Lake LM 26 - Digital Audio Loudspeaker ProcessorLake LM 26 - Digital Audio Loudspeaker Processor

The LM 26 is a full-featured, 2-in/6-out stand-alone Digital Audio Loudspeaker Processor. Based on the highly acclaimed Lake Processing technology, it provides seamless compatibility with Lab.gruppen’s PLM™ Series Powered Loudspeaker Management™
systems as well as with all Dolby® Lake Processors and earlier versions of the technology, including Lake Mesa Quad EQ™ and Lake Contour Pro 26™. The LM 26’s easily programmable EQ and delay capabilities allow quick reconfiguration for use as processor and line driver for self-powered loudspeaker applications as well as for systems using separate power amplifiers.

In step with the flexible Lake Processing technology implemented in the PLM Series, the LM 26 will accept audio signals as analog, AES3 digital, or via Audinate’s advanced Dante digital audio network at 48 kHz and 96 kHz sampling rates. Automatic input priority switching may be enabled, and the unit can function as both an input matrix mixer and Dante break-in and break-out box.

Exclusive Lake Processing features incorporated in the LM 26 include Raised Cosine Equalization; linear phase and classic crossovers; and LimiterMax peak and RMS limiters. The Super Module capability allows flexible grouping of processor channels across separate
hardware frames, including prior Lake products and PLM Series units. All functions are controlled via wired or wireless networking by the Windows®-based Lake Controller software application. A universal power supply with detachable locking mains cable allows worldwide use.

The LM 26 can be controlled or monitored via a 9-pin General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) connection. External devices such as alarm systems can trigger mute, power control or preset recall functions; status and fault conditions can also be reported externally. GPIO configuration is available via the front panel or Lake Controller.
