Apollo Twin Hardware Manual Chapter 2: Quick Start 16
Software Installation
Preparation
• Close all open files and applications before starting the software installation pro-
cedure (the installer requires a restart after installation).
• If you are updating to a newer version of Apollo Twin software, it is not necessary
to remove the previous Apollo Twin software or hardware from the system before
installing the newer software.
Software Updates
The latest Apollo Twin software version is always recommended. Please check our web-
site for the latest software:
• www.uaudio.com/twin/start
Installation Procedure
Note: Before proceeding, verify the Apollo Twin hardware unit is powered and con-
nected to the host computer via Thunderbolt (see Hardware Setup for details).
To install the Apollo Twin software:
1. Go to www.uaudio.com/twin/start and download the software installer.
The installer file is downloaded to the disk location specified in the
web browser's preferences.
2. Launch the installer. The application will guide you through the pro-
cess. If prompted to update the Apollo Twin firmware, click "OK" then
wait for confirmation that the update is complete (see below for more
firmware update details).
3. Proceed to Registration & Authorization in the next section to complete the setup
process.
About Firmware Updates
• Firmware updates for the Apollo Twin hardware unit may occasionally be included
within the software to enhance system functionality.
• For optimum results, always update the firmware by clicking "OK" if prompted by
the software.
• A confirmation dialog will appear after the firmware update. After this notification,
power down the Apollo Twin hardware. The first time after power is reapplied, the
hardware will take an extra 20–30 seconds to initialize, after which the firmware
update process is complete.
• The Apollo Twin software only prompts for firmware updates (if available) during
software installation and/or when the UAD Meter & Control Panel application is
launched. However, firmware prompts will only appear if the hardware unit is con-
nected and powered.
Important: Do not interrupt system power during any firmware update routines.
