Apollo Software Manual Chapter 4: Console Reference 78
Monitor Column
The Monitor Column is always visible at the right side of the
Console window. The Monitor Column contains elements re-
lated to monitor outputs, cue outputs, insert effect printing,
and session file management, as shown at right.
Note: Settings in the Monitor Column are global func-
tions. They are not saved with individual Console ses-
sions files.
Monitor Meters
The Monitor Meters display the levels of Apollo’s monitor
mix bus. Levels displayed here mirror the state of the Moni-
tor 1 – 2 LED meters on Apollo’s front 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 out-
put 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” rep-
resents 0 dBFS (digital full scale, the maximum level before
undesirable A/D clipping). If the level of the monitor bus
exceeds 0 dBFS, the meter’s clip indicator(s) illuminates.
Peak Hold
The monitor meters also 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.
