Updated Lake Controller Delivers Greater Flexibility

Sweden-based Lake has just announced the release of an update to the company's proprietary Lake Controller software.
This latest version (v5.6) includes several critical developments to both the Lake Controller software and included firmware for both LM 26 Digital Audio Loudspeaker Processor and Lab.gruppen PLM Series Powered Loudspeaker Management products.
Lake Controller software provides a unified interface for control and monitoring of PLM Series systems and Lake LM 26 Digital Audio Loudspeaker Processors.
In addition to controlling all parameters of Lake Processing, the Controller also provides control and monitoring of exclusive PLM Series features: digital input gain and attenuation, and comprehensive load verification and monitoring via LoadSmart and SpeakerSafe.
One of the most significant benefits delivered by this major update is the provision of Bridge Mode configuration on all PLM Series models (PLM 10000Q, PLM 140000 and PLM 20000Q) which allows the user to bridge two channels together and achieve a larger output voltage swing.
This is useful for particularly demanding applications such as high power handling subwoofers or large format line array elements where the LF is driven by a bridged channel (with the mids and highs driven by the other 2 channels on a single unit in the case of the PLM 10000Q and PLM 20000Q). As it's a firmware update, Bridge Mode adds new flexibility and offers even greater potential to those with existing PLM inventories as well as prospective customers.
Several network speed and robustness improvements have also been implemented, including switching communication protocols from UDP Broadcast to UDP Unicast, greatly reducing network traffic.
This improves performance when using Lake Controller over Wi-Fi access and in multiple controller applications.
Other key improvements with this latest update include provision of current draw and thermal dissipation data for the PLM 20000Q as well as enhanced fault and warning indications and improved robustness to the PSU of the new flagship PLM. Third party protocol v2.1 is also released as part of this latest version that now supports the PLM Series and LM 26. A Crestron module is now available for PLM Series with one supporting LM 26 coming soon.
