Can I output my Helix into a stereo receiver?

[DugT]

For bedroom playing, will the Helix output work with the input of a good full size Yamaha stereo receiver? I would only play at lower volumes and only a few times a year. I don't want to take my frfr back and forth to my other house.

Hi,

 

Possibly you would be better off using some good quality headphones that would give you better results - tools to do the job.

 

Lots of options at various price points - discussed many times on this and other forums - do a search.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

It will work.  Be sure to set your output to line level.

Thanks for the replies!

I did a search and it looks like using the TRS (Stereo) mic output and a cable like the one below would be a good way to do it.

As long as it's a Line Input, a normal dual 1/4" to dual RCA will be fine. Also, the regular 1/4" Outputs (set to LINE) will probably work best. There is no mic output, you probably meant Headphone, which may also work, but if you already have a TS to RCA cable, no need to buy an Insert Cable.

Thank you. Yes, I did mean headphone output. 

 

I was going to use one TRS cable and output from the headphone because that seemed like the simplist way to play in stereo but now I see that the Headphone output cannot be set to line. I will get two TS to RCA cables as you suggested.
