Logic Digital Controller Quick Reference Guide Display The LCD displays preset and parameter information. The default screen is shown after start up and displays the number and name of the current preset on the lower line of text. When navigating around the adjustable parameters, other information is shown.

Logic Digital Controller Thanks and Unpacking Thank you for choosing a Logic System Digital series loudspeaker management system for your application. Please spare a little time to study the contents of this manual, so that you obtain the best possible performance from this unit.
Logic Digital Controller Introduction and Key Features Introduction The LOGIC SYSTEM Digital series of loudspeaker management systems represent the current state-of-the-art. Taking advantages of the latest advances in analogue to digital conversion and digital signal processing technologies the units achieve performance levels that have only recently been made possible.
Logic Digital Controller The User Guide This user manual gives a progressively more detailed description of the functions of the LOGIC SYSTEM Digital series loudspeaker management systems. A single page quick reference guide is provided for those users who are experienced with this type of equipment and just need to know how to ‘drive’...

The signal present LEDs operate at approximately –40 dBu, giving a useful indication of even...
Logic Digital Controller name will indicate the channel pairing. For example ‘A+B’ means both input A and B parameters. The name of the output will be shown briefly at the top of the display when stepping onto an output. Edit Select Buttons The currently selected edit parameter page is displayed on the bottom left corner of the LCD.
Logic Digital Controller Secure Button (on the rear) A momentary button is fitted behind the rear panel, between the output XLRs and the RS232 port. When activated, this will disable all the front panel controls so they cannot affect the signal path, making the unit secure against tampering.
Logic Digital Controller Audio Output Connectors The processed outputs are impedance balanced, and wired pin-1 ground, pin-2 hot and pin-3 cold. An unbalanced input may be driven by connecting pin-3 ‘cold’ signal to the ground connection of the unbalanced destination input. Note that output pin-1’s are ground lifted at audio frequencies but connected to ground at RF for good EMC performance.
Logic Digital Controller Operation Starting up The unit will energise as soon as power is applied to the IEC inlet; there is no power switch. During the start up process the firmware application model number and version numbers are displayed and the outputs are muted until the unit has completed its internal checks. Once the start-up routines are complete and the unit is ready to pass audio.
Logic Digital Controller Preset described above. These presets are also locked but the user can name and store their own edited versions in any free preset location. Navigation and Viewing Parameters Many of the processing elements in each input and output path have features that may be controlled by the user, such as gain, frequency or limiter threshold.

Logic Digital Controller High Pass Filter In A Freq Shape 20.0Hz LR24 • Knob A: Frequency, out (off), 10.0Hz to 25.6kHz in variable steps • Knob B: high pass filter type System high pass filtering is provided for the input signal. This is the preferred location for high pass filtering as it affects all outputs and can therefore improve inter-band phase relationships.
Logic Digital Controller • Knob B: Slope, 6 to 12dB / octave in 1dB steps • Knob C: Gain, +/-15dB in 0.2dB steps The frequency is specified as point where the filter deviates by 3dB from the gain value. Parametric filters...

Logic Digital Controller Limiters Out1 Thresh 4.0dB • Knob A: Threshold, -40dBu to 20dBu in 0.2dB steps A high performance, low distortion limiter is provided on each output. Threshold is user adjustable; all other parameters are carefully calculated dependant on configuration to provide clean and effective control of signal dynamics.
Logic Digital Controller Utilities Utility functions Three utility functions are provided to adjust screen contrast, the display units used for parametric equalisation bandwidth and switch between stereo and mono mode. The device automatically adjusts for the variations in display contrast as the temperature of the LCD changes.
