Apollo 16 rear panel – analog I/O
(1) Left & Right Monitor Outputs
These balanced XLR jacks are line-level analog outputs typically used for connection to
a stereo loudspeaker monitoring system. The signal levels at these outputs are controlled
with the Monitor Level & Mute knob (#7).
The Monitor Outputs can be configured to use an operating level of 14 dBu or 20 dBu.
This option is set in the Hardware panel within the Console Settings window.
The Monitor Outputs are completely independent from the 16 line outputs (except when
ALT monitoring is configured). By default, the “1–2” or “L–R” or “Main” outputs from a
DAW are routed to these outputs (these labels vary within each particular DAW).
NOTE: The AES/ABU outputs (#8) can be configured to mirror the Monitor Out-
puts, for routing the stereo monitor signal to the stereo AES/EBU input of other
devices. This feature is set with the DIGITAL MIRROR menu in the Hardware
panel within the Console Settings window.
(2) Line Outputs 1 – 16
The 16 analog outputs are accessed via dual female DB25 connectors. Each DB25 jack
carries eight balanced line-level channel outputs using standardized Tascam wiring.
Note: See DB25 Wiring for connector pinouts.
The Line Outputs can be configured in adjacent pairs to use -10 dBV or +4 dBu
reference levels. This function is configured in the Hardware panel within the Console
Settings window.
