levels and monitor/headphone output volume levels.

Installation Notes
• Locate the interface on a flat surface so its feet will maintain airflow beneath the
unit.
• The location should be sturdy enough to securely hold its weight and withstand
the pressure of operating the top panel controls.
• Allow space at the front and rear of the unit for cable connections.
• Do not block the cooling vents on the bottom or sides of the unit.
• As with any sound system, the following steps are recommended to avoid audio
spikes in your speakers and headphones:
1. Power on the speakers last, after all other devices (including Apollo Twin X) are
powered on.
2. Power off the speakers first, before all other devices (including Apollo Twin X)
are powered off.
3. Remove headphones from ears before powering Apollo Twin X on or off.
