sheehanje Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I've been here before, but revisiting this right before a show I have on Friday. I'm using Helix with 2 StageSource L3T's. I've never used them at a show before, and have only used them in rehearsal for 2 practices. I have 2, but I'm pretty sure I'm just going to use one. Two at practice were either too much volume, or not cutting the mix on lower volume - could be my patch, but with one L3T I got some better balance with the band. What's confusing to me though - in Reference PA mode, is it splitting my Helix for stereo, or is one speaker handling low end and the other high end? If the later is the case, would Electric Guitar mode be better, as from what I understand it acts more like a 2X12 in that mode and I'm getting both speakers engaged at that point? Right now I'm using IR's with an 80hz cut on low, and 7kHz cut on high frequencies. In electric guitar mode I know that there is an automatic cut applied. Does anyone know at what frequencies? My goal with one L3T is to have both speakers engaged at all times. I've had this problem where if the crossover is activating it sounds great when pumping the whole band through, but with just one guitar going through it sounds uneven to me depending on what I'm playing. Anyone one with good sound advice using an L3T or pair of L3T's in a live setting? I will be also plugged into FoH, but this particular venue has bad monitors - so I'm relying on the L3T on the backline to provide a decent guitar sound for myself and the rest of the band.
