the monitor column.

ALT Trim Controls
The ALT trim controls are typically used to compensate for differ-
ent levels of the alternate monitor speakers so they have the same
apparent volume as the main monitor speakers.
Note: ALT controls are only visible when the ALT COUNT menu
in the Hardware panel within the Console Settings window is
set to a non-zero value.
See “ALT Monitoring Overview” on page 38 for more details.
ALT Level – Adjusts the output level of the main monitor mix when
it is routed to a different pair of Apollo line outputs via the ALT
monitoring function. The default value is 0 dB with an available
range of ±30 dB.
ALT Value – The current ALT level value in dB is displayed.
DIM Controls
DIM is used to quickly reduce the listening volume in the control room by a set amount
and quickly return to the prior volume.
DIM Amount – This control adjusts the amount of attenuation level that is applied to the
main monitor mix when the DIM switch is engaged. The default value is -20 dB with an
available range of 0 dB to -60 dB.
DIM Enable – When engaged (lit), the monitor outputs (and ALT outputs, when active)
are attenuated by the DIM Amount value.
