(20) Left & Right Monitor Outputs
These balanced XLR jacks are line-level analog outputs typically used for connection to
a stereo loudspeaker monitoring system. The signal levels at these outputs are controlled
with the Monitor Level & Mute knob (#12). The Monitor Outputs are DC coupled.
The Monitor Outputs can be configured to use an operating level of +4 dBu (default
value) or -10 dBV. This option is set in the Hardware panel within the Console Settings
window. For details, refer to the Apollo Software Manual.
The Monitor Outputs are completely independent from the 16 line outputs (except when
ALT monitoring is configured). By default, these outputs are labeled MON L and MON R
in Apollo’s device drivers. In the DAW, the “1–2” or “L–R” or “Main” outputs are routed
to these outputs (these labels vary within each particular DAW).
Tip: The AES/EBU output (#19) can be configured to mirror the Monitor Outputs,
for routing the stereo monitor signal to the stereo AES/EBU input of other devices.
This feature is set with the DIGITAL MIRROR menu in the Hardware panel within
the Console Settings window.
