Apollo 8 Hardware Manual Interconnections 30
Typical Setup
This diagram illustrates an Apollo 8 setup that could be used to record two musicians
simultaneously. In this setup, only analog devices are connected; digital I/O is not used.
The example shows an electric guitar and electric bass connected to the Hi-Z inputs.
Microphones are connected to XLR inputs of channel 3 and 4, and a stereo keyboard is
connected to line inputs 5 and 6. Both headphone outputs are used during tracking and
the left/right monitor outputs are connected to a loudspeaker system for mixdown.
Key points for this example:
• Mic/Line switches for channels 3 and 4 are set to MIC
• Unique mixes can be crafted via Console’s CUE sends and routed to each
headphone output for “more me” during tracking
