6.3.2 LoadLibrary

™

and Fingerprints

In addition to the standard loudspeaker presets (Module les), the Lake Controller also includes a set of

enhanced Module les specically for use with the PLM Series.

These supplementary PLM Module les, known as the LoadLibrary incorporate both Lake DSP parameters

along with PLM specic data; LoadLibrary Module les include parameter settings for the PLM’s Amplier

Gain and ISVPL limiter. Additionally, LoadLibrary loudspeaker types may also include data relating to the

electrical characteristics of a particular loudspeaker.

Electrical characteristic data is used to enable load verication (LoadSmart) and monitoring facilities

(SpeakerSafe) to be performed on the PLM. This data set is termed a Fingerprint. When a PLM-specic

loudspeaker type is loaded, its Fingerprint load characteristics are included. These load characteristics are

stored in a le with a “.mdl” sufx and are loaded simultaneously with the module le.

LoadLibrary Modules and standard Module les are cross-compatible, although when a LoadLibrary Module

is loaded into a legacy Lake product the extra data within it is ignored.

6.3.3 Super Modules

Super Modules allow control of multiple Modules of the same type, distributed across multiple Frames, as

a single entity within the Lake Controller software. A change made in the Super Module is replicated across

all assigned Modules, resulting in improved efciency in system conguration and a reduction of on-screen

icons within the Lake Controller software.

The key benet of this feature is the ability to connect and control crossovers, levels and EQ across multiple

hardware devices simultaneously from the Lake Controller. For example, one device may be driving sub and

low-frequency speakers, while another device controls mid-range and hi-frequency drivers. Using a single

adjustment the crossover points between the two devices can be changed simultaneously.

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

6.4 Loudspeaker Crossover Conguration Overview

The Lake Processing system within PLM Series devices may be congured with up to two inputs and up

to six Module outputs, although the number of power outputs will be either two or four depending on the

PLM model being used. To make use of the extra processing channels, multiple hardware devices may be

connected together using the Super Module feature as summarized in section 6.3.3.

Each set of processing elements is referred to as a Module and can be congured as crossovers, full-

bandwidth auxiliary outputs, or a combination of the two. The relationship between inputs and outputs is

dened via the Lake Controller or via the front panel Input Cong Menu.
