Remote Window

The Remote window provides settings to configure the optional Apogee Control hardware remote control. To open the Remote

window, choose Window > Remote, type Command+4 or click on the Remote toolbar button.

The nine buttons in the window - 1-4, A-D and Control Knob - are used to define the

function of corresponding hardware Function buttons.

The following functions are available for all buttons:

None - When a button is assigned to None, it does nothing.

Mute Panic - Mute the headphone and Speaker outputs of all connected units.

- Tapping the button again doesn’t un-mute the signal - it must be un-muted

in Element Control software.

Mute Speakers - Mute the Main speaker output (when two interfaces are connected,

Master interface only).

Mute Headphones - Mute the Headphone outputs of all connected interfaces.

Mute All Outputs - Mute the Speaker and all Headphone outputs; tap again to unmute.

Mute Toggle Headphone/Speaker - Toggle between two states:

1. All Headphone outputs muted and the Speaker output unmuted

2. All Headphone outputs unmuted and the Speaker output muted.

- When recording in the same room as speakers, this function provides one

button switching between recording with headphones and listening back

over speakers.

Master interface only).

Set Main Out to Reference Level - Set the Main output level to a predetermined

reference level, from -64 to 0 dB. To determine the reference level, use an

external audio measurement tool and set the Main Out control to generate

the desired SPL level. Once Main Out is set, then



assign a Function button to “Set Main Out to Reference

Level”. Now, when that button is pushed, Main Out jumps to the saved level.
