(17) METER Indicators
These indicators show the current state of the Channel Level Meters (#14). The current
state is changed with the METER switch (#20).
IN – When IN is illuminated, the channel meters display analog input signal levels.
OUT – When OUT is illuminated, the channel meters display analog output signals
levels.
(18) Sample Rate Indicators
These indicators display the current sample rate setting for A/D and D/A conversion.
The sample rate is set within the Console application or the host DAW; see the Apollo
Software Manual for details.
(19) Monitor Output Level Meters
The 10-segment LED meters display the signal peak output levels of the rear panel Left
& Right Monitor outputs at the output of the D/A converters. These meters are before the
Monitor Level control (pre-fader) and reflect the D/A converter levels regardless of the
current Monitor Level and Headphone Level knob settings.
The dB values of the monitor meter LEDs are indicated between the left and right
channel meters. When digital clipping occurs, the red “C” (clip) LED illuminates.
If the monitor output level clips, reduce the monitor output level within the DAW and/or
reduce the output level of individual channels feeding the monitor output bus within the
Console application.
(20) Meter Switch
This switch determines whether the Channel Level Meters (#14) are displaying input
levels or output signal levels. Pressing the switch toggles the state of the meters and the
Meter Indicators (#17).
