USB 1/2,
USB 3/4,
USB 5/6
USB 1/2, 3/4, and 5/6 can act as additional output blocks for rout-
ing paths to your computer, iPad or iPhone mobile device (with op-
tional Apple Camera Connection Kit). USB 7 and 8 are dedicated for re-
amping, and are not available as output block destinations. See "USB
Audio" for details.
All output blocks display Knob 1 (Pan) and Knob 2 (Level):

Output Multi (1/4”, XLR, Digital, USB 1/2)
SHORTCUT: Press Knob 1 (Pan) to return Pan to center. Press Knob 2 (Level) to
return Level to unity (0.0dB).
TIP: Use Knob 2 (Level) to set the path's overall level, which is important to
ensure all of your presets maintain a consistent volume throughout your set.
L6 LINK Output
Alternatively,thedigitalXLRconnectorcanbeusedforL6LINKoutput(useofa110Ω
XLR cable is recommended). L6 LINK provides easy digital audio connectivity be-
tween Helix LT and Line 6 StageSource speakers and/or DT-Series ampliers. Two
StageSource speakers or DT amps can also be connected in series via L6 LINK and
your stereo Helix LTsignalisintelligentlysplit,withtheleftchannelgoingtotherst
StageSource or DT and the right channel to the second. If you have one StageSource
or DT connected, the Helix LT output is collapsed to mono and fed to the StageSource
or DT.
TIP: With an L6 LINK connection to a DT-Series amp, often the Helix Preamp

the analog power amp options on the DT amp for more sonic possibilities!
TIP: It is possible to use Helix LT to remotely control several parameters on
your DT-Series amp (channel select, power amp topology, reverb, etc.) via MIDI.
Connect a 5-pin MIDI cable from Helix's MIDI Out to the DT amp's MIDI In and
use the Helix "Command Center"tocongurethedesiredMIDIcommandsfor
any preset.
Start by loading the TEMPLATES > 04D DT25-DT50 Remote preset since it
has several handy DT commands already mapped to Helix switches for you. You
can customize this template and create your own sets of controls to add to your
presets. Also see the DT MIDI Implementation Guide for a complete list of MIDI
commands, available from http://line6.com/support/manuals/.
