D Series Lake amplifiers are designed for configuration and operation using the Lake Controller and CAFÉ software programs. This manual includes a brief tutorial on how to put an amplifier into service using Lake Controller, and it also includes an overview of some features that are implemented via CAFÉ.
6.2. Mounting D Series is made for mounting in 19 inch racks. Four screw holes are available for attachment of the amplifier to the racks front rack rail. This device has no top or bottom vents; therefore, units may be stacked directly on top of one another.
Never attempt to reverse the airflow. Make sure an adequate air supply is provided in front of the D Series device, and that the rear of the device has sufficient space to allow air to escape.
6.4.1. Low voltage country considerations Although the D Series has a wide range of operating mains voltage, some considerations can be applicable for low voltage regions. D Series performs well throughout the specified nominal voltage range but has slightly better efficiency at higher voltages.

The standard form factor D Series units (D200, D120 and D80) uses Lab.gruppen’s patented Class TD purity of Class A/B designs. The slimline D Series units (D40, D20 and D10) uses a newly developed Class D perfectly under all load conditions and the output maintains it with very low nominal impedances.

Rational Power Management™ (RPM) is a unique Lab.gruppen feature that allows for flexible allocation of power across channels of a D Series unit. Power that is not used by one output channel is free for use by another output channel with greater demands. Unique to this series is that all models in the range have amplifier channels that can produce higher outputs than the average 25% of the total power, see the Technical Specifications for the maximum single channel power capacity.
Page 21
11.3. Amplifier and Load Protection Systems The D Series is equipped with a comprehensive set of protection circuits. If operating conditions become sufficiently extreme that any of these circuits become active, indication is provided by amber or red LEDs on the front panel, and by text notifications in the Lake Controller and CAFÉ...

Lake Controller User Manual. Lake–enabled amplifier devices (D Series Lake, PLM+, PLM) that have a smaller peak output voltage capability still allow ISVPL speaker threshold settings up to 600 V. When a threshold is set above the current maximum capability of a power output channel, the actual ISVPL will automatically be set to the maximum ISVPL for that channel.

11.3.5. Under Voltage Limiter (UVL™) The larger D Series devices (not D 20:4L and D 10:4L) are equipped with an under voltage limiter. With multiple, powerful devices on a mains distribution line, heavy current loads risk the reduction of voltage below that required for devices to function.
Page 25
11.3.8. Temperature Protection D Series devices are equipped with a sophisticated temperature sensing system that provides protection from overheating which may occur as a result of inadequate ventilation or excessive power output. Thermal measurements are made at several points within each power output channel along with measurements in operate continuously, with the highest possible output, and prevent shutting down.
Page 26
The DC protection is implemented, individually, on each power output to prevent damage to connected loudspeakers or any D Series components. DC present at the output will cause the unit’s power output module breaker to blow, causing a permanent hardware fault that prevents signal throughput. In this instance the channel’s Amp LED will illuminate red and a service channel fault will be registered in the Lake Controller and CAFÉ...

Operation of the short circuit protection system is indicated by Amp channel LED showing steady red and a corresponding text description will register in Lake Controller and CAFÉ software programs.

The R.SMPS (Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply) is designed to keep supply voltage rails at optimum levels. Thus the R.SMPS can deliver full rail voltage to the output sta consistent transient response and a clean LF response.

Lake Controller, where it can be turned on or off. 11.5. Auto power down The D Series models have been equipped with a Auto Power Down function. If Auto Power Down is enabled, user-defined audio passing and there is no user interaction via the Lake Controller, CAFÉ or 3rd party controllers.
11.6. LoadPilot Load Monitoring 11.6.1. Introduction LoadPilot is a feature in D Series amplifiers that can continually monitor the integrity of loudspeakers and cables connected to the outputs to ensure that they are functioning properly and free from major anomalies or faults.
Page 31
NOTE: Manual configuration of LoadPilot is implemented in CAFÉ versions 1.1.0. and later. For detailed information on manual configuration of LoadPilot, please refer to the integrated guide in the software program and to the CAFÉ Coach videos posted on the Lab.gruppen web site and on the Lab.gruppen channel on YouTube.

AES67 is a new open standard making it possible connect more devices together and share audio. The D Series Lake also have a feature to convert between AES67 and Dante, and can accordingly work as a bridge between the two different network protocols. It can input 8 channels of AES67 and transmit them out again as 8 Dante channels or vice versa and in any combination of Dante and AES67 channels.
12. Lake Processing and Lake Controller 12.1. Introduction D Series Lake integrates seamlessly into the Lake Processing environment, providing all features, functionality and connectivity associated with all Lake Processors. The internal Lake Processing, which includes programmable crossovers, EQ, dynamics and other functions, is fully controllable via Lake Controller software with a version number of v6.3 for D 200:4L, D 120:4L and D 80:4L, v6.5.0 for D 20:4L and D 10:4L and v6.5.1 for D 40:4L.
12.4. Loudspeaker Processor Overview The Lake Processing system within D Series Lake devices may be configured with up to four processing Modules containing a total of up to twelve processing Module outputs that can be routed to any of the four power output channels.
Using the System Presets function in the Lake Controller, entire system configurations can be stored and recalled across a network of Lake devices, including D Series Lake, 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.

14. Appendix 14.3. Maintenance During normal operation a D Series device provides trouble–free service. If the front panel display requires cleaning, use a soft cloth only; do not use solvent cleaners. The dust filters on both sides of the front panel, behind the grilles, should occasionally be removed and cleaned to ensure maximum airflow through the device.
