Apollo Solo USB Manual Apollo Solo USB System Overview 36
UAD Meter & Control Panel Application
The UAD Meter & Control Panel application is used to configure global UAD-2 system
functions and monitor UAD-2 DSP resources (including multiple devices, if connected).
The application also facilitates authorization of UAD plug-ins and UAD-2 devices.
The application consists of two components: The UAD Meter, and the UAD Control
Panels. To learn more, see UAD Meter & Control Panel.
UAD Meter
The UAD Meter displays the current UAD plug-in DSP and memory loads of all active
UAD-2 hardware. These meters are also present at the bottom of the Console application
window.
Note: Apollo Solo USB uses DSP and memory for its internal DSP mixer.
Therefore, the UAD meter displays DSP and memory usage even when UAD plug-
ins are not in use.

UAD Control Panels
The UAD Control Panel window has multiple panels that display, and enable control of,
the various UAD-2 system, plug-in, and global configuration parameters.
The screenshot below shows the System Info panel, one of four control panel windows in
the UAD Meter & Control Panel application.
