Robert300 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I'm using an HD500 with a Blackstar HT5 amp with effects loop. Had the amp for a while as a first amp and there is an upgrade in the future. This is what I am thinking of a potential future setup. HD500 L mono out to effects return. Set the output for combo power amp and the line level/amp swtich to line level. Get a new L2t and run the L6 link from the HD500 to the L2t L6 port. Just with that setup, will I get output out of both my amp and the L2t at the same time? At that point is there a way to get a feed to the FOH using the balanced XLR outs on the HD500....? The goal would be to have the amp, l2t and a FOH speaker all on at the same time. On one of the past posts I read that the output is a global command. So if I set the output mode to combo power amp... then there is no way to set the XLR out (which I read is always a mic level signal regardless of any settings) ... to what it would typically be for a FOH connection... Studio DIrect. So in this configuration it looks like I wouldn't be able to use the XLR out as a front of house connection... If there is a new amp purchase in the future .. then the DT25 which has the XLR direct out would solve this... right? If I did get a DT25... then could I just connect the HD500 L6 to the DT25 and the L6 from the DT25 to the L6 on the L2t..... and for the FOH connection use either the 1/4 or XLR outs on the 500 set as studio direct? OR, would I need to use the DT25 direct out for this.... so all the HD500 would be doing in this case is L6 and the DT25 would be the connection to the FOH. I guess the question there is ... can I use the L6 link on the HD500 and still configure the "outs" as a studio direct connection ... or does using the L6 prevent that configuration....? Thanks.

Robert300 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 I just remembered the L2t has an XLR thru out.... so if I need to run a line to FOH I could just come off of that ... correct? So if that is the case it would be HD500 set to combo power amp and a 1/4" L out to the amps effects return... and the L6 link connecting to the L2T.... and then the XLR thru out on the L2t connecting to FOH if needed..... So then it just gets down to ... can I have the HD500 set to Combo Power amp for a connection to my amp effect return and the L6 running from the 500 to the L2t running concurrently....?
