We have Apollo x8 interfaces installed in the four Music Tech Labs, both Audio Mixing Benches and the 5.1 room.

Intro

  • We have Apollo x8 interfaces installed in the four Music Tech Labs, both Audio Mixing Benches and the 5.1 room.
  • The are multichannel interfaces with
    • HI-Z inputs for guitars
    • Mic inputs with XLR jacks
    • Line inputs with 1/4" jacks
  • The interfaces and software were configured to work in the various labs.
  • The Music Tech labs make use of more inputs and outputs of the interface.
  • The Audio Music Benches are set up in a similar way to make moving between labs easier.
  • Not all of the inputs and outputs are connected in the various labs.

 Inputs

  • On the front there are two HI-Z inputs inputs (labelled HI-Z 1 and HI-Z 2)
    • Theses are for low level signal like electric guitars.  Only use mono 1/4 cables.
  • There are 4 XLR mic inputs on the back of the interface.
    • There is a panel with 4 XLR jacks below the interface.
    • These are connected to the 4 mic inputs.
    • Microphones can be connected to these inputs using XLR cables (not included in the room).
    • Each input has:
      • Trim control knob for setting input levels
      • Pad for reducing input levels
      • 48V Phantom Power for powering condenser microphones
      • Low cut filter.
  • There are eight 1/4" line level inputs on the back.

Outputs

  • There are 8 line outputs on the back.
  • Not every lab is using all 8 outputs.

Labeling

  • The various audio applications may refer to the inputs and outputs with slightly different names.
  • We have tried to set the preferences to meaningful names but sometimes they may revert back to the default names.
