Do you know that AUX in is TS and not TRS, or is it speculation? In a piece of professional gear I'd be assuming that a line-level 1/4" input would be balanced.

The Yamaha DXR series has a mic/line switch, actually, and the mic pre part is the builtin mixer of the DXR and not part of the general input of the active monitor. Yamaha's HS active monitor line has no mic pres but accepts line input only (either consumer or pro line levels). That's why I'd not be so sure that the manual is actually refering to mic level instead of line level.

The G10S manual is needlessly ambiguous, because audio interfaces typically have both mic and line inputs. On the other hand, I haven't seen a powered speaker that'd expect mic level signals, but line level only. And mixing desks have line inputs, too.

I was reading this part "mixing desk, audio interface, powered speaker, or similar" to mean that the XLR out of the G10S is line level, not mic level.

Thanks, zolko60. I've been digging through a few other threads here, and it seems that AUX in on the rear of the Helix Rack is the best option as it's closest to line level, and the DI out of the G10S gives line level, anyway, so a converter cable or adaptor from XLR to TRS should do the job.

There is no "Guitar in" on the rear of the Helix Rack, which is the topic of this thread: which input to use on the rear of the device, not on the front of the device.

Gonna resurrect this, with a slightly different question: I have the new G10S, which also has a DI out. I guess the DI out over XLR should provide the highest quality signal from G10S to Helix Rack. Which input on the Rack should I use? The manual doesn't spell it out - is the AUX in on the Rack a TRS connector? Or is it possible to use the Mic in as a guitar input?
