INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Helix Board 12
FireWire MKII, one of Phonic's newest mixers that
sounds great and works hard both in and out of the
studio. The mixer features a FireWire interface that
can stream up to 10 independent channels of audio
to the computer and return two tracks for monitoring,
all at screaming fast transfer rates of up to 24-bit/96
kHz. An onboard 40-bit digital multi-effect processor
provides 100 popular programs plus tap delay, test-
tones and foot switch jacks.
There are 4 extremely low noise Mic preamps, each
with phantom power, spread across four mono
channels and two stereo channels, each featuring
a 3-band EQ. Additional features include two AUX
sends, two stereo AUX returns, an extra ALT 3-4
stereo mixing bus, Steinberg Cubase LE workstation
software and an optional rack mounting kit.
We know how eager you are to get started – wanting
to get the mixer out and hook it up to your computer
is probably your number one priority right now – but
before you do, we strongly urge you to take a look
through this manual. Inside, you will find important
instructions and warnings on the set up, use and
applications of your brand new mixer. If you do
happen to be one of the many people who flatly
refuse to read user manuals, then we just urge
you to at least glance at the Instant Setup section.
After glancing at or reading through the manual
(we applaud you if you do read the manual in its
entirety), please store it in a place that is easy for
you to find, because chances are there's something
you missed the first time around.
