Line 6 Helix to L1 Pro: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

"XLR Outputs Choose "Mic" when connecting the Helix XLR outputs to standalone mic preamps or the XLR mic inputs on mixers; choose "Line" when connecting to studio monitors or the line inputs on mixers. When using a mono playback system, connect only the LEFT/MONO XLR jack."

== Summary ==

;For best results: 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 ~~channels~~ 1, 2, 3.

;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.

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

The L1 Pro line-level inputs are the 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve jacks on channels 1, 2, 3.

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

Line 36:

===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.

~~===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.~~

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

Line 46:

Line 42:

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.

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