Outputs Settings Panel
The Outputs panel is used to configure the global behavior of the hardware outputs.

Monitor Outputs
S/PDIF Mirrors Monitor 1–2 (Apollo only)
AES/EBU Mirrors Monitor 1–2 (Apollo 16 only)
This setting configures the S/PDIF (Apollo) or AES/EBU (Apollo 16) outputs to mirror the
Monitor 1 & 2 outputs. This feature can be useful when connecting to the stereo inputs
of other devices with digital inputs such as a speaker system, stereo recorder, or external
D/A converter.
When Mirror mode is active, the Monitor Level knob controls both the digital output level
and the analog monitor output level (these digital outputs are post-fader when mirrored).
Note: When this box is checked, any DAW outputs and/or Console aux outputs that
are routed to these digital ports will not be heard, because the digital ports are
switched to output the monitor bus instead.
Operating Level (Apollo Twin & Apollo 16 only)
This menu switches the operating level of the monitor out-
puts. Available selections are 20 dBu and 14 dBu.
Line Output Reference Levels
These drop menus set the reference level for the line outputs. The number of menus dis-
played depends on the currently connected Apollo hardware (multiple units and/or Apollo
16 will display more menus). The name of unit(s) the from the
Rename Unit field are
reflected here to identify the outputs.
The line output reference levels can be set to –10 dBV or +4 dBu in adjacent pairs. The
value is usually set to match the nominal input level of devices connected to these out-
puts (a setting of +4 dBu outputs a higher signal level than –10 dBV).
Note: Input reference levels for the analog line inputs are set in Console’s channel
input strips.
