;For best results for long cable runs, use a Line Level balanced connection

Connect the output(s) of a line-level source (e.g. Helix line-level outputs) to the line-level inputs of the L1 Pro. These are the 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve jacks on L1 Pro ~~inputa~~ 1, 2, 3.

[[File:L1 Pro Line Level Inputs small.jpg|right|400px|The L1 Pro line-level inputs are the 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve jacks on channels 1, 2, 3]]

Connect the output(s) of a line-level source (e.g. Helix line-level outputs) to the line-level inputs of the L1 Pro. These are the 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve jacks on L1 Pro inputs 1, 2, 3. (Note the green dots in the picture).

;Note: The 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve inputs are line-level balanced. <br>

The XLR jacks on the L1 Pro are microphone-level signal sources, '''not''' line-level outputs.

===Balanced 1/4 inch tip-ring-sleeve connection (Line Level) ===

Set the Helix 1/4 outputs to Line level and use 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve cables to inputs 1, 2, or 3. If connecting to inputs 1 or 2 set the ToneMatch switch to ~~Off~~ and Tone controls to 12:00 o'clock and Reverb off.

Set the Helix 1/4 outputs to Line level and use 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve cables to inputs 1, 2, or 3. If connecting to inputs 1 or 2 set the ToneMatch switch to OFF and Tone controls to 12:00 o'clock and Reverb off.

===Balanced XLR to 1/4 inch tip-ring-sleeve connection mono (Line Level) ===

This leaves inputs 1&2 open for other inputs.

This leaves inputs 1 and 2 open for other inputs.

Set the Helix XLR output(s) to Line level if using an XLR to 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable.

~~Set the output level on the Helix to Line level if using the XLR to 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve~~

On the L1 Pro - running mono, connect to input 3 (that's as close to FRFR as you can get). If you want to run left/right outputs (there's no real point because the L1 Pro is mono anyway),

<!--

===Balanced XLR connection (Mic Level) ===

Set the XLR outputs to MIC level~~, you can~~ use XLR cables to inputs 1 and 2. Set the ToneMatch switch to ~~Off~~ and Tone controls to 12:00 o'clock and Reverb off.

Set the Helix XLR outputs to MIC level to use XLR cables to L1 Pro inputs 1 and 2. Set the ToneMatch switch to OFF and Tone controls to 12:00 o'clock and Reverb off.

-->

===Ordinary guitar cable (avoid using cables longer than 6 meters) (Instrument Level) ===

Set the output on the Helix 1/4 inch output(s) to Instrument level and use an ordinary guitar cable (1/4 inch tip-sleeve) to inputs 1 or 2. Set the ToneMatch switch to ~~Off~~ and Tone controls to 12:00 o'clock and Reverb off.

Set the output on the Helix 1/4 inch output(s) to Instrument level and use an ordinary guitar cable (1/4 inch tip-sleeve) to inputs 1 or 2. Set the ToneMatch switch to OFF and Tone controls to 12:00 o'clock and Reverb off.
