Atomant669 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hi guys have finally settled for a HD500X with a L2M speaker for my dream rig however there's no sound coming out of the speaker when during L6 connection via XLR cables. But it does work when I plug it in with a 1/4 inch jack from 500's output r/mono to the l2m's signal input. I have attached a picture if that would make it alittle more comprehendable. Am I missing out on something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egkor Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hi, 1) I don't see a picture attached. 2) Are you connecting a (known good) XLR cable using L6 Link "Out" connection from your HD500X to L6 Link "In" on your L2M? -Gary K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomant669 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yes I would like to believe so, the XLR cable comes new together with the dream rig. Sorry about the pictures it doesn't load up. So there aren't any special steps I need to take for the l6 link to work and it should just start right up? There's nothing coming out of the speakers when I connect it via xlr.

Atomant669 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 On another thread someone says to switch everything off, reboot the 500X then turn on the L2m. I did just that but it didn't work for me. Shoul it sound right up just like when I plug it with 1/4 inch jacks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomant669 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 This is how I hook it right up with the XLR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Your picture indicates that the cables are connected properly, and that the volume level settings on both the HD500X and the L2M are appropriate. You should be hearing sound. It seems to me that you have a hardware fault in either the cable (make sure it is an AES/EBU cable rather than standard XLR), the L2M L6 LINK jack, or the HD500X L6 LINK jack. I would either return the devices for testing/replacement if the retailer return policy is still active, or open a support ticket with Line 6. EDIT: One other possibility. Check the L6 LINK Audio Setup on page 9 of the HD500X Setup pages. Make sure it is not set to Mute.

Atomant669 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Okay, this is what I see on page 4, 9 and 10 in the setup menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Those settings look OK, which points to a hardware fault in one of the components I described earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomant669 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hi Silverhead, thanks for replying to my posts. It seems like the stagesource for whatever reasons decided to work today but it's not after the hassle of bringing the 500x down to the Line6 distributor to 'isolate' where the problem is. We managed to isolate it down to the stage source speaker since the 500X and xlr cable works with the stagesource speaker down at the Line6 dealer. So when I got back home and decided to give the stagesource another try and hooked up the xlr cable before I bring it back to the dealer for an exchange, it pops right up. Now it's running fine on xlr cable. :) Weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphodboy Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 This is how I hook it right up with the XLR. My L3 lights up the number one in the LCD panel next to the Stagesource L6 link input and I notice your doesn't. Could it be a connection problem? Have you tried a different DMX cable?

Hi buddy, thank you for pointing that out, yeah it is a connection problem but sadly I didn't get to figure that out until lugging that 500X to the retailer and back home, then did it start to work. Probably from a very 'stiff' new XLR cable connection. Now it's working again. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
