36. AUX Send 1 Master Control
This control will adjust the final output level for the
AUX send output, the signal of which is taken from
the AUX 1 from each input channel.
37. FireWire Source Select
This switch determines which of teh Helix Board's
signals will be used for the 9th and 10th channels
sent through the FireWire interface to the computer.
Users can choose to send the stereo signal from
AUX 1/2, Alt 3/4 or the Main mix through the FireWire
interface to the computer.
38. FireWire Trim Control and Indicator
This trim control can be used to adjust the level of the
outgoing FireWire signal from channel 9/10 (which
will be received by the computer). If the input signals
received by your computer are noticeably excessive,
using this control could help to attenuate the signal
to an acceptable degree. The accompanying LED
will illuminate when a connection is established
through the FireWire interface.
39. Control Room Buttons
Engaging any of these four buttons will enable you
to use the signal from any of the corresponding
sources to send to the Control Room mixing bus
and the LED Level Meter for level monitoring. For
instance, pressing FireWire & 2T Rtn button will
allow you to send the 2 Track Return signal and the
signal received through the FireWire interface to the
Control Room Outputs (the level of which will be
visible on the Level Meter), where as the Main L-R
will allow you to use the Main Left/Right signal, the
AUX 1 allows you to use the AUX 1 signal, and the
ALT 3-4 allows you to use the "Alternate" stereo mix
bus signal. You can even use a combination of all
these signals, if need be.

40. Assign to Main Button
When the "Assign to Main" button
is
engaged,
Return and Alternative 3-4 signals
can be selected by using the
corresponding buttons, and are,
intern, sent to the Main L-R and
Control Room mixing buses via
the Control Room / Submix control.
This can come in handy when you
want play a CD during intermission
in a live show, as this allows users
to send the signals from the
FireWire interface, 2T RTN and/or
ALT 3-4 to the main left and right
outputs. If you have the Main L-R
or AUX 1 buttons on the Control
Room Source section engaged,
the corresponding signals will not
be sent to the control room and headphones output
by the use of this button.
41. Control Room / Submix Control
This control is used to adjust the audio level of
the Control Room feed, which is sent to both the
Control Room outputs (for monitoring, acting as
side fill or other purposes) and Phones outputs
(to be used in conjunction with headphones for
monitoring purposes). It also acts as the "Submix"
control, which allows the user to adjust the level of
the signals selected by the Control Room Source
when the Assign to Main button is engaged.
42. Main Level Fader
This 60mm fader is final level control for the main
left and right audio feed, sent to the Main L and R
output.
43. Level Meter
The stereo 8-segment level meter gives an accurate
indication of when audio levels of the selected
Control Room source(s) reach certain levels. It is
suggested for the maximum use of audio to set the
various levels controls so that the Peak LEDs flash
only occasionally (and perhaps it is better if you
ensure the level stays around a pinch below that).
44. +48 Indicator
The +48 Indicator illuminates whenever the Phantom
Power switch is activated.
45. Power Indicator
The Power Indicator will light up when the power of
the mixer is on.
