Excellent! Thanks alot, I feel like I'm finally starting to understand it. As with all new gear theres so much to take in, let alone a POD! Exciting though and look forward to learning more. Some good quality XLR leads are on the to buy list then!! Paul

So would one of my bets options be to run 2 XLR outs, into 2 XLR input channels even if they are 2 mono channels on the mixer, pan the L hard L, and the R hard R? As it'll be on 2 channels should I just mimic the settings for each channel on the mixer? Thanks for all the answers so far!

Hi there, Sorry to bring up an old post again but having just purchased one of these units I wanted to get the basics right. I'm looking at using the unit live going directly into a mixer to be run through the PA. As I understand I should use the Balanced XLR outputs on the back of the unit to go into the desk. The desk Im using is a Yamaha MG166CX. Avoiding the wye splitter, there is only one XLR input per channel. Do I either run the XLR L out into a balanced input on the desk, and run the XLR R into another balanced channel on the desk, creating 2 channels on the desk overall, or do I just run the XLR L out into a balanced XLR input on the desk, and just add a noise gate onto every patch I use with the Decay 100% and Threshold 0%. By doing that will it create a stereo signal even though I'm only using one XLR output? Regards Paul

Hi there, Having just purchased the hd500x I was just after some tips and advice on connecting it directly to a mixing console to be run through the pa for live use. To my understanding I should be using the Balanced XLR outputs on the back of the unit to run to the desk. The desk Im using is the Yamaha MG166CX 16 Channel desk. However the 2 inputs from the back of the unit won't go into the same channel on the desk. Do I just run the XLR left out into the desk, or do I run the XLR L&R out into the desk into 2 separate channels on the desk? Sorry for the noobie question but I'm just eager to learn and as with anything new like this there is just so much to take in! Regards Paul
