5.7 Files and Presets
The Lake system provides various methods for storing and recalling Module, Frame, or system-wide data.
An overview is provided below; for further information please refer to the Lake Controller Operation Manual.
5.7.1 Module, System and Sub-System Configuration Files
Module, System and Sub-System Configuration files are stored on the Lake Controller PC, and data is
passed across the network when recalling or storing these type of files.
▸ A Module file is the smallest set of data that can be stored and recalled; it contains crossover, gain,
delay, and limiter information for an individual loudspeaker (i.e. the data shown in red in the signal flow
diagrams in section 5.1). A Module file may be recalled into other Lake devices. It is not possible to
store a Module File directly on the hardware device.
▸ A System or Sub-System Configuration File contains a set of Module file information in addition to
Frame related information such Group data and I/O configuration (i.e. the data shown in blue in the
signal flow diagrams in section 5.1).
5.7.2 Frame and System Presets
This device allows the complete processor configuration to be stored as a Frame Preset on the
hardware unit itself. Presets can be recalled via the front panel (please refer to section 6.10.6) or via the
Lake Controller software (please refer to the Lake Controller Operation Manual). Presets can be stored into
the device using the Lake Controller or the LM Series Preset Manager utility.
A maximum of 100 Frame Presets can be stored on this device. The data within a Frame Preset includes the
configurations of both Modules in the Frame, including all levels, crossover, EQ, input mixer, output routing,
and all other Module, Frame and Group parameters. As Frame Presets are stored in the device, complete
processor configurations may be recalled without the need to connect the device to a PC.
Using the System Presets function in the Lake Controller, entire system configurations can be stored and
recalled across a network of LM & PLM Series devices, Dolby Lake Processors, Mesa Quad EQ and the
Contour Pro 26. This enables fast retrieval and switching of entire system configurations as minimal data is
being sent between the Controller and Processors.
