L-Acoustics LA-RAKs

The L-Acoustics LA-RAK is a comprehensive, modular, and rugged amplification and signal distribution system designed for efficient, high-quality audio amplification in large-scale sound reinforcement setups. It serves as an all-in-one solution for housing multiple L-Acoustics LA8, LA4X, or LA12X amplified controllers, ensuring a standardized and scalable approach to power distribution and signal management. Built with durability and convenience in mind, the LA-RAK is ideal for touring sound systems and fixed installations where quick setup, reliability, and high performance are essential.

Each LA-RAK unit can accommodate up to three LA8 or LA12X amplifiers, providing a powerful 12,000 to 36,000 watts of total amplification, depending on the model used. The LA-RAK also integrates an intelligent power distribution system that simplifies the deployment of large-scale speaker systems. This modular design allows for easy expansion, enabling sound engineers to configure multiple LA-RAK units in a networked system, facilitating control and monitoring over a large number of speakers with minimal cabling and setup time.

One of the key features of the LA-RAK is its flexibility and ease of integration into larger sound systems. The unit is equipped with a 6U flight-case format that houses both the amplifiers and their necessary power and signal distribution components, offering efficient cable management and protection for the equipment. It includes built-in AES/EBU and analog audio input capability, allowing it to interface with a variety of signal sources. Additionally, the system can be remotely monitored and controlled using L-Acoustics‘ LA Network Manager software, which provides real-time feedback on system performance and allows for precise adjustments.

The LA-RAK is built with the ruggedness required for touring use, featuring heavy-duty handles, reinforced casters, and a compact form factor that ensures ease of transportation. The robust design protects the internal components from wear and tear during transportation and deployment. Moreover, the integrated components are prewired and configured for plug-and-play operation, greatly reducing setup time and minimizing the risk of errors during installation. Its ability to streamline power and signal distribution while maintaining a high standard of sound quality makes it a favored choice for major live events and performances.
