These new PLM Series from Lab.gruppen eliminate the need for separate processing. Because they integrate signal distribution, drive processing, power amplification and performance monitoring into a single unit with a unified software controller, I simply recall the pre-programmed settings for different wedge monitors, ARCS, subs or thumpers. Built-in Dolby Lake processing means that I need one less unit in my rack and it allows me to have a spare amp just in case. This really helps keep the footprint of my monitor world quite small.
