Quick Start Guide Installation and Cable Connection The first thing you should do is to install the card in your host device. For detailed installation instructions, refer to the owner's manual supplied with your host device. 1. Install the MY8-LAKE into an appropriate slot on your host device while the power is turned off, and tighten the two screws of the card to ensure a secure connection. 2. Connect a Cat5/Cat6 Ethernet cable between the MY8-LAKE and the Windows PC that will be used for the Lake Controller. NOTE • When using multiple PCs, Lake devices, or wireless access points, a network switch is required. • The default IP Address Config on the MY8-LAKE is Auto - Zero Conf (169.254.x.x); if connectivity problems are encountered, try setting the network adapter of the PC to the same subnet range or to another fixed IP address such as 192.168.0.x. • If Dante audio networking coexists on the same network for the other Lake devices, additional network configuration will be required. • For further details about configuring the Lake Controller network, refer to the Lake Controller Operation Manual and Lake Network Configuration Guide. • To prevent electromagnetic interference, use an STP (shielded twisted pair) Ethernet cable. Lake Controller Software Installation To enable full functionality and operation of the MY8-LAKE, the Lake Controller software must be installed in your Windows PC. 1. Insert the included USB flash drive into your Windows PC. 2. Follow the on-screen prompts to install the software. We recommend that you check online for the most recent version of the Lake Controller. Console (Host Device) Settings Before using the MY8-LAKE, the I/O patchings on the console (host device) must be executed according to the specific mode, as described in the following examples. CAUTION Make sure to mute or move the faders all the way down when making the console settings to avoid undesired sound. Mesa mode: For typical applications for system EQ or input EQ, you will normally insert the Lake Processing into insert points of any input or output channels on the console. On the INSERT screen of the console, patch the corresponding channels of the SLOT for the MY8-LAKE card to the Insert Outs and Ins of the desired channels on the console, and make sure the INSERT buttons are ON. Contour mode: For typical applications for crossover processing, the output ports of the desired ST L/R or MIX channels should be patched to the corresponding channels of the SLOT for the MY8-LAKE 12 MY8-LAKE Owner's Manual
