Output
Each preset can have up to four Output blocks (one or two per path).
Multi
1/4", XLR, Digital, and USB 1/2 outputs are all active simultaneously.
Normally, you should choose Multi.
Path 2A,
2B, or
2A+B
These outputs only appear for Path 1 output blocks, and are used to
route Path 1 into Path 2.
1/4"
1/4" outs only.
XLR
XLR outs only.
Send 1/2,
Send 3/4
Send 1/2 and 3/4 can act as additional output blocks.
Digital
S/PDIF,
AES/EBU,
L6 LINK
Only one digital output can be active at a time; choose S/PDIF or
AES/EBU and the desired sample rate in the "Global Settings > Ins/
Outs". The Global Ins/Outs settings are not necessary for L6 LINK - see
"L6 LINK Output" for more info.
USB 1/2,
USB 3/4,
USB 5/6
USB 1/2, 3/4, and 5/6 can act as additional output blocks for routing
paths to your computer, or iPad
®
(with optional Apple
®
camera 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):
Pan
Center
Level
0.0dB
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, the digital XLR connector can be used for L6 LINK output (use of a 110Ω
XLR cable is recommended). L6 LINK provides easy digital audio connectivity between
Helix and Line 6 StageSource speakers and/or DT-Series ampliers. Two StageSource
speakers or DT amps can also be connected in series via L6 LINK and your stereo
Helix signal is intelligently split, with the left channel going to the rst StageSource/DT
and the right channel to the second. If you have one StageSource/DT connected, the
Helix output is collapsed to mono and fed to the StageSource/DT.
Connecting an L6 LINK device to Helix automatically disables S/PDIF out and routes
audio out the digital XLR connector - no adjustments of the Global Settings > Ins/Outs
> Digital Audio or Sample Rate options are necessary.
TIP: With an L6 LINK connection to a DT-Series amp, often the Helix Preamp
models are a better choice than Amp or Amp+Cab models. Manually congure
the analog power amp options on the DT amp for more sonic possibilities!
