WELCOME TO HEL+
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
headphones. Do not use a TRRS plug; it will not work.
4 Input Select. Toggle up to hear the USB input, down to hear the optical
input.
5 Gain Select. Up for louder, down for quieter. Middle is mid gain.
Simple as that.
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 Preamp Output. Plug this in to your powered monitors (or a power amp)
using a 1/8″ TRS to dual RCA cable.
8 Optical Input. Connect to a smart TV or other device with an optical
output. Some smart TVs will need to be set to “Stereo” or “Two-Channel PCM”
for this to work.
9 USB Power Input. Hel+ NEEDS a power input from the supplied 2.1A wall-
wart. Connect this with one of the provided micro USB cables.
10 USB Data Input. Connect this to your USB source using the provided
cable, or with another USB 2.0-rated, high-quality USB cable.
11 Power Switch. Up is on, down is off. It needs to be on for your
computer to see Hel+.
HEL+ OPERATION
No drivers are needed for Windows 10/11, Mac, iOS, Android, and Linux distros supporting UAC2.
For game consoles, select “Schiit Hel+” for both the headphone/speaker out and microphone input.
For PCs and Macs, select “Schiit Hel+” in Control Panel/Sound Devices (PC) or in System Prefs/ Sound (Mac) for both audio output and mic input.
On some devices, the music player software will also need to be set to “Schiit Hel+” separately, and some games may need to set NOT to take over the mic level, but other than that, it’s smooth sailing.
That’s it! Enjoy the game, a movie, or music!
