Apollo Solo Manual Console Reference 121
Monitor Column
The Monitor Column is always visible at the right side of the
Console window. The Monitor Column contains elements
related to monitor outputs, cue outputs, insert effect
printing, and session file management.
Refer to the illustration at right for descriptions in this
section.
Note: Settings in the Monitor Column are global
functions. They are not saved with individual Console
sessions files.
Monitor Meters
These meters display the levels of Apollo Solo’s monitor mix
bus. Levels displayed here mirror the state of the Monitor 1
– 2 LED meters on Apollo Solo’s top panel.
These meters are before the monitor output level control
(pre-fader) and reflect the level of the D/A converters at the
monitor outputs.
Important: If clipping occurs, reduce levels feeding the
monitor bus by lowering the channel faders and/or output
gain(s) of UAD plug-ins within Console to eliminate
undesirable D/A clipping distortion.
Meter Source
When the monitor output signals are changed with the
Monitor Output Options, the levels displayed by the monitor
meters reflect the changed monitor outputs source signal.
Monitor Level Scale
The numerical labels represent digital signal levels.
“0” represents 0 dBFS (digital full scale, the maximum
level before undesirable D/A clipping). If the level of the
monitor bus exceeds 0 dBFS, the meter’s clip indicator(s)
illuminates.
Peak Hold
The monitor meters have a peak hold feature, which holds
signal peak values for a specified period of time. The clip
and peak hold times can be adjusted in the Display panel
within the Console Settings window.
