Operation

This chapter covers the basic operation of the Audio Engine.

Initial Power-Up

Depending on your distance from Logitek Electronic Systems’ factory, your Audio Engine may

have had a long journey to get to you. It’s always a good idea to re-seat all Engine cards prior to
powering on your engine.

Power Loss at Audio Engine

In the event of loss of power at the Audio Engine, upon the resumption of power, the Audio
Engine

will return to the same state it was in prior to the power failure.

Due to the inrush of current at power up, some cards may experience difficulty starting. The AE-C6
card has been programmed to perform a Quick Reset 5 seconds after power up, to ensure all cards

boot correctly.

Power Supply Control Functions

The buttons on the Power Supply module and the Communications Controller card allow you to

perform a number of different resets. The notes below vary slightly depending on the exact module
of Power Supply and Communications Controller in use.


Quick Reset

Press the black Reset button on the AE-C2 or AE-C6 Communications Controller for a Quick Reset

of the Audio Engine. This causes the Audio Engine to reboot all cards, retaining current routes, gain
levels and other DSP settings. The message

Quick will be displayed in the upper right corner of the

LCD display.

AE-C6 cards with firmware of v3.67 or above will automatically perform
another Quick Reset after 5 seconds. This is to assist the system cards to boot
up, particularly from a cold state.

TIP:

A

Quick Reset

will give an audio interruption of a couple of seconds.
