Apollo Solo Manual Console Settings 159
Hardware Settings Panel
The Hardware panel is where Apollo Solo’s system-level audio interface I/O settings such
as sample rate and output reference levels are configured. These settings are used by
DAW applications when they are configured to use Apollo Solo as the audio interface.
Even when Console is not open, these settings are stored by the Apollo Solo drivers for
use by other host applications.
Hardware panel
Sample Rate
This setting defines the sample rate that is used for Apollo Solo A/D and D/A conversion
and UAD Powered Plug-Ins processing. When using UAD Powered Plug-Ins, higher
sample rates require more UAD DSP resources.
Note: When the sample rate is changed, hardware relays that mute the outputs
are temporarily engaged to prevent audio artifacts. This action causes an acoustic
clicking sound that can be heard within the hardware. These clicks are by design
and can be safely ignored.
Host Control of Sample Rate
Behavior and control of the sample rate depends on the operating environment:
Without a DAW – Apollo Solo’s sample rate is set within Console when a DAW is not
used (when Console is the only host application).
With a DAW – The sample rate is usually changed within the DAW application’s audio
preferences.
Tip: Sample Rate can also be viewed and changed via Console’s Info Bar.
