LINE level input on Helix for SLATE VMS microphone + preamp?

[bc05]

Hi guys

 

Im using the Helix as the interface in my studio and its AWESOME.

 

I just upped the anti and got the Slate VMS Mic system which has its own preamp and then connects to an interface (in my case HELIX) via a TRS - TRS cable at LINE level.

 

Which input on the Helix - 

 

a) Do I need to connect to

 

and

 

b) in order to track ONLY the dry unprocessed (at ALL - ie not even by the onboard Helix mic preamp) signal for later processing thru USB 7 or 8 - what "reamp" signal do I select? There is only "Guitar", Variax, Aux and Mic - no "Line In"... the manual says the Send / Return can be set to Line level but then how does this figure into the equation?

 

Confused, but Im sure someone has an answer out there...
