Connecting POD HD500X to Stagesource speakers in stereo


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I've been looking an answer to this issue but haven't been able to find a definitive answer. I have owned the POD HD500X for a few months now and I'm interested in using it as a FRFR rig. I have tested it with my Yamaha Stagepass 400i PA system and I'm getting quite good sounds out of it. However, I'm looking to upgrade the PA into two Stagesource l2t's hoping that it would deliver better sound than the Yamaha (comments on this are also welcome!). 

 

As I have been testing the POD with my Yamaha I have noticed that connecting it in stereo will yield better sounds out of it. Especially when using stereo delays or modulation but also when not having anything truly stereo in the signal path. This is why I would like to connect my POD to the Stagesource in true stereo. 

 

Since I would like to be able to use the Stagesource also for vocals, an acoustic guitar and possibly a drum machine or a backing track, I'm wondering if I'm still able to use the POD in true stereo while having all those connected at the same time. 

 

So the actual question is, will the POD play in true stereo if I connect it to a Stagesource l2t's "line input" port in the back panel of the unit with a "2 x Mono jack 6.3 mm male > Jack 6.3 mm stereo male" cable (like this for example: https://www.thomann.de/fi/cordial_cfy_6_vpp.htm)?

 

Then the whole rig would be connected like this:

 

Electric guitar -> POD HD500X  -> POD L & R outs to Stagesource line input 

 

Acoustic guitar -> Stagesource Channel 1 

 

Vocal mic -> Stagesource Channel 2

 

Drum machine or music -> Stagesource L&R Aux input

 

Stagesource l2t #1 -> L6 link cable -> Stagesource l2t #2 (and another L6 link cable back to #1 if I'd still want to use the mixer of the other l2t for another similar setup?) 

 

So would this kind of setup work properly and let POD play in true stereo? I like the idea of being able to connect the POD in stereo with just one cable and saving inputs for other mics, guitars, etc. I hope someone is able to answer this question so I don't have to worry about spending 2000€ to a PA that won't deliver what I'm looking for.
