Introduction
About Artisan
Art meets technology in the Artisan digital console, the latest in control surface designs from Logitek
Electronic Systems
. As with its namesake, the Artisan is a craftsman of audio. It is composed of a
series of modules to provide the highest possible flexibility in design and operation while bringing
you an attractive visual centerpiece for your broadcast installations.
First released in 2006, Artisan was designed as a full-featured, easily configurable console for live TV
& radio production or small performance groups. The Artisan surface is based on a series of
modules that can be configured to suit the user’s requirements. These modules include:
¾ MTK-FADER Fader Module (2 slot width)
¾ MTK-MASTER Master Module (4 slot width)
¾ MTK-MON Monitor Module (2 slot width)
¾ MTK-EFFECTS Effects Module (2 slot width)
¾ MLX-WSOFT Wide Softkey Module (2 slot width)
¾ MLX-NSOFT Narrow Softkey Module (1 slot width)
¾ MLX-BLANK Blank Module (1 slot width)
Level monitoring is on a PC-based screen, allowing flexible configuration of screen size and meter
layout. In addition, a low-profile Monitor Bridge is available in both wide and narrow form factor.
The main frame is available in a number of different sizes to accommodate a variety of console sizes
and fader numbers. The frame is designed to be sunken into a desk for permanent installation.
These sizes are:
¾ MTK-F24 24 Slot Frame
¾ MTK-F32 32 Slot Frame
¾ MTK-F42 42 Slot Frame
