Product Overview
PLM Series Operation Manual rev 1.1.9
Please email plmsupport@labgruppen.com for further information on bridge-mode operation.
Binding Posts
In this version, the power outputs for loudspeaker connection are available on four separate pairs of fully
enclosed binding posts. (Channel conguration is model dependent)
Speakon Connectors
The Speakon connector conguration differs on two-channel and four-channel PLM models.
On 4-channel models, 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. On 2-channel PLM models the two power output channels are available simultaneously
on two 4-pole Speakon connectors. Both connectors carry both channels. The second connector offers the
channels in reverse order.
4.2.3 Ethernet and Power Connectors
Primary Network Connector
The primary Neutrik RJ45 etherCON
®
connection 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-denition digital audio over the
same Ethernet connection.
Use the primary connector when using a star network topology, consisting of individual Cat-5e connections
between the devices and an Ethernet switch. Alternatively this connection can be used to daisy chain
directly to another Lake Processor. The daisy chain topology should not be used with Dante.
For a technical reference of the Ethernet Port, please refer to section 8.4. Additional information is available
in the Lake Network Conguration Guide.
The Ethernet ports automatically switch to operate at Ethernet data
rates of 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps, and allow straight or crossed
network cables. Two LEDs above each port indicate valid network
connection (LINK) and network activity (ACT).
