Console Application

General:

• Remote control of Apollo hardware features and functionality
• Analog-style mixer for realtime monitoring and tracking with UAD plug-ins
• Enables Realtime UAD Powered Plug-Ins processing on all inputs
• Console settings can be saved/loaded for instant recall of any configuration

Realtime UAD Processing:

• Up to four UAD plug-ins can be serially chained on each input and aux return
• UAD insert processing can be monitored “wet” while recording wet or dry
• Sub-2ms round-trip latency with four serial UAD plug-ins at 96 kHz sample rate

Channel Inputs:

• Input channels for all interface hardware inputs

(except MADI with Apollo 16)

• Level, pan, solo, and mute controls on all inputs
• Four plug-in insert slots per input for Realtime UAD processing
• Two stereo auxiliary sends with level and pan controls on all inputs
• Virtual inputs accept any outputs from DAW via device drivers
• Stereo headphone sends with level and pan controls on all inputs*
• Four stereo cue sends with level and pan controls on all inputs*
• Adjacent input pairs can be linked for convenient stereo control
• Sample rate conversion is available on S/PDIF and AES/EBU inputs*
• Any input can be routed to any output

(except Apollo Twin)

Monitoring:

• Stereo monitor mix bus with level, mute, solo clear, and source select controls
• Independent headphone buses; switchable to monitor mix and/or mirror to any output*
• 4 stereo cue mix buses; switchable to monitor mix and/or mirror to any output

(Apollo 16)

• Independent monophonic sum controls for all mix buses
• S/PDIF and AES/EBU outputs can optionally mirror the post-fader monitor mix*

Auxiliary and Cue Buses:

• Two stereo auxiliary returns with independent level, mute, and mono sum controls
• Four plug-in inserts per auxiliary return for Realtime UAD processing
• Auxiliary buses can be routed to main monitor mix or headphone & cue outputs*
• Auxiliary & cue buses can be routed to any output*
• Independent pre/post switching on each auxiliary bus
