Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Console Settings 142
Digital Mirror
This setting configures the S/PDIF outputs (Apollo, Apollo 8, Apollo 8p) or AES/EBU
outputs (Apollo 16) to mirror the Monitor 1 & 2 outputs. This feature is typically used
when connecting to the stereo inputs of other devices with digital inputs such as a
speaker system, stereo recorder, or external D/A converter.
When Mirror mode is ON, the Monitor Level knob controls both the digital output level
and the analog monitor output level (these digital outputs are post-fader when mirrored).
This setting is unavailable with Apollo Twin, which does not feature digital outputs.
Note: When set to ON, any DAW outputs and/or Console aux outputs that are
routed to these digital ports will not be heard, because the digital ports are
switched to output the monitor bus instead.
Monitor Operating Level
This menu switches the operating level of the monitor outputs. Available selections are
20 dBu and 14 dBu.
Note: This setting is unavailable with the original (silver) Apollo, which does not
feature an adjustable operating level.
Input Delay Compensation
Input Delay Compensation maintains phase alignment
across Console’s analog and digital inputs when certain
UAD plug-ins are used. See Input Delay Compensation
in Console for a complete explanation of this feature.
When enabling Input Delay Compensation, it’s usually
best to start with the Short value (100 samples) to
minimize latency. The default value is Medium.
Note: Changes to this setting do not take effect until the DAW is quit.
Input Delay Compensation Exceeded Dialog
A dialog will appear in Console
if the compensation amount
is exceeded on a channel. If
this occurs, either increase the
IDC value or reduce upsampled
plug-ins usage on the channel
to maintain phase alignment.
Tip: Input Delay Compensation and phase alignment is only important when
multiple Console inputs are used for a single source (such as a drum kit using
multiple microphones). For the lowest possible latency if not using multiple inputs
for a single source, turn Input Delay Compensation OFF.
