Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Console Settings 147
Digital Output (Apollo 8p)
This menu selects the digital output type (ADAT or S/PDIF) to be used by the TOSLINK
optical connector and Console’s digital outputs channels.
Apollo 8p supports S/PDIF digital output at sample rates up to 96 kHz. If the current
setting is ADAT and the sample rate is higher than 96 kHz, when S/PDIF input is
selected, the clock source is changed to Internal and the S/PDIF outputs are no longer
unavailable.
Monitor Output Gain (Apollo 8, Apollo 8p, Apollo 16 MkII)
Note: In multi-unit configurations, this setting is available for the designated
monitor unit only.
By default, monitor output levels are continuously variable. However, the monitor
outputs can be set to completely bypass the monitor level circuitry and operate at a fixed
reference level.
This feature routes the signal directly from the D/A converters to the monitor outputs
for the purest path when level control is not needed (for example, when connecting the
monitor outputs to an external monitor controller). Two settings are available:
On – The monitor controls operate normally
Bypass – The monitor controls and associated circuitry are bypassed, and:
• The Monitor Level cannot be adjusted
• The Monitor Level Indicator ring is solid green
• The Monitor Level Value display changes to “BYP”
• ALT monitoring and assignable FCN switch features are unavailable
• Signals at the Monitor Outputs are output at line level (without attenua-
tion)
Line Input Gain (Apollo 8, Apollo 8p)
By default, line inputs on preamp channels are routed through the channel’s preamp so
the line input level can be adjusted with the Gain knob. However, preamp channel line
inputs can be individually set to completely bypass the channel’s preamp circuitry and
instead operate at a fixed reference level.
This feature routes the preamp channel’s line input signal directly into the D/A converter
for the purest path when additional gain is not needed (for example, when connecting
external mic preamps to preamp channel line inputs). Two settings are available:
On – The line input is routed through the channel’s preamp
Bypass – The preamp and associated circuitry are bypassed, and:
• The Preamp Gain Indicator ring for the channel is solid green
• If a Unison plug-in is in the channel’s dedicated Unison insert, the Unison plug-in
is bypassed
