The Logic MMC Console
Introduction
The Logic MMC Console
Introduction
Logic MMC is a fully automated, all digital console consisting of three parts - the console surface, the processor
and the I/O system.
Console Surface
The control surface comes in frame sizes from 12 to 48 faders, any of which may be sub-fitted with multiples of 6
faders. The surface is arranged to make one man operation as comfortable as possible, with the most
commonly used controls located within easy reach of the central position. Adjustments can be made to any
channel, even on a 48 fader console, without leaving the monitoring sweet point.
Encore, the configuration and automation system, is fully integrated into the console surface.
This chapter provides an overview of the console surface.
Processor
The processor provides a pool of digital processing that is used to manipulate signals according to control
changes on the console surface. This differs from an analogue console in that an analogue console has a fixed
set of controls where the Logic MMC can have signal processing added or removed as required.
All audio signals are connected to the processor from the I/O system via industry standard MADI connections.
MADI also allows the easy connection of third party digital equipment.
I/O System
The Logic MMC I/O system comprises a complete range of digital interfaces, high definition, ultra fast ADCs
and DACs, sample rate converters and remote low noise mic amps. It also incorporates, as standard, a router
that is used to patch any input to any input path (e.g. Channel, Track tape return, etc.) and any output to any
output path (e.g. Aux, Main Output, Track send, etc.).
