13.2. Software installation and fi rmware update
13.2.1. Lake Controller software suite
1. The Lake controller software suite includes the Lake controller and accompanying utilities: Lake Update Utility,
Preset Manager, Lake LoadLibrary, Dante discovery services and documentation. Download the Lake Controller
installation from www.labgruppen.com.
2. Execute the installer and follow the on–screen instructions. This is a typical software installation where the
default settings are acceptable for the vast majority of users.
13.2.2. CAFÉ software
1. The CAFÉ software is available as a separate installer on www.labgruppen.com.
2. Execute the installer and follow the on–screen instructions. This is a typical software installation where the
default settings are acceptable for the vast majority of users.
13.2.3. Firmware update
The latest fi rmware for the product is included in the Lake controller installation. It is likely that fi rmware installed on
the new product is older and requires updating.
1. Make sure all frames are powered on and connected through a wired network.
2. Launch the Lake fi rmware update utility LakeUpdate.exe.
3. Select the appropriate product range.
4. If more than one network adapter is enabled, a prompt will appear requiring selection of the adapter connected
to the frames.
5. If prompted, allow the application access through the Firewall.
6. Latest fi rmware is preselected.
7. Discovered frames are listed. Tap Select Old and Update to initiate fi rmware update of all outdated frames.
Frames already up to date will not be selected.
8. Read warning message and tap OK.
9. Wait for all updates to be completed. A wait indication will display on the unit(s) during updating.
10. Follow the on screen instructions. Amplifi ers with fi rmware associated with Lake Controller 6.5.0 or later will
automatically power cycle the mains power, whereas amplifi ers with older fi rmware will display a message that
a manual power cycle is required. (Note: A manual power cycle requires the mains plug to be completely
removed, the standby button does not complete the fi rmware update.)
11. If internal updates are needed, these will be performed by the frame after the power cycle. A wait indication is
displayed.
12. Tap Exit to close the update utility.
13.3. System setup
This tutorial provides a step–by–step guide for confi guration of a typical professional loudspeaker system and
provides an overview of the basic features and operation of the frame. This tutorial describes how to confi gure
4–channel frame for use with a generic 3–way loudspeaker system (with separate HF, MF and LF drivers), plus
a separate subwoofer. It assumes that the system is fed with analog outputs from a mixing console with one
fullrange main output and a separate sub feed.
1. Connect the loudspeakers to the four power output channels:
a. Channel 1 – Low Frequency Driver
b. Channel 2 – Mid Range Driver
c. Channel 3 – High Frequency Driver
d. Channel 4 – Subwoofer
2. Connect the main output of the mixing console to analog input 1 of the frame and the sub feed to input 2.
While confi guring, it is a good practice to make sure the volume is turned down on the console.
3. Ensure the frame is powered on and is in its default state, and that the computer has established an active
Ethernet connection.
4. On the Tablet PC, launch the Lake Controller software application. Select the appropriate network adapter if
more than one is enabled, and tap NO to the dialog asking whether to load the previous confi guration.
5. Tap MODULES button on the menu bar at the bottom of the screen to access the Module Menu and scroll
bar.
6. On the Module scroll bar, the frame is represented with a frame containing four discs. These are labeled A, B,
C and D, each representing one of the four Lake processing modules.
7. Tap the frame to select it, then tap again in the MAIN area of the screen to place all modules of the frame in
the current system confi guration. The Lake Controller uploads settings from the frame.
8. Tap the icon for Module A; its border will turn yellow to confi rm selection and an LED on the front panel of the
associated device will illuminate.
9. Tap the Module Store/Recall button on the Modules Menu; the menu will change to show additional options.
10. Double–tap the Default Modules folder, then double–tap the Contour Classic Crossovers folder. A set of
loudspeaker symbols will be displayed.
11. Tap CL3way, and then tap the RECALL button. This confi gures the DSP for the Module A as a 3–way
crossover for the 3 way speaker.
12. Tap Yes when asked to confi rm that all data will be overwritten.
13. An Output confi guration dialog will pop up to allow for routing of module outputs to power channels. Tap the
orange number buttons in the matrix to un–route, freeing up a power channel. Tap a blue number button at
the intersection of the appropriate module output and power channel, routing the module output to the power
channel. Proceed until you have routing according to the picture below and tap the bottom right return button
to exit the dialog.
