GingerLefty Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I did a search and I couldn't find it. Only a few weeks in with the Helix and up to now I've been running with good quality studio headphones. The tones have been spot on and I've been having a blast. Today I finally went from the XLR outs to my Adam A7 studio monitors, and the sound was AWFUL. There is a happy ending to the story however, and I want to share it here so that others don't make the mistake I made. Experienced users will go DUH, obviously. This post is not to help you guys, but the D'OH guys like me. My A7s expect line level and the XLRs were set to mic level in the Global settings. Changed it over to line and now my monitors are giving me loveliness again. Bliss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunedinDragon Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 You probably wouldn't believe what a common "gothcha" this line level/mic level thing is not only for studio monitors, but mixing boards, FRFR speakers, 4CM...the list is almost endless.

VirtualGuitars Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I have a 7CM configuration and XLR outs to my studio monitors - all running in stereo. You have to love the Helix hardware and routing options! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
