Helix L6Link capability

[ColonelForbin]

Will Helix be able to handle Line6Link at the same level as the M20d mixer?

 

The M20d can send six mono audio signals through the L6Link to multiple Stagesource speakers, and the routing for which signal goes to which speaker in the link chain is controlled in the M20d.

 

It would be nice to do that with Helix. You could create some sweet wet/dry/wet rigs that way, even send the looper to it's own speaker. If that idea makes sense, sounds cool, or is possible from a Helix hardware perspective, then vote 'er up, ya'all! :)

Current status of Helix L6 Link:

 

L6 LINK Output

Alternatively, the digital XLR connector can be used for L6 LINK output (use of a 110Ω XLR cable is recommended). L6 LINK provides easy digital audio connectivity between Helix and Line 6 StageSource speakers and/or DT-Series amplifiers. Two StageSource speakers or DT amps can also be connected in series via L6 LINK and your stereo Helix signal is intelligently split, with the left channel going to the first StageSource/DT and the right channel to the second. If you have one StageSource/DT connected, the Helix output is collapsed to mono and fed to the StageSource/DT.

 

Connecting an L6 LINK device to Helix automatically disables S/PDIF out and routes audio out the digital XLR connector - no adjustments of the Global Settings > Ins/Outs > Digital Audio or Sample Rate options are necessary.

 

TIP: With an L6 LINK connection to a DT-Series amp, often the Helix Preamp models are a better choice than Amp or Amp+Cab models. Manually configure the analog power amp options on the DT amp for more sonic possibilities!
