Our take
History & design
The AMS Logic 2 (released around 1990 under the AMS brand, before the 1992 AMS Neve merger) is an assignable, fully automated digital mixing console developed in the wake of the Logic 1 (1988), billed as the first fully dedicated digital audio post-production system. The Logic 1 already embedded the AudioFile hard-disk editor within a digital mixing environment; the Logic 2 is its large-format development.
Assignable architecture: surface channel strips and controls are not hard-wired to a single path but dynamically reassigned, a principle that foreshadows modern large-format digital consoles. The Logic 2's success in TV and film post-production led directly to the Digital Film Console (DFC, 1996), whose first units were installed at Warner Bros in Los Angeles.
Period numeric specifications (exact signal-path count, sample rate, bit depth) are not reliably documented and are flagged for verification rather than reconstructed.
