Unison Parameter
Polarity is a Unison parameter that interacts with Unison plug-ins inserted in the PRE-
AMP slot. See the Unison chapter for more information.
Link
This button links the controls of adjacent preamp channels together (1 & 2, or
3 & 4) to create stereo input pairs. When channels are linked as a stereo pair, the
Link button is yellow and any preamp control adjustments will affect both chan-
nels of the stereo signal identically.
Note: Only the same type of inputs can be linked (Mic/Mic or Line/Line), and the
Hi-Z inputs cannot be linked.
This button has the same function as the Link button which is available on all Console
inputs. See
for more detail.
Note: For preamp channels, input pairs can also be stereo linked and unlinked via
Apollo’s front panel.
Reference Level (Apollo & Apollo 16)
The signal reference level for all analog line inputs can be switched be-
tween –10 dBV and +4 dBu with this drop menu. The setting controls
an attenuation pad for the input channel.
When set to +4 dBu, the pad is engaged and the channel can accept a
higher signal level before the A/D converter clips. Select –10 dBV when
lower input signal levels are used.
To adjust signal incoming levels for the analog inputs, use the output level controls of the
devices that are connected to those inputs.
Tip: Additional gain can be added to input signals by inserting UAD plug-ins and
adjusting the gain structure within the plug-ins.
The availability and behavior of the reference level control depends on the hardware
model:
Apollo
The reference level for channels 5 & 6 and 7 & 8 are linked in Apollo’s hardware; there-
fore the reference level in Console can only be switched according to these stereo pairs.
Apollo 16
The reference level for all analog input channels 1 – 16 can be individually switched.
