Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Apollo Twin MkII Talkback 187
Talkback Microphone
Optimized for Talkback
Apollo Twin MkII’s built-in mic and supporting analog circuitry are optimized for
talkback. The gain and frequency response characteristics are carefully tuned to support
typical voice talkback scenarios.
Automatic DIM
When talkback is active, Console’s DIM function is automatically engaged to lower
volume levels at the monitor outputs, allowing the talkback mic to better capture the
voice input instead program material from the monitor speakers. See DIM Controls for
related information.
Realtime UAD Processing
As with all Apollo inputs, the talkback mic input strip has four dedicated UAD plug-in
inserts for Realtime UAD Processing for manipulating talkback mic sonics. For example,
the mic’s high frequencies can be softened by filtering the top end with the included
Precision Channel Strip plug-in.
If hotter mic levels are desired, any UAD plug-in that features level controls (such as
Precision Channel Strip) can be used in the talkback input strip’s plug-in inserts to
increase software gain of the talkback mic.
Audio Driver Channels
The talkback mic signal is output to Core Audio (Mac) and ASIO (Windows) by Apollo’s
audio drivers, which can be optionally configured in the I/O Matrix Panel within Console
Settings.
The talkback microphone can be selected as a source for audio inputs in the DAW,
providing a convenient means to record slate cues (or complete acoustic performances)
in audio tracks without a separate external mic.
The audio drivers carry two mic signal streams labeled TALKBACK 1 and TALKBACK 2.
The talkback signal is monophonic and is duplicated on each of the TALKBACK 1 and 2
channels.
