6 Headphone Output. Plug your headphones in
here. If you are using headphones with a headset
microphone, plug the green plug from the Y-adapter
that is usually included with your headphones.
You may also need to use the included 1/4” to 1/8”
adapter. Do not use a TRRS plug; it will not work.
7 Analog Input. If you’d like to use your Hel as an
amplier for another analog source (like, if you still
have a phone with a headphone jack), plug it in
here with a 1/8” stereo TRS plug.
1 Volume Knob. Turn up til you smile, but not until
your ears bleed.
2 Microphone Level. If you’re using a mic, turn up
til people can hear you, but not until you sound like
you have a 4-pack-a-day cigarette habit.
3 Microphone Input. If you’re using a headset
microphone, connect it using the pink plug on the
Y-adapter that is usually included with your head-
phones. Do not use a TRRS jack; it will not work.
Note: Some games will need you to set
sound preferences for best results. See
schiit.com/guides/gaming for more information.
4 Input Select. Up to hear the USB input, down to
hear the analog input on the back panel.
5 Gain Select. Up for louder, down for quieter (or if
you are using the line output on the back panel.)
