telengard Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I'm playing through a Helix into the Power Cab using the Line 6 link. I also want to record what I'm playing into my recorder. I connect the XLR output into one of the inputs of my recorder and I get extremely low output. The manual states it is line level, but the output I'm seeing is pretty weak. Is there a setting somewhere to control the gain/output level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telengard Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 I've tried both an XLR to TS and XLR to TRS cable into my mixer and same results, super low output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belew01 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Verify that your PC+ xlr output is set to line. It also has the option of mic level which is much lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telengard Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Hi, thanks for the info. Where exactly can you set that? I don't see it in the Pilot's guide. That guide just says it's a line out. "Connect to an analog mixer's input. This output is Line Level with a maximum of +13dBu." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belew01 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 See PC+ manual pages 7, 17, and 19: 12. & 13. XLR Output Jacks - Connect to a mixer's input. The output level is switchable between Line Level (+13dBu) or Mic Level (~0.0dBu) - see "Global Settings" on page 17. Global Settings These global parameters allow you to optimize the Powercab Plus system for your particular needs, whether it be for practice, on stage or in the studio. These settings are persistent (automatically saved) and not part of the preset data. 1. To view Global Settings, press and hold HOME. 2. Turn the SELECT knob to scroll up and down the Global Settings list; press SELECT to toggle between scrolling the list and setting values.
