Line 6 Helix to L1 Pro: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

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.

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

;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.

;Don't connect Line-Level ~~Inputs~~ to the XLR Inputs (Inputs 1 and 2) on the L1 Pro.

;Don't connect Line-Level sources to the XLR Inputs (Inputs 1 and 2) on the L1 Pro.

:Connecting a line-level source (such as mixer output) to a mic-level input will cause the sound to be loud and distorted because the line signal is much stronger than what the mic input will accept. Inputs and outputs on many mixers are switchable for either mic or line-level operation. If the mixer has the option to switch the output to mic-level, then you can use the XLR inputs on the L1 Pro.

===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) ===

Line 45:

===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 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.

===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.
