Apollo Software Manual Chapter 3: Console Application 40
Input Level Scale
The numerical labels represent digital signal levels. “0” represents 0 dBFS (digital full
scale, the maximum level before undesirable A/D clipping). If the level at the Apollo in-
put exceeds 0 dBFS, the meter’s clip indicator illuminates (reduce the preamp gain and/
or output level of the device feeding the input if this occurs).
These meters also have a peak hold feature, which “holds” signal peak values for a
specified period of time. The clip and peak hold times can be adjusted in the
Console
Settings Panel .
Input Label
The name of the Console input is displayed beneath the channel’s fader and meter. The
input label text cannot be modified.
Stereo Link
Adjacent channels can be linked to create stereo input pairs
by clicking the LINK button at the bottom of the channel strip.
When channels are linked as a stereo pair, any control adjust-
ments will affect both channels of the stereo signal identically.
Activation
Stereo pairs are created by clicking the LINK button at the bot-
tom of two adjacent channel strips. For preamp channels (Apol-
lo & Apollo Twin), clicking the LINK button within the preamp
controls performs the exact same function pressing the LINK
button on Apollo’s front panel.
Caution: All channel strip controls and plug-in settings in
the right channel are overwritten when LINK is activated.
When Link is activated:
• The LINK button text changes to UNLINK
• One set of controls is available for the stereo channel (ex-
cept Pan, as noted below)
• All current control settings of the left channel are copied to
the right channel (except Pan, as noted below)
• All inserted plug-ins in the left channel are converted to
stereo (parameter values are retained)
• The input pan knob changes to dual pan knobs
• Pan values are forced to hard left and hard right
• The send pan knobs are hidden from the interface (pans are
forced hard left/right stereo sends)
• The Channel Meter changes to a stereo level meter
