1 – 2 LED meters on Apollo’s front panel.
Console’s Monitor Meters
Meter Source
When the monitor output signals are changed with the Monitor Source buttons, the levels
displayed here reflect the changed monitor outputs source signal.
Meter Level Scale
The meter numbering represents the digital level of the monitor channel, where “0” is 0
dBFS. Both meters include a clip LED that illuminates when the level at the monitor out-
puts exceed 0 dBFS (when D/A converter clips). The clip LED hold time can be adjusted
in the Console Settings Panel.
Important: If clipping occurs, reduce the monitor output levels by reducing levels
of the channels feeding the monitor mix bus to eliminate undesirable D/A clipping
distortion.
Monitor Source
The Source buttons define which signal bus is routed to the Apollo’s monitor outputs.
The active monitor source is indicated by a yellow button.
