Helix Floor: Use XLR Out for Send block

[toko42]

I'd like to create a simple setup to be able to use my Helix with my bass and IEM in a way that

 

- Bass is send to FOH via XLR

- IEM uses Return1/2 with phones connected either directly to Helix or via wireless

 

Right now this would work only with workarounds.

 

- Send1 sends bass to FOH

- Return 1/2 receives IEM without bass (!) to avoid phase cancellations

 

This solution obviously works even with a Stomp but ignores the possibilities the larger devices offer.

 

I would suggest to include 1/4" and XLR to Send outs to facilitate this in a future firmware.

There is a Global Settings -> Ins/Outs -> Headphones Monitor option, set it to 1/4". 

Use the bass signal path and send it to Multi Output.

Use a second path dedicated to the IEM monitor signal to connect Aux or Returns to 1/4".

This way you route the monitor signal on the headphones but not on the XLR.

 

BTW: To play to a monitor feed that already contains the bass signal you can select XLR as the destination for the bass path. Not recommended, just in case.

This works in priniciple but whenever you have to have a bassamp as monitor for the rest of the band, the IEM signal would also be feed to that amp.
