39. AUX 3 / EFX Send Control and Solo Button
This rotary control will adjust the level of the output signal at the
AUX  send jack, as well as determine the amount of audio the
built-in effects processor will receive. When this control is set
to it's minimum position, neither the AUX  send nor the effect
processor will receive a signal. The accompanying Solo button
allows the EFX Send signal to be sent to the Control Room /
Phones mix.
40. To Main Control
The "to Main" control will allow users to adjust the processed
signal that is sent to the Main.
41. To AUX 1/2 Controls
These controls allow users to send the signal processed by the
effects processor to the AUX 1 or 2 mix, allowing for monitoring
of the signal. This is called "Effect to Monitor."

42. AUX Send Controls and Solo Buttons
These two controls are for adjusting the audio level
that is sent to the corresponding AUX outputs,
the signal of which is initially taken from each
channel's individual AUX send controls.
one of the accompanying Solo buttons will send the
corresponding AUX signal to the Control Room /
Phones mix (pre or post fader, depending on the Pre
/ Post button).
43. FireWire Trim Control
This is one of the newest features of the Helix Board 18 FireWire
MKII. The FireWire trim control can be used to adjust the level
of the outgoing FireWire signal (which will be received by the
computer) from the AUX 2/, Group 1/2 or Main L/R (depending
on the FireWire Select switch). If the input signals received by
your computer are noticeably excessive, using this control could
help to attenuate the signal to an acceptable degree.
44. FireWire Select Switch
This switch determines which of the Helix Board's signals will
be used for the FireWire channels 15 and 16 sent through the
FireWire interface to the computer. Users can choose to send
the two channel signal from the Auxiliary 2/, Group 1/2 or Main
mixes (all pre-level controls) to the computer.

45. FireWire "Assign to" Buttons
The Assign to Main and Assign to AUX 1 buttons allow users to
determine the destination of the stereo FireWire return signal.
46. FireWire Indicator
This blue LED indicator will illuminate when a connection is
established through the FireWire interface.
47. +48V Indicator
This indicator will illuminate when Phantom Power is activated.
48. Power Indicator
The Power Indicator will light up when the power of the mixer is
on.
49. Level Meter
This dual 12 segment level meter gives an accurate indication
of when audio levels of the Main L/R output reach certain levels.
The 0 dB indicator illuminates is approximately equal to an output
level of +4 dBu (balanced), and the PEAK indicator illuminates
just before the signal is dynamically clipped. It is suggested that
users set the various levels controls so that the level sits steadily
around 0 dB to make full use of audio, while still maintaining
fantastic clarity.
When the Solo indicator, located beside the Level Meter, is
illuminated, one or more Solo buttons has been pushed. In that
case, the Level meter will display properties of the Solo signal,
which is helpful with setting of channel properties. If Solo indicator
illuminates green, this means the Solo feed is a pre-fader signal.
If the Solo indicator illuminates red, the feed is post-fader. If the
no Solo buttons are activated, the Control Room source signal
properties are displayed by the Level Meter.
