Binding Posts
In this version, the power outputs for loudspeaker connection are available on four separate pairs of fully
enclosed binding posts. Bridge Mode can be enabled via the Lake Controller software, please refer to the
Lake Controller Operation Manual for further information.
Channel configuration for the binding posts is dependent on the PLM model, please refer to section of the
PLM Operation Manual for standard and Bridge Mode wiring.
speakON Connectors
The speakON connector configuration differs on 2-channel and 4-channel PLM models.
On 4-channel models, the power outputs are simultaneously available on a single 8-pole speakON connec-
tor, 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.
Bridge Mode can be enabled via the Lake Controller software, please refer to the Lake Controller Opera-
tion Manual and to the PLM Operation Manual for further details on standard and Bridge Mode wiring for
speakON connectors.
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-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 PLM Series Operation
Manual. Additional information is also available in the Lake Network Configuration Guide.
