A technique is provided for reducing power consumption of an internally powered console in an audio system through frequency based signal routing. The emulation engine includes a system emulator configured to emulate, in an isolated computer environment, at least a part of a computer system and a program emulator configured to emulate in the isolated computer environment execution of the computer program, including execution of a plurality of executable components of the computer program, such as execution processes and threads. A PCI arbiter is coupled to each of the PCI cores. An ion reflector focuses ions to a second focal plane where the ion flight time is substantially independent to first order of an initial velocity of the ions prior to acceleration. The transmission conductor is located inside the housing, running through openings in the partition walls across all the resonator cavities.
