Lake LM Series Operation Manual Rev 1.3.5

In Mesa Mode, a Module can be connected to any of the eight input routers, providing four stages of mute/
connectivity (stage 1,2,4 & 5).

If the required audio signal is not passing correctly, 

verify the connection, mute and gain settings at all 

five stages.

5.3  Lake Processing and Control

As outlined in section 2.2.1, this device integrates seamlessly into the Lake Processing environment, 
providing all features, functionality and connectivity associated with all Lake Processors. The internal Lake 
Processing includes programmable crossovers, EQ, dynamics and other functions, and can be fully con-
trolled via the supplied Lake Controller software. Additionally, many functions can be controlled or accessed 
directly via the front panel.

The Lake Controller Operation Manual and Lake Network Configuration Guide are supplied on the accom-
panying CD-ROM or USB key and additional documentation is available from the Start Menu after software 
installation.

Visit http://lakeprocessing.com to download the latest software, firmware and documentation for your 
devices.

5.4  Modules and Frames 

5.4.1  Overview

A Frame represents one physical Lake Processor (e.g. LM 26 or LM 44). In Contour Mode, a maximum 
of two Modules are contained within each Frame; these are referred to as Module A and Module B. The 
number of Modules shown in a given Frame is also dependent upon the signal processing configuration of 
that Frame. In Mesa Mode each Frame contains four Modules labelled A, B, C & D. 

In Contour Mode, each Module can be configured as a Classic Crossover (Bessel, Butterworth, Linkwitz-
Riley), as a Linear Phase Crossover, or as multiple full bandwidth Auxiliary Outputs. The default configuration 
for the LM 26 is 2 x Classic 3-Way Modules, providing a total of six Module outputs. The default configura-
tion for an LM 44 is four Mesa EQ Modules, providing a total of four Module outputs.

Please refer to the Lake Controller Operation Manual for further information.
