Lake Processing has become the de-facto standard for speaker processing in live sound applications. The MY8-LAKE is a DSP card for Yamaha digital mixing consoles, developed through close technological cooperation between Yamaha and Lake. The full power of Mesa EQ, Ideal Graphic EQ, and Linear Phase Crossover functions are packed into one compact card, providing immense processing capability and precise, intuitive control right at your fingertips.  

Lake Processing technology began in the late 1990s, makes it possible to achieve maximum sonic quality in any live sound situation. Mesa EQ with asymmetrical response curves, Ideal Graphic EQ with minimum inter-band interference, Linear Phase Crossover that allows steep slopes without disrupting phase characteristics: these are some of the Lake Processing features that make it easy to deliver ideal sonic performance in venues of any size, with any acoustic characteristics, and with any speakers from any manufacturer. The intuitive Lake Controller user interface contributes to easy, efficient operation, even under the pressure of preparing for a live show.

The small size of the MY8-LAKE belies the outstanding processing power it offers. 8-in/8-out*1 processing is available in Mesa Mode, while Contour Mode provides 4-in/12-out*2 capability. In Mesa Mode the MY8-LAKE can be used to provide system EQ for the main mix or channel EQ for vocal processing, for example. Contour Mode offers optimum crossover processing for superior speaker system performance, eliminating the need for external crossover and EQ devices. The Mesa and Contour modes can also be combined, giving the MY8-LAKE the flexibility to adapt to a wide range of applications.
