Hi there

I am reaching out with a question to see if this software would work for myself.
I am a live sound engineer and use Smaart and Lake LM44s and 26 to tune the touring rigs.
I was initially looking for a solution to tune my home studio and rehearsal room speakers (rehearsal room locations keep changing)

Now, which speaker management system would work with the software? Can I import FIR into the LM series?
What, maybe more affordable, speaker management processor would work for my home setup?
I appreciate the help!

Regarding Lake, FIR Creator EX, FIR Designer and FIR Designer M work with the core processing in the Lake FIR 3-way and Lake XP modules. Our software doesn’t yet work with the input “Mesa” EQ on all the modules and groups; but stay tuned.

W.r.t. the LM44 and LM26, you need to check with LG about which modules run on these, or open the Lake Controller, add a virtual LM44 or LM26 frame to the workspace and try loading the FIR 3-way or XP modules, and see which ones work.

For home use, I suggest looking at the MiniDSP products. Some support FIR+IIR and some IIR only.

Best regards,
