PLM Series Quick Start and Field Reference Guide rev 1.0.66. Quick Start Tutorial15Because of the time normally required for CDpreparation, as well as for shipment of the unit, it ispossible that the software and firmware on theCD-ROM has been superseded by a newer version.However, it is permissible to load the version on the CD andthen subsequently upgrade by downloading the newestversions.6.3.3 Networked ApplicationsThe PLM Series implements a full Ethernet stack, and is a fully functional networked device. Control,monitoring and digital audio (via the Dante™ network) are available via the Ethernet connections. For informa-tion on networked applications, please refer to the PLM Series Network Configuration Guide.6.4 How to Configure the PLMThe following tutorial presents a “walk-through” of the steps involved in a typical loudspeaker systemconfiguration. It will allow the user to become familiar with the basic structure and operation of the PLMSeries implementation of Lake Processing. This tutorial employs the Lake Controller software, though somesteps 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 ananalog mixing desk is being used, and that a dedicated subwoofer output is being derived in the desk usingaux 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 thepurposes of this tutorial, is is possible to connect small full-range cabinets as a test-setting, paying closeattention to steps 26-28 to avoid excessive power levels that could damage the loudspeakers.The following tutorial assumes use of a Tablet PCand therefore uses “tap” rather than “click” foractivating commands.Connect the loudspeakers and subwoofer1. to the four power output channels as follows. Make surethat you have correctly terminated your speaker cables on both the loudspeaker side and at the speakeroutputs.Power Output Channel 1 – LF▸Power Output Channel 2 – MF▸Power Output Channel 3 – HF▸Power Output Channel 4 – Sub.▸Connect the main output of the mixing desk2. (either the left or right feed as appropriate) to Analoginput 1 of the PLM.
