12.1. Signal fl ow
The figure below depicts the audio signal flow for a D Series Lake device. It is worth noting that this sophisticated
device provides seven points in the signal chain where the signal level can be adjusted, muted or disconnected.
Figure 12.1: D Series Lake Signal Flow Diagram
1
The input section (inputs, input router and input mixer) allows for mixing capabilities as well as redundant and
prioritized inputs with automatic switch-over in case of signal failure
2
Up to four Lake Processing modules provide user EQ and loudspeaker processing, including LimiterMax limiting
3
The Output router allows free routing between module outputs and power output channels
4
Each power output channel provides individual channel processing, including ISVPL limiter, RPM and
load monitoring

12.2. Level Adjustments & Mute Points
The following points in the signal flow can adjust level or mute the signal:
1 Input Router Stage Input selection and MUTE
2 Input Mixer Stage Router on /off connection to mixer and gain settings
3 Module Input Stage Mute and gain settings
4 Module Output Stage Mute and gain settings
5 Output Router Stage Output on /off routing connections
6 Attenuation Stage Power output channel mute and attenuation settings
7 Amp Gain Stage Amplifier gain control
NOTE: If the required audio signal is not passing correctly, verify the connection, mute and gain settings
at all seven stages.
