Bus Sends

Overview
The bus sends are used to send Console’s input signals to the auxiliary, headphone (Apol-
lo & Apollo Twin), and cue (Apollo 16) buses. Each send has independent level, pan, and
enable controls. All auxiliary, headphone, and cue mix buses in Console are stereo, and
all these buses are always active.
The two auxiliary mix buses are post-fader and are typically used to create reverb or delay
returns for monitoring with effects.

Apollo & Apollo Twin

Apollo’s headphone mix buses (two for Apollo, one for Apollo Twin) are pre-fader and are
typically used to create independent stereo mixes for Apollo’s headphone outputs.

Apollo 16

Apollo’s four cue mix buses are pre-fader and are typically used to create independent
stereo mixes that can be routed to any Apollo 16 output for use with outboard gear such
as headphone distribution systems.
Visible Sends
Each Console input channel has two visible sends. The visible sends for each channel
are selected with the two send menus that are available on each input channel. When a
send bus is selected with the send menus, the bus is selected for all inputs, providing a
convenient visual reference for the mix state of the bus.
The visible sends can optionally be unique for each channel if desired, by holding the
option key (Mac) or alt key (Windows) while selecting the send bus.

Note: Two mix buses are displayed concurrently, but all mix buses are always active.
