Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Console Reference 84
Preamp Gain
The channel’s preamp gain is adjusted with this knob. The input to
be adjusted (Mic, Line, or Hi-Z) is determined by the state of the
channel’s Mic/Line switch or the Hi-Z input (if connected).
Rotating the knob clockwise increases the preamp gain for the channel.
The available gain range for all preamp channels is 10 dB to 65 dB for the
Mic, Line, and Hi-Z inputs.
Gain Value
The specific amount of preamp gain in decibels is displayed in gray text near the gain
control. The relative amount of preamp gain is indicated by the green “LED ring”
surrounding the gain control. The LED ring is a different color when Unison is active in
the channel.
Line Input Gain Bypass (Apollo 8, Apollo 8p)
When a preamp channel’s line input is selected and its Line Input Gain is
bypassed, the Gain Value field displays BYP, its gain cannot be adjusted,
and the Unison plug-in (if inserted) is disabled. For related details, see
Line Input Gain (Apollo 8, Apollo 8p).
Front Panel Channel Selection Indicator Dot
Apollo’s channel selection can be changed using the front panel
hardware. The small colored dot that appears next to the gain control
(as shown at right, outlined in red) indicates the preamp channel
that is currently selected with Apollo’s front panel.
Note: The indicator dot in Console changes channels when the
channel selection is changed with Apollo’s front panel.
Unison Insert
Unison is an exclusive analog/digital integration technology
that’s built into every Apollo microphone preamplifier. The
preamp controls in Console (and the hardware unit) interact
extensively with Unison plug-in parameters.
To add a Unison plug-in to the preamp channel, click the dedicated
Unison insert slot located below the Gain control (as shown at right,
outlined in red). For complete Unison details, see Unison.
