Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Multi-Unit Cascading 197
Multi-Unit Operation
Power On Sequence
Thunderbolt devices may be connected and/or disconnected when the computer and/or
devices are powered on (hot plugging). The order in which the Apollo units are connected
and/or powered on is not critical. Apollo units are automatically detected a few moments
after connection.
Multi-Unit Monitoring
To facilitate the mix bus integration within Console, one unit must be designated as the
monitor (master) unit. All other units are expander (slave) units.
Monitor Unit Designation
The Apollo unit at the top of the Devices Column in the Hardware panel within the
Console Settings window is the designated monitor unit. The monitor unit is indicated by
a small orange speaker icon next to its unit letter.
A different unit is designated as the monitor unit by dragging the unit to the top of the
Devices Column, as shown in the screenshots below. The monitor/expander designations
can be changed at any time.
Note: Designating Apollo Twin as the monitor unit is not a recommended
configuration. Instead, designating an Apollo rack model as the monitor unit is
recommended to take advantage of their additional outputs for CUE routing and
ALT monitoring.
Important: Changing the monitor unit designation changes the driver I/O
configuration. Quit all audio applications before performing this action.
Additionally, wait for this operation to complete before making further
adjustments.
