I am a little confused ( which is not rare) about how to use the Helix and Firehawk together through the mixing board. I use the Firehawk 1500 as a stage monitor for the Helix and love it. However, after playing a show with just the Firehawk last weekend, it seems that it has some great tones as well, that I would like to add to the Helix output. Is there a ( preferably simple) way to get the Firehawk preset and the separate Helix preset to sum up and go through one mic cable to the board? There are many times that only one input is available on the mixer.
If I run the XLR outs of the Helix to the Monitor In of the Firehawk, and run the Main out of the Firehawk to the board, would the Helix tone get sent to the board? or does the monitor in signal simply go the amp and speakers, without being sent through the Main Out? If it does get sent through, then what are the options to get a dry signal to the Firehawk to get summed up with the Helix signal?
Sorry if this is confusing. I may have reached my brain's DSP limit on this one. In essence I want to add a complete Firehawk tone to my Helix tone and send them both through one XLR output to the mixer. I have seen a lot about the wet/dry/wet method for mixing the effects from both units together, which I will try for recording, but for live situations, I would really like to just use each units individual tones through one output.
Thanks for any insight/advice/information. I really appreciate it.
