10. Rear panel interface

For electrical specications on inputs and outputs, please refer to Technical Specications in Section 15.

Amplier Outputs – The amplier outputs utilize mating Phoenix–type connectors. Connect loudspeaker

cables to the mating plug–in connectors observing polarity (including bridge mode option for D200, D120

and D80) as marked on the rear panel

Analog Inputs – Analog inputs are available on terminal block connectors with clearly marked hot (+), cold (–)

and ground terminals. The inputs are electronically balanced and feature Lake Iso–Float circuitry

AES3 Inputs – AES3 inputs are available on terminal block connectors with clearly marked hot (+), cold (–) and

ground terminals

RJ–45 Ethernet connectors for control and Dante digital audio network. Neutrik etherCON connectors

accept either mating etherCON connector or a standard RJ–45 connector.

Primary Network Connector – The primary connection provides integration into an Ethernet control network

which may include other Lake Processors and the Lake Controller software. Network connection permits full

control of all functions along with real–time metering from a remote position.

This device supports the Dante audio networking protocol, which allows transmission of multichannel, high–

denition digital audio over the same Ethernet connection.

Use the primary connector when using a star network topology, consisting of individual Cat–5e connections

between the devices and an Ethernet switch. Alternatively this connection can be used to daisy chain directly

to another Lake Processor. The daisy chain topology should not be used with Dante.

Additional information is also available in the Lake Network Conguration Guide.

NOTE: The Ethernet ports operate at the Ethernet data rate of up to 1 Gbps and allow straight or

crossed network cables. LEDs above each port indicate network activity (ACT) and Gigabit network

connections (Gbps). If Gbps LED is unlit, speed is 100 Mbps.
