The sample rates available for AES3 inputs and outputs are 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz; input and
output sample rates can be configured to lock to different sample rates.
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-definition 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 7.3 of the LM Series Operation
Manual. Additional information is available in the Lake Network Configuration 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).
Secondary Connector
The secondary network connector can be used to daisy-chain multiple LM & PLM Series and legacy Dolby
and Lake devices. Alternatively, a Dante dual-network topology can be created by connecting all secondary
network connectors to a separate Ethernet switch, ensuring full redundancy in the event of a network
component failure.
Additional processor configuration is required for a
dual redundant network setup. See the Lake
Controller Operation Manual for further details.
For a technical reference of the Ethernet Port, please refer to section 7.3 of the LM Series Operation
Manual. Additional information is available in the Lake Network Configuration Guide.
When connecting multiple devices to an Ethernet
network, care must be taken NOT to create a
closed loop which causes network malfunction.
