[. . . ] Keep these instructions for future reference. Heed all warnings to ensure safe operation. Follow all instructions provided in this document. Do not use this apparatus near water or in locations where condensation may occur. [. . . ] 1-2 and L-R Buttons These handy buttons allow you to decide the audio path of the corresponding channel. Pushing the "1/2" button allows the signal to be sent to the Group 1/2 mix, where the "L-R" allows it to be sent to the Main L/R mix. 29. Low Frequency Control This control is used to give a shelving boost or cut of 15 dB to low frequency (80 Hz) sounds. This will adjust the amount of bass included in the audio of the channel, and bring more warmth and punch to drums and bass guitars. This LED indicator will illuminate when the channel hits high peaks, 6 dB before overload occurs. It is best to adjust the channel level control so as to allow the PEAK indicator to light up on regular 31 intervals only. This will ensure a greater dynamic range of audio. This indicator also doubles as a Solo indicator, when the SOLO button is engaged. 28 29 30 24. Solo Button This control alters the signal level that is being sent to the auxiliary 1 mixing bus, the signal of which is suitable for connecting stage monitors, allowing artists to listen to the music that is being played. Also included is a Pre/Post button, which alternates the feed to the AUX 2 mixing bus between a post and prefader feed. 25. EFX Control This control alters the signal level that is sent to the EFX send (AUX 3) output and the built-in digital effect processor. The EFX send signal can be used in conjunction with external signal processors (this signal of which can be returned to mixer via the AUX return input), or simply as an additional auxiliary output. The Solo button is pushed to allow the signal of a corresponding channel to be sent to the Control Room / Phones control (pre or post fader, depending on the properties selected by the pre / post button, located by the Control Room / Phones control), for use with either headphones or studio monitors. To see the list of available programs, please check the Digital Effect Table. 39 35. EFX Return Control This LED indicator will illuminate when the device hits high peaks. It is best to adjust the EFX Send Controls (on all Input Channels and the Master Section) so as to ensure the Peak indicator does not light up at all. This will ensure a greater dynamic range for audio. 36. Effect On Button and Indicator This button is pushed to turn the corresponding effect panel on or off. When the effect processor is turned on, the corresponding LED illuminates. 37 34 35 36 38 This 60mm fader adjusts the signal level of audio fed through to stereo AUX Return 2 inputs. If no device is plugged into the AUX Return 2 inputs, this control then acts as the final level control of the built-in Digital Effect Engine. The EFX Return Control also features a SOLO button, which allows users to send the signal to the Control Room / Phones mixing bus. There is also a 1-2 button, which sends the signal to the Group 1 and 2 mixing bus, as well as a L-R button, which sends the signal to the 40 Main L-R mixing bus. The accompanying "To AUX 1" control allows users to adjust the volume of that particular signal that is sent to the AUX 1 send mixing bus. An on button and indicator also accompanies this control, allowing users to mute and activate the channel at will. PHONIC CORPORATION Helix Board 18 FireWire User's Manual page 9 41. [. . . ] Many of these adjustable properties, as they are, are set for optimum performance and, unless you are sure of what you need to change, are probably best left alone. Input Channels The Input Channels section allows users to view and edit the name of the various input channels received from the FireWire input. For a list of default channel names, please consult the table on page 16. First off, the synch mode can be altered, though making this alteration is not recommended for novice users. The synch mode is basically the way the computer determines what the 'clock source' (ie. [. . . ]
