JazzInc Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 OK I am very happy with my Helix, but I did really enjoy being able to play backing tracks through my Firehawk. So, When I got my helix, I bought a Bluetooth receiver with an SP DIF out so I could use the SP DIF input on the helix to hear the backing tracks. Or so I thought... However, didn't work and after reading the manual twice I found a small throw away line that the variax input disables the SP DIF input. So now, I was wondering if I could use something like the loops or something to get the stereo output from my Bluetooth receiver RCA's into the helix?

Digital_Igloo Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 It's fairly common for devices to resolve to a single digital clock, and therefore digital input. If your bluetooth adapter has analog line-level outputs, yes, they can be plugged into Return 1/2 or 3/4 stereo. You'll want to set the connected returns to line level here: Global Settings > Ins/Outs > Page 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that an RCA audio output is line level right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzInc Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Is this the correct way if you use the extended mono signal path? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billlorentzen Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Is inputting through one of the spare ins a reliable method for gigging, especially with changing of patches? I've been using the mini input on my HD with perfect success, but figured it might be safer to go straight into the board when I get my Helix.

JazzInc Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 I just added this input on all my patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzInc Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Update: actually, this routing option is better. There was a noticeable volume drop in the first patch picture I posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
