ed via Lake Controller. See the Lake Controller Operation Manual for further details. 
Secondary Connector – The secondary network connector can be used to create a Dante dual–network 
topology by connecting all secondary network connectors to a separate Ethernet switch, ensuring full
redundancy in the event of a network component failure. Alternatively, the secondary network connector can be 
used to daisy–chain multiple Lake devices (LM, PLM, PLM+ or D Series), if Dual Redundancy is Disabled from 
the Lake Controller. When the device is in Dual Redundancy , it is possible to connect a Lake Controller to the 
Secondary Connector as long as the IP address on the computer is on the 172.31.x.x subnet. 
NOTE: When connecting multiple devices to an Ethernet network, care must be taken NOT to create a 
closed loop which causes network malfunction.

11. Operation and performance 
11.1. Operation precautions 
Make sure that the Standby button on the unit’s f ront panel is either unlit (OFF), or red (STANDBY), before making 
any input or output connections. Ensure the AC voltage is within the range printed on the label adjacent to the AC 
mains connector. Ensure no input signal is present when powering on the unit to reduce the risk of any inadvertent 
bursts of high level audio. 
11.2. Power output performance 
The standard form factor D Series units (D200, D120 and D80) uses Lab.gruppen’s patented Class TD 
purity of Class A/B designs. The slimline D Series units (D40, D20 and D10) uses a newly developed Class D:
perfectly under all load conditions and the output maintains it
with very low nominal impedances. Reliability is very high, and there is no interference with nearby RF equipment. 
If the device has dual redundancy enabled, any AES67 audio must be on the primary network (i.e. AES67 
cannot be transmitted or received on the secondary connector).
