tarang74 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 For the outputs, XLR and Line out If I’m outputting to a console, will it be mic or line? If both are connected to the same type of speaker, (all knobs same), will XLR and Line out have the same levels? Also am I correct in saying that I don’t need a DI box? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 When you connect a microphone to a console, that's mic level. Connecting via XLR I always start with mic level. In a pro situation that usually gets it. If you're connecting to amateur gear you may need Line level if the signal is too weak. The level of the outputs will always be what you set them at in Global Settings. If you're sending via XLR, you don'r need a DI box. Just be aware that phantom power from the board needs to be OFF or it will mess with your sound. The Helix 1/4" outs are NOT balanced, so cable runs of >20' could mess with the sound (noise, attenuation) which is the best reason to use XLR cables to the board.

The OP knows the options, just wanted advice on which one to choose. This forum is all about advice and helping out :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
