GETTING STARTED

1. Before following the 'Getting Started' section of this
manual, be sure to install the Helix Board's driver on
your PC or Mac. Mac users do not require a driver
when using the FireWire interface, however instructions
on setting the unit up on a PC can be found on page
13.
2. Ensure all power is turned off on your mixer. To totally
ensure this, the AC cable should not be connected to
the unit.
3. All faders and level controls should be set at the
lowest level and all channels switched off to ensure no
sound is inadvertently sent through the outputs when
the device is switched on. All levels can be altered to
acceptable degrees after the device is turned on.
4. Plug all necessary instruments and equipment into the
device's various inputs as required. This may include
line signal devices, such as keyboards and drum
machines, as well as microphones and/or guitars,
keyboards, etc.
5. Plug any necessary equipment into the device's various
monitors, signal processors, and/or recording devices.
6. Plug the supplied AC cable into the AC inlet on the back
of the device and a power outlet of a suitable voltage.
7. Turn the power switch on.
8. Consult the FireWire / USB section of this manual
for more information on its setup and usage. When
connecting the Helix Board to the computer, be sure to
USB cable and turn the Helix Board on.

CHANNEL SETUP

1. To ensure the correct audio level of the input channel
is selected, each of the Mixer's Channel's ON
buttons should be disengaged (which should turn the
corresponding LED indicator off), as well as the Solo
buttons on each channel and all buttons in the Control
Room Source section, with exception to the Main L/R
button.
2. Ensure the channel you wish to set has a signal
sent to it similar to the signal that will be sent when
in common use. For example, if the channel has a
microphone connected to it, then you should speak or
sing at the same level the performer normally would
during a performance; if a guitar is plugged into the
channel, then the guitar should also be strummed as it
normally would be (and so on). This ensures levels are
completely accurate and avoids having to reset them
later.
3. Move the Channel fader and Master fader to around
the 0 dB mark.
4. Turn the Channel ON.
5. Pushing the channel's Solo button and releasing the
Pre/Post button on the CTRL RM section will send the
pre-fader signal of the activated channel to the Control
Room / Phones mixing bus and the Level Meter will
display the Control Room's signal properties.
6. Set the gain so the level meter indicates the audio level
is around 0 dB (it is advisable to never let the level
exceed 7 dB).
7. This channel is now ready to be used; you can stop
making the audio signal.
8. You can now repeat the same process for other
channels if you wish.
