Channel Input Strips
Each Console input strip controls the corresponding Apollo
hardware input. The output of all Console channel input strips
are always routed to Console’s monitor outputs. Inputs can be
optionally routed to other outputs via the
Auxiliary Section .
Console’s channel input strips are essentially the same for all
inputs, however there are some differences among the analog
and digital inputs as noted below. Detailed descriptions of all
controls begin on
page 27 .
Input Types
Console has analog inputs, digital inputs, and virtual I/O inputs.
The controls that are available in each strip depends on the
type of input.
Inputs vs. Channels (Apollo & Apollo Twin)
Console’s analog inputs reflect the channels of A/D conver-
sion that are available in Apollo. Since there are actually more
analog inputs (mic, line, Hi-Z) on the interface than channels,
Console’s preamp inputs are switched between the analog input
connectors that are available on the hardware channels (like an
analog mixing console with multiple input types per channel).
Preamp Inputs (Apollo & Apollo Twin)
The preamp channels are switched between mic and line inputs
manually via Console or Apollo’s front panel. Channels are auto-
matically switched to Hi-Z inputs when a ¼” mono (tip-sleeve)
cable is connected to Apollo’s front panel Hi-Z input jack.
