Physical Installation
Surface to Meter Bridge
The Meter Bridge has a short 4-wire cable with an RJ-11 connector on the end. This is plugged into
the port labeled COM12 on the underside of the frame. The cable length is suitable to mount the
Meter Bridge
behind the Artisan frame. If alternative wiring is required, this can be replaced with a
custom made cable using flat telephone cable and RJ-11 connectors.
” TIP: The above only applies if using a physical Meter Bridge.
Internal Module Connections
Inside the frame two 25-pair connectors are broken out to individual RJ-11 port connections. There
is generally no requirement to replace these cables, as the lengths are made to suit the position of
each module.
PSU to Audio Engine
The Artisan Power Supply Unit connects to the Logitek Audio Engine using a balanced serial link.
Standard CAT5 or better cabling is recommended.
Systems are supplied with the Audio Engine AE-C6 controller card, which connects using an RJ45 at
the Audio Engine and the Artisan.
The Artisan is supplied with a CAT5 patch lead, to connect the AE-C6 to the Artisan Power Supply
Unit. This lead is sufficient for testing purposes; however, the Audio Engine will normally be located
away from studios.
You can use a dedicated CAT5 cable or existing structured cabling. If using structured cabling
systems, care should be exercised to ensure the Audio Engine connections are not confused with
other network outlets and that the link is not unintentionally “un-patched”.
¬ See Appendix B for connector pinouts.
