  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
3
  AES3 Inputs – AES3 inputs are available on terminal block connectors with clearly marked hot (+), cold (–) and 
 ground terminals

  RJ–45 Ethernet connectors 
for control, Dante and AES67 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–
definition digitial audio over the same Ethernet connection. AES67 audio flows are also supported. 
  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 Co  
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.
