(33) Left & Right Monitor Outputs
These balanced ¼" TRS phone jacks are line-level analog outputs typically used for
connection to a stereo loudspeaker monitoring system. Unbalanced ¼" TS cables can
also be used. The Monitor Outputs are DC coupled.
The signal levels and muting at these outputs are controlled with the Monitor Level &
Mute knob (#23).
The Monitor Outputs can be configured to use an operating level of +4 dBu (default
value) or -10 dBV. This option is set in the Hardware panel within the Console Settings
window. See the Apollo Software Manual for details.
The Monitor Outputs are completely independent and separately addressable from
the eight Line Outputs (except when ALT monitoring is configured). By default, these
outputs are labeled MON L and MON R in Apollo's device drivers. In the DAW, the "1–2"
or "L–R" or "Main" outputs are routed to these outputs (these labels vary within each
particular DAW).
Tip: The S/PDIF output (#29) can be configured to mirror the Monitor Outputs, for
routing the stereo monitor signal to the stereo S/PDIF input of other devices. This
feature is set with the DIGITAL MIRROR menu in the Hardware panel within the
Console Settings window.
