Networked Applications; How To Configure The Plm - Lab.gruppen PLM series Quick Start Manual

Because of the time normally required for CD
preparation, as well as for shipment of the unit, it is
possible that the software and firmware on the
CD-ROM has been superseded by a newer version.
However, it is permissible to load the version on the CD and
then subsequently upgrade by downloading the newest
versions.

6.3.3 Networked Applications

The PLM Series implements a full Ethernet stack, and is a fully functional networked device. Control,
monitoring and digital audio (via the Dante

6.4 How to Configure the PLM

The following tutorial presents a "walk-through" of the steps involved in a typical loudspeaker system
configuration. It will allow the user to become familiar with the basic structure and operation of the PLM
Series implementation of Lake Processing. This tutorial employs the Lake Controller software, though some
steps are accessible via the PLM's front panel.
The example given is for configuring a four-channel PLM to drive a 3-way loudspeaker system (with sepa-
rate HF, MF and LF drivers), plus a separate Auxiliary output for feeding a subwoofer. It assumes that an
analog mixing desk is being used, and that a dedicated subwoofer output is being derived in the desk using
aux sends and a separate auxiliary output.
The example uses a generic (hypothetical) loudspeaker type to illustrate the principles involved. No speaker–
specific data or LoadLibrary Fingerprint is included in the crossover configuration. Also note that, for the
purposes of this tutorial, is is possible to connect small full-range cabinets as a test-setting, paying close
attention to steps 26-28 to avoid excessive power levels that could damage the loudspeakers.
The following tutorial assumes use of a Tablet PC
and therefore uses "tap" rather than "click" for
activating commands.
