MY8-LAKE Owner’s Manual 11

System Examples

The MY8-LAKE card can be used in a variety of ways; this chapter describes two typical

scenarios.

System EQ (Mesa)

System EQ can be applied in Mesa mode; this is the default configuration for the MY8-LAKE

card. Mesa mode provides eight channels of discrete audio processing that can be assigned

to the host channel Insert Ins from the Insert Outs, without the use of any physical cabling—

thanks to the card solution. This configuration provides powerful Lake EQ and dynamics

processing for use as system EQ (in front-of-house mixes, for example), or as individual input

channel EQ (in vocal processing, for example). If three cards are installed, this powerful,

versatile EQ can be used in up to 24 mixes, which supports any scale of monitor system

equalization. The Mesa modules can also be used for subsystem aligning and tuning,

replacing the host console's Matrix section with an Input Mixer of each module.

Crossover (Contour)

Crossover can be applied in the Contour mode for Lake. The MY8-LAKE provides a 4x12

crossover configuration; the processed channel signals can be routed internally back to the

host device (up to 8 channels), and/or output via the AES/EBU D-sub 25-pin connector (up to 8

channels). In this system example, the stereo main mix signals from the host are routed to the

MY8-LAKE for crossover, EQ, levels and dynamics processing. The processed signals are

sent back to the available channels on the host and/or the AES/EBU connector, then to the

power amplifiers or powered speakers.

The output signals contain only the relevant frequencies (post-crossover) for each amplifier

and speaker. This scenario removes the need for separate outboard crossover and EQ

processing, reducing the amount of external hardware and racks required to achieve the same

result as traditional active speaker crossover systems.
