
separate documents: The Dolby Lake Controller User Manual and the Lake Controller User Manual PLM
Addendum.
Also see the accompanying PLM Series Network Configuration Guide for details of how to connect one or
more PLMs to a PC via the Dante digital audio network.
6.3.1 Lake Controller software
The CD-ROM supplied with the PLM contains the Lake Controller software package. This should be
installed on any PC(s) that are to be used to control and monitor the PLM(s). In a touring situation where
multiple networked PLMs are involved, this will generally be a tablet PC.
