Apollo 8 Hardware Manual Interconnections 29
Basic Setup
This diagram illustrates a simple Apollo 8 setup that could be used by an individual
musician/engineer for recording and mixing. It shows an electric guitar connected to the
Hi-Z input of channel 1 and a microphone connected to the XLR input of channel 2 so
they can both be recorded simultaneously.
Key points for this example:
• Two preamp channels are used (electric guitar and microphone)
• Mic/Line switch for channel 2 is set to MIC
• Monitor outputs are connected to powered monitors (or an amp+speaker system)
