This section describes installation of the Lake Controller software, input and output connections, basic functionality,
and setup instructions. The information provides a basic level of understanding of the system architecture along
with configuration instructions for a basic system application. The tutorial in section 6.4 provides a step-by-
step example for configuring this device for use with a generic professional sound system. Please refer to the
documentation listed in section 2.3, which provides detailed information on all features and functionality.
12.2 Lake Processing and Control
The 20000DP contains an integrated Lake loudspeaker management system, providing crossovers, EQ, dynamics
and other functions. Primary control is via the supplied Lake Controller software, although many functions can
be accessed via the front panel interface. The Lake Controller software allows all parameters to be configured,
controlled and monitored; please refer to the Lake Controller Operation Manual for further details. The Lake Network
Configuration Guide provides information regarding connection of one or more Lake Processors to a PC via an
Ethernet network.
12.3 Installing the Lake Controller Software
12.3.1 Overview
The supplied memory stick contains the Lake Controller software package. This should be installed on any PCs
that will be used to control and monitor the Lake Processor network. In a situation where multiple networked Lake
Processors are involved, this will generally be a Tablet PC.
The minimum recommended computer specifications are:

• 512 MB RAM or greater
• 128 MB video RAM or greater
• Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7

When using large Lake processor systems it is recommended that a computer exceeding the minimum
specifications is used. If you are unsure about installing PC software, please contact an IT specialist.
12.3.2 Software Installation
The Lake Controller software is installed by allowing the auto-setup routine to run. Select INSTALL then LAKE
