Headphone 1 & 2 Source (Apollo)
Headphone & Line 3–4 Source (Apollo Twin)
Note: This section does not apply to Apollo 16, which does not feature headphone
outputs.
Headphone/Line 3–4 Descriptions Note
Signal routing for Apollo’s HP 2 outputs and Apollo Twin’s Line 3–4 outputs is identi-
cal. For control descriptions in this section, “headphone” means Headphones 1 & 2 for
Apollo, and Headphones & Line 3–4 for Apollo Twin.
Headphone/Line 3–4 Overview
Apollo has two stereo headphone outputs on its front panel (Apollo Twin has one stereo
output and the Line 3–4 outputs). Each headphone (and Apollo Twin line 3–4) output is
individually addressable in Console, or the DAW via Apollo’s device drivers.
Because their signal paths are separate from the monitor outputs, these outputs can be
configured to contain unique mixes that are completely independent from other Apollo
hardware outputs.
The headphone (and Apollo Twin line 3–4) outputs mirror the stereo monitor outputs by
default, but each output can be configured have its own unique mix via Console’s dedi-
cated headphone (and Apollo Twin line 3–4) mix buses.
Any DAW outputs can also be routed into the headphone mix buses via Apollo’s device
drivers (see
“Virtual I/O” on page 98 for more info).
Headphone Source 1 & 2 (Apollo)
These buttons determine the source of the headphone bus mix-
es. Note that a headphone output can only use its own mix bus
(or the monitor mix) as its source. For example, you can’t select
HP 2 as the source for HP 1, and vice versa.
HP 1, HP 2 (Apollo)
When set to HP, the headphone source is the dedicated head-
phone mix bus, summed with all DAW outputs that are routed to
Apollo’s headphone outputs (if applicable). In this mode, the mix
of the this bus is determined by the Headphone Send controls in
the input channel strips and the aux return strips. Console’s fad-
ers, mutes, and solos are not reflected in the headphone output
in HP mode (Console’s headphone sends are pre-fader).
Note: When the Headphone Source is not set to MON, aux returns must be sent to
the headphone mix bus (via the aux headphone sends) for the aux to be heard in
the headphones.
MON (Apollo)
When set to MON, the headphone source is Console’s main monitor mix, summed with
all DAW buses that are routed to Apollo’s monitor outs (if applicable). Console’s faders,
mutes and solos are reflected in the headphone output in this mode.
