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.

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 output signals contain only the relevant frequencies (post-crossover) for each amplifier and speaker.

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.
