France - L-Acoustics has announced 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 analogue cabling standard of L-Acoustics systems, says the company.

The LA-RAK module comprises: One 9U rack with LEXAN® front and rear covers; three LA8 amplified controllers; an 1/O distribution panel for analogue signal, L-NET (control and monitoring) and L-DGA (digital audio) networks distribution within the rack and link out with other racks ; 2U space for implementing L-NET and L-DGA network switches when operating with a star network topology, plus 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 three 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.
