Apollo Hardware Manual Interconnections

Typical Setup
This diagram illustrates an Apollo setup that might be used by two musicians that are recording
simultaneously. In this setup, only analog devices are connected; digital I/O is not used.
The example shows an electric guitar and electric bass connected to the Hi-Z inputs. Microphones are
connected to XLR inputs of channel 3 and 4, and a stereo keyboard instrument is connected to line inputs 5
and 6. Both headphone outputs are used during tracking and the left/right monitor outputs are connected to a
loudspeaker system for mixdown.
Key points for this example:
• Mic/Line switch for channels 3 and 4 are set to “Mic”
• Unique mixes can be sent to each headphone output for “more me” during tracking
• If connecting to a Thunderbolt computer via the Thunderbolt Option Card, the FireWire connections
shown here would not be used
