ELEMENT

Headphone amp Cabsim

One comprehensive device, that out of the box offers a bank of 5 cabinet simulations, and the ability to change them through the Darkglass Suite, Bluetooth technology to listen to backing tracks while playing, rehearsing, or studying. Two headphone outputs to allow interaction among musicians. XLR output to connect the Element to your audio interface or PA system. With a uniquely innovative approach, the Element provides in one device an immensely practical tool to empower modern musicians.

Phones

Two touch sensitive volume control sliders, one for each headphone output.

Blend

A touch sensitive slider to set the blend between the main input (Intrument/Amp in) and the backing track (Bluetooth/Aux in) for the headphone out mix.

USB

One USB-C port for transferring impulse responses and firmware XLR outputupdates

Aux In

ou can connect the line/headphone out of your laptop/keyboard/mixer etc. into the 3.5 mm aux input on the Element.

DIMENSIONS

Width: 64 mm (2.95 in) | Height: 111 mm (4.37 in) | Depth : 35 mm (1,77 in)

Element with your pedalboard

Connect your instrument to your pedalboard as you normally would and add theElementat the end of the signal chain. Use the input labelled INSTRUMENT IN on theElementYou can now choose the impulse response from slots 1-5 or the bypass signal. From here the signal is passed through to the XLR output and via the blend and volume controls to the headphone outputs.

Element with your amplifier and speaker cabinet

Note:TheElementdoes NOT act as a loadbox! Always make sure your amplifier is connected to a suitable load!!!

TheElementis built to work with amplifiers with a maximum output of 900 Watts. For the safest operation it is advised to connect theElementafter your speaker cabinet from your speaker cabinets parallel output connector. Use the input labelled AMP IN on theElement. You can now choose the impulse response from slots 1-5 or the bypass signal. From here the signal is passed through to the XLR output and via the blend and volume controls to the headphone outputs.

In case the amplifiers output is maximum 100 Watts, theElementcan be connected between the amplifier and the speaker cabinet. Use the input labelled AMP IN for the amplifier and the output labelled SPEAKER OUT to connect the speaker cabinet to theElement. You can now choose the impulse response from slots 1-5 or the bypass signal. From here the signal is passed through to the XLR output and via the blend and volume controls to the headphone outputs.

If you are using a Darkglass amplifier with a class D poweramp you have the option to connect the amplifier straight to theElementwithout using a speaker cabinet or an external load. Use the input labelled AMP IN on theElement. You can now choose the impulse response from slots 1-5 or the bypass signal. From here the signal is passed through to the XLR output and via the blend and volume controls to the headphone outputs.
