Apollo Software Manual Chapter 6: Console Settings 119
Monitor Operating Level
This menu switches the operating level of the monitor outputs. Available selections are
20 dBu and 14 dBu.
Note: This setting is unavailable with the original (silver) Apollo, which does not
feature an adjustable operating level.
Input Delay Compensation
Input Delay Compensation maintains phase alignment
across Console’s analog and digital inputs when certain
UAD plug-ins are used. See “Input Delay Compensa-
tion in Console” on page 178 for a complete explana-
tion of this feature.
When enabling Input Delay Compensation, it’s usu-
ally best to start with the Short value (100 samples) to
minimize latency. The default value is Medium.
Note: Changes to this setting do not take effect until the DAW is quit.
Input Delay Compensation Exceeded Dialog
A dialog will appear in Console if the compensa-
tion amount is exceeded on a channel. If this
occurs, either increase the IDC value or reduce
upsampled plug-ins usage on the channel to main-
tain phase alignment.
Tip: Input Delay Compensation and phase alignment is only important when mul-
tiple Console inputs are used for a single source (such as a drum kit using mul-
tiple microphones). For the lowest possible latency if not using multiple inputs for
a single source, turn Input Delay Compensation OFF.
Cue Bus Count
The number of active cue mix buses is changed with this setting. Increasing the Cue Bus
Count increases the number of cue mix buses (and associated cue sends and returns)
available within Console and the DAW.
Between two and four cue buses can be set. The default value is two with Apollo and
four with Apollo 16. This setting is unavailable with Apollo Twin, which always features
two cue mix buses (HP and Line 3/4).
Note: Cue buses 3 and 4 are unavailable at sample rates of 176.4 kHz
and 192 kHz.
