Aux Pre
When the Pre button is engaged (yellow), the aux mix bus is pre-fader and
pre-mute. In Pre mode, the channel faders and mutes do not affect the
aux bus.
Tip: Pre-fader mode is useful for configuring a mix bus that is completely indepen-
dent from the main channel controls (for example, when creating additional cue
mixes with Apollo).
Aux Post
Post-fader is the default setting for Aux 1 and 2. When the Post button
is engaged (yellow), the aux mix bus is post-fader and post-mute. In Post
mode, the channel faders must be up and unmuted to be routed to the
aux bus, and the aux send levels will reflect channel fader changes.
Tip: Post-fader mode is typically used when configuring an effect send mix so the
effect sends will interact with the main channel controls.
Aux Mono
This button sums the left and right channels of the stereo aux output into a monophonic
signal. The aux return output is stereo when the button is white and mono when the but-
ton is yellow.
Aux Mute
Note: Aux mute does not mute the aux bus return’s headphone sends (Apollo &
Apollo Twin), Line 3–4 sends (Apollo Twin), or cue sends (Apollo 16).
Apollo only
The aux mute button stops the aux return’s signal from being routed to the output as-
signed in the
Aux Output Route (Apollo only) menu. The aux is muted when the mute
button is red.
Apollo Twin & Apollo 16
The aux mute button stops the aux return’s signal from being routed to the monitor mix.
Aux Fader
This is the master signal level control for the aux bus return. It does not affect the aux
bus return’s headphone sends (Apollo) or cue sends (Apollo 16).
Aux Meter
The Aux Meter displays the signal level of the aux bus return. The “0” label represents
0 dbFS (digital full scale, the maximum level before undesirable D/A clipping). If the
level at the aux output exceeds 0 dbFS, the meter’s clip indicator illuminates (reduce the
levels feeding the aux if clipping occurs).
The Aux Meters have a peak hold feature, which “holds” signal peak values for a speci-
fied period of time. The clip and peak hold times can be adjusted in the
Console Settings
Panel .
