Apollo x8 Hardware Manual Front Panel 22
(23) Monitor Level & Mute Knob
This rotary encoder serves two functions. Rotating the knob adjusts the monitor output
level, and pressing the knob mutes the monitor outputs.
Monitor Level
Rotating the knob clockwise increases the signal level at the Left & Right Monitor
Outputs on the rear panel. If ALT monitor outputs are configured and active, this knob
controls the signal level at the ALT monitoring line outputs.
Monitor Mute
Pressing the Monitor knob toggles the mute state of the signals at the Left & Right
Monitor Outputs on the rear panel. If ALT monitoring is configured in the Hardware panel
within the Console Settings window (when ALT COUNT is a non-zero value), the ALT
monitor outputs are also muted by this control.
When the monitor outs are muted, the Monitor Level Indicator ring (#24) is red.
Note: Monitor Mute does not mute the headphone outputs.
(24) Monitor Level & Monitor State Indicator
Tip: The Monitor Level and Monitor State indications are reflected in the Monitor
column within the Console application.
Monitor Output Level Indicator
The relative signal level at the rear panel monitor outputs (and ALT monitor outputs, if
configured) is indicated by the illuminated ring surrounding the Monitor Level knob.
This indicator is after the Monitor Level control (post fader). The ring indicates relative
gain levels and is not calibrated to indicate any specific dB value.
Tip: Precise numerical dB gain values for the Monitor Level Knob are displayed
within the Console application.
Monitor State Indicator
The color of the indicator ring indicates the current state of the monitor outputs:
Green – The main monitor outputs are active with variable level control.
Red – The main monitor outputs (and ALT monitor outputs, if configured) are muted.
Orange – The ALT 1 monitor outputs are active.
Amber – The FCN switch is active and assigned ALT 2.
Flashing – The monitor DIM, MONO, and/or TALKBACK functions are active.
