Our take
History & design
The Logic 2 is a fully digital, assignable mixing console launched by AMS in 1990, following the Logic 1 (1988) — the first dynamically configurable, fully automated digital console for professional use. Built for audio post-production, it integrates natively with AudioFile, AMS's hard-disk recorder-editor, making it a complete dubbing and sound-editing environment at a time when mixing was still largely done on 16 mm magnetic film.
Its assignable architecture breaks with the one-strip-per-channel model: physical controls are dynamically reassigned to processing, letting a compact surface drive a very large number of channels. Adopted by the TV and film post-production industry, the Logic 2 paved the way for the first Digital Film Console (DFC) in 1996. Detailed specifications (channel count, engine resolution, sample rates) remain to be confirmed against period documentation.
