1.1 Important Information
In January 2009, Lab.gruppen acquired from Dolby Laboratories, Inc. both the Lake trademarks and the
exclusive rights for use of Dolby
® Lake ® Processor technology for both touring and permanent sound
reinforcement markets. Lab.gruppen is now developing the Lake Processing technology and the Controller
software independently for these markets. The Lab.gruppen-developed Controller software version will be
forthwith named Lake Controller software.
1.2 Introduction
The Lake Controller software provides a unified interface for the Lab.gruppen PLM ™ Series, PLM+ Series,
D Series, Lake LM Series and the MY8-LAKE (Yamaha Mini-YGDAI). Optimized for a wireless touch-screen
or Tablet PC, the Controller uses a unique graphic interface that brings back the feel of analog faders
and controls. The software operates on any Microsoft
® Windows ® PC with a standard Ethernet network
interface.
The Lake Controller may also be accessed via media tablet devices such as the Apple ® iPad ™ by using
remote desktop connectivity software that requires additional configuration. For further details on configur-
ing the Lake Controller for use via a media tablet, please refer to the Product Documentation category of the
support section at http://lakeprocessing.com.
This manual describes the functionality of the Lake Controller software suite, including the main
Lake Controller component, along with associated Firmware Update Utilities and Preset Manager Utilities.
For a full understanding of the Lake Controller System, use this manual together with associated hardware
operation manuals, audio networking information and quick reference guides that are provided in the docu-
mentation folder of your software installation.
Note that the Lake Controller software has all necessary functionality to control the Lake LM Series devices,
Lab.gruppen PLM, PLM+ and D Series devices and the MY8-LAKE (Yamaha Mini-YGDAI). Support for
legacy devices including the Dolby Lake Processor
™ ,Contour Pro 26 ™ and Mesa Quad EQ ™ discontinued in
Lake Controller v6.x; for control of these devices please use Lake Controller v5.x.
Throughout this manual, the generic term ‘device’ will be used to describe any hardware product containing
Lake Processing technology.
