Description
A complete device, ready to use, offering a bank of 5 speaker simulations and the possibility of modifying them via the Darkglass suite, Bluetooth technology for listening to backing tracks while playing, rehearsing or studying. Two headphone outputs to allow interaction between musicians. XLR output for connecting the Element to your audio interface or PA system. With a unique and innovative approach, the Element provides in a single device an extremely practical tool to empower modern musicians.
Connect your instrument to your pedalboard as you normally would and add the element to the end of the signal chain. Use the input marked “INSTRUMENT IN” on the item. You can now choose the impulse responses in slots 1-5 or the bypass signal. From there, the signal is passed to the XLR output and via the mix and volume controls to the headphone outputs.
The Element is designed to work with amplifiers rated up to 900W. For safer operation, it is recommended to connect the Element after your speaker from your speaker's parallel output connector. Use the input marked “AMP IN” on the item. You can now choose the impulse responses in slots 1-5 or the bypass signal. From there, the signal is passed to the XLR output and via the mix and volume controls to the headphone outputs.
If the maximum power of the amplifier is 100 W, the element can be connected between the amplifier and the speaker. Use the input labeled “AMP IN” for the amplifier and the output labeled “SPEAKER OUT” to connect the speaker to the element. You can now choose the impulse responses in slots 1-5 or the bypass signal. From there, the signal is passed to the XLR output and via the mix and volume controls to the headphone outputs.
If you are using a Darkglass amplifier with a Class D power amplifier, you have the option of connecting the amplifier directly to the element without using an external speaker or load. Use the input marked “AMP IN” on the item. You can now choose the impulse responses in slots 1-5 or the bypass signal. From there, the signal is passed to the XLR output and via the mix and volume controls to the headphone outputs.
Features
Telephone(s)
Two touch-sensitive volume control sliders, one for each headphone output.
Blend
A touch slider to adjust the mix between the main input (Instrument/Amp in) and the backing track (Bluetooth/Aux in) for headphone output mixing.
USB
One USB-C port for transferring impulse responses and firmware XLR output updates
Auxiliary input
You can connect the line output/headphones of your laptop/keyboard/mixer, etc. to the Element's 3.5mm auxiliary input.
