Lake training
The Lake training is aimed at sound engineering users such as FoH, monitor and system technicians. Basics of sound technology such as control of loudspeaker systems, EQ and crossover, limiter calculation etc. are required. Participants are usually experienced technicians, for whom only the ‘Lake World’ is new territory.

Two-day training with two levels
Level I: Basics and Features of Lake Controller Software
Level II: System design and practical exercises

Theatre of ItzehoeLevel-I Basics & Controller Software
Participants will be fully introduced to Lake technology. You will get to know the hardware as well as all typical Lake features such as: Iso-Float, Ideal Graphic EQ, MESA EQ, LimiterMax, ISVPL. On the basis of a complete run of the Lake controller software, the participants will be shown all functions as well as the handling of firmware updates and preset management. All designer functions such as the overview/entry tables and the context of user and factory settings are also part of Level-I. Practical exercises and further system design topics are covered in Level-II.
Learning objectives:
- What is Lake? ...History & Hardware Overview
- Typical of Lake
- Iso-float
- Input fallback
- Clock configuration
- latencies
- LimiterMax
- ISVPL
- Ideal Graphic EQ
- MESA EQ
- Raised Cosine Equalisation
- EQ Conversion for Lake Processing
- Load smart
- Contour & MESA mode
- Lab.group functions,
- modules
- groups
- systems
- Supermodules
- Designer Fashion vs User Fashion
- Designer functions
- Firmware management
- Preset management
- Password protection Hirarchy
- Hide & View Only
- Base configuration
- Other functions
- The complete range of functions of the Lake controller software in a systematic run without practical exercises
Level-II System Design & Practical Workshop
The participants are taught the software by means of practical exercises on their own computer. You will learn to program modules for your own loudspeakers yourself and to make the correct adjustment of Crossover and LimiterMax/ISVPL for perfect protection of the loudspeaker components. You will learn how to customize Contour Modules for PLM power amplifiers and form groups.
Students will learn how to create and password-protect systems using Designer Functions, Modules, and Systems, and how to limit features for guest engineers. All other designer functions, such as the overview/entry tables and the context of user and factory settings, are also part of Level-II.
In the afternoon, further system design aspects will be highlighted. The focus here is on clocking, routing and fallback strategies for redundancy requirements and limiter options with Lake Processing.
Learning objectives:
- Create module
- LimiterMax and ISVPL settings
- Password protection module
- Lake Groups Apply Philosophy
- Create a system
- System Password protection and functional limitations for guest engineers
- Clock Domain overview
- SRC vs. SRC-Clock
- Auto clock detection
- Clock slipping
- Match multiple clock domains
- PLM+ as Stagebox
- AES Stacking Mode
- Small Touring Dante distribution
- Quick & Dirty FoH feeds
- Multi-Mixer Festival FoH
- Fallback strategies at RockNRoll, Techno-Festival and Corporate Events
- Emergency evacuation announcements
- Crest factor
- RMS- & Peak Limiter
- Protective Agents vs. Auxiliaries
- creative use of group data
- Compliance with level requirements
