6.6. Files and Presets

The Lake system provides various methods for storing and recalling Module, Frame, or system-wide data. An
overview is provided below; for further information please refer to the Lake Controller Operation Manual.
6.6.1. Module, System and Sub-System Configuration Files
Module, System and Sub-System Configuration files are stored on the Lake Controller PC, and data is passed
across the network when recalling or storing these type of files.
• A Module file is the smallest set of data that can be stored and recalled; it contains crossover, gain, delay, and
limiter information for an individual loudspeaker (see Figure 6.1).
A Module file may be recalled into other Lake devices. It is not possible to store a Module File directly on
the hardware device.
• A System or Sub-System Configuration File contains a set of Module file information in addition to Frame
related information such Group data and I/O configuration (see Figure 6.1).
6.6.2. Frame and System Presets
The entire processor configuration can be stored as a Frame Preset on this hardware device. Presets can be
recalled via the front panel (refer to section 7.11.7) or via the Lake Controller software or Preset Manager utility;
presets can be stored using the Lake Controller software or Preset Manager utility.
A maximum of 100 Frame Presets can be stored on this device. The data within a Frame Preset includes the
configurations of all Modules in the Frame, including levels, crossover, EQ, input mixer, routing, and all other
parameters. As Frame Presets are stored in the hardware device, recall is available without using a PC.
Using the System Presets function in the Lake Controller, entire system configurations can be stored and recalled
across a network of LM, PLM and PLM+ Series devices. This enables fast retrieval and switching of entire system
configurations as minimal data is being sent between the Controller and Processors.
