compression and identify potential problems. (See the Lake Controller User Manual PLM Addendum for
more detailed information on PLM Series load verification and real-time performance monitoring functions.)
4.2.3 Lake Processing and Controller
®
The PLM Series integrates seamlessly into the Lake Processing environment. Two processing modules
offer precise settings for gain, delay, crossover slope, equalization and limiting. Lake processing features
incorporated in each module include Raised Cosine Equalization
loudspeaker protection. The Super Module feature allows hardware processing modules in two or more
separate PLM Series units to function as a single module in the Lake Controller software interface. (See
section 8.2 and the separate Dolby Lake Controller User Manual.)

4.2.4 Lake Analyzer Bridge

Lake Controller software also allows seamless integration with third-party, real-time sound system measure-
ment tools. This complete integration feature allows you to measure with third-party measurement software
and adjust your system EQ at the same time, using the same user interface.
Third-party measurement tools that can be seamlessly integrated include:
▸ Smaart Version 5
▸ Live-Capture Light / Live-Capture Pro
Smaart, distributed and supported by EAW, is the most straightforward and widely used software for
real-time sound system measurement, optimization and control. Smaart combines several powerful audio
frequency measurement and analysis tools.
Live-Capture was created by WaveCapture to offer easy-to-use software and measurement tools for sound
engineers, installers, consultants and designers. The Lake Analyzer Bridge in conjunction with Live-Capture
Light provides a completely free spectrum analyzer via your Lake Controller software interface.
4.2.5 Dante audio network
™
All PLM Series products include Dante digital audio networking as standard. Based on the latest advances
in networking, Dante offers simplified system configuration and extremely low latency while delivering
very high quality uncompressed digital audio over the entire PLM Series network. The Zen™ automatic
configuration feature enables "plug-and-play" setup without third-party DHCP or DNS servers. Dante is
fully compatible with new high-bandwidth network backbones, allowing high channel counts while also
transporting third-party control protocols through the same network.

4.3 Additional Documentation

This document, the PLM Series Operation Manual, serves as the primary reference source for detailed
information on the installation and operation of PLM Series Powered Loudspeaker Management systems.
It also provides detailed information on set-up and configuration of internal features using the front-panel
interface.
However, if you intend to use the PLM Series unit(s) as part of networked systems, or access monitoring
and control features via the Lake Controller software application, then you may need to refer to the following
complementary documents. All are available on the included CD-ROM or online at:
