Lake LMX48 Digital Audio System Processor – 4x8 Analog Dante Loudspeaker Management

The Lake LMX48 is a powerful and compact standalone digital audio system processor, purpose-built for advanced system control and loudspeaker management in demanding professional environments. With a comprehensive I/O matrix, it features 4x8 analog I/O, 4x8 AES3 digital I/O, 8x8 Dante networked I/O, and dual AES50 interfaces, offering unmatched routing flexibility and redundancy.

Designed with touring, fixed installations, and mission-critical applications in mind, the LMX48 supports up to 96 channels via AES50, allowing selection and use of up to 24 channels as inputs or outputs. Its 16 input routers support programmable four-stage failover, ensuring seamless transition between input sources during live performances or broadcasts.

Two LMX48 units can be linked for inter-device sharing via dual redundant 24x24 AES50 ports, allowing ultra-low-latency audio exchange. The Lake Controller software provides intuitive management with scene recall, full input/output routing, and real-time control. With Dante redundancy, any audio or control signal can switch seamlessly between primary and secondary networks, ensuring maximum system reliability.
