10.2.1 Connectors
10.2.1.1 Analog Inputs
Analog inputs are available on two standard XLR3F latching connectors. The inputs are electronically balanced and
feature Lake Iso-Float circuitry. The impedance is 20 kohms, and the inputs can accept a maximum input level of +26
dBu.
10.2.1.2 Analog Links
Two latching XLR3M connectors are fitted adjacent to the analog input connectors. These are paralleled to the input
connectors to provide an unprocessed analog loop-through to feed additional amplifiers, or other equipment.
10.2.1.3 AES3 Input
A latching XLR3F connector is provided which accepts an AES3 digital audio signal. Input impedance is 110 ohms,
please ensure that 110 ohm digital audio cables are used; standard XLR microphone cables are rarely suitable for
reliable digital audio transmission.
AES3 is a stereo digital format, and therefore both
PLM inputs are fed via a single connector. Selection of
the analog or digital inputs is made via the front panel
display or control software.
10.2.1.4 AES3 Link
A latching XLR3M connector is fitted adjacent to the AES3 input connector. This is paralleled to the input connector
to provide an unprocessed AES3 loop-thru to feed further amplifiers, or other equipment. An AES3 110 ohm
termination load is enabled by default when the amplifier is the last unit connected within an AES3 daisy-chained
system. The termination may be disabled, if desired, via the front panel menu and within the Lake Controller
software.
10.2.1.5 SpeakON Connectors
The 20000DP is provided with Neutrik speakON® power output connectors, and allows for Bridge Mode operation
which is activated from the Lake Controller software. Please refer to the Lake Controller Operation Manual and the
20000DP Operation Manual for further information on Bridge Mode.
The power outputs are simultaneously available on a single 8-pole speakON connector, and on two 4-pole speakON
connectors. The two 4-pole connectors carry the outputs of channels 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 respectively.
Bridge Mode can be enabled via the Lake Controller software, please refer to the Lake Controller Operation Manual
and to section 8.1.2 of this Operation Manual for further details on standard and Bridge Mode wiring for speakON
connectors.
10.2.1.6 Primary Network Connector
The primary Neutrik RJ45 etherCON® con
nection provides integration into an Ethernet control network which
may include other Lake Processors and the Lake Controller software. Network connection permits full control of all
functions along with real-time metering from a remote position. This device supports the Dante audio networking
protocol, which allows transmission of multichannel, high-definition digital audio over the same Ethernet
connection.
