Frequently Asked Questions - Clearmountain 8068 Apogee
How do I connect the Clearmountain 8068 to my audio interface?
Connect the balanced outputs of your interface to the line inputs on the rear panel of the Clearmountain 8068 using TRS cables. The main stereo output should be connected to your monitoring system via XLR cables.
Can I use the Clearmountain 8068 with unbalanced gear?
Yes, but for optimal performance use balanced connections. If using unbalanced cables, keep cable lengths short and avoid running them near power sources to minimize noise.
What is the recommended gain staging for the 8068?
Set your source levels so that the average signal hits around 0 dBVU on the meters. The Clearmountain 8068 offers ample headroom, so you can push levels higher for analog coloration without distortion.
Does the Clearmountain 8068 require any special drivers?
No, it is a purely analog device and does not require any drivers. It connects directly to your audio interface's line outputs.
How should I clean the front panel and controls?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using any chemical cleaners or abrasives that could damage the finish.
What type of rack screws should I use?
Use standard 10-32 rack screws with a rack rail depth of approximately 12 inches. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the chassis.
Can I use the 8068 for mixing more than 8 channels?
Yes, you can cascade multiple units using the link feature (if available) or sum multiple buses. Each unit provides stereo output, so for larger setups you can combine them.
What is the headroom of the Clearmountain 8068?
The unit operates on a +24 dBu headroom, allowing you to drive signals hot without clipping. This is ideal for achieving analog saturation effects.
Is there a mute or solo function?
The Clearmountain 8068 is a summing mixer and does not include per-channel mute or solo. Those functions should be handled in your DAW before routing audio to the unit.
What is the warranty period and how do I get service?
Apogee offers a 1-year limited warranty. For service, contact Apogee support or an authorized service center. Keep your proof of purchase for warranty claims.
