L-ACOUSTICS are pleased to announce the introduction of the LA-RAK touring rack. The LA-RAK is the central element of the new L-ACOUSTICS® system architecture built upon the LA8 amplified controller. It offers an advanced drive rack solution for all L-ACOUSTICS® systems covering signal and power distribution in a comprehensive plug and play touring package.

LA-RAK was created as a universal platform designed to facilitate cross-rental between DOSC NETWORK members and to ensure compatibility with the legacy analog cabling standard of L-ACOUSTICS® systems.

The LA-RAK module comprises:

• One 9U rack with LEXAN® front and rear covers
• Three LA8 amplified controllers
• An 1/O distribution panel for analog signal, L-NET (control and monitoring) and L-DGA (digital audio) networks distribution within the rack and link out with other racks
• Available 2U space for implementing L-NET and L-DGA network switches when operating with a star network topology
• An I/O panel for power distribution of 3 LA8, 2 Ethernet switches and one auxiliary AC outlet.

The LA-RAK working principle is entirely modular and the user can physically assemble and interconnect multiple modules to fit numerous applications. The LA RAK configuration based on a multiple of 3 LA8 yields the maximum flexibility and power resources for any L-ACOUSTICS® system from compact coaxial systems up to KUDO® and K1 stadium line source array systems. Shipping Fall of 2008, list price to be announced.
