Darkglass Electronics 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.
Ā
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 (Instrument/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 output updates
Aux In
You can connect the line/headphone out of your laptop/keyboard/mixer etc. into the 3.5 mm aux input on the Element.
Ā
Element w/ pedalboard
Connect your instrument to your pedalboard as you normally would and add theĀ ElementĀ at the end of the signal chain. Use the input labelled āINSTRUMENT INā on theĀ Element. You can now choose the impulse responses in 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.
Ā
Element w/ amp & speaker cabinet
Note:Ā TheĀ ElementĀ does NOT act as a loadbox! Always make sure your amplifier is connected to a suitable load!!!
TheĀ ElementĀ is built to work with amplifiers with a maximum output of 900 W. For the safest operation, it is advised to connect theĀ ElementĀ after your speaker cabinet from your speaker cabinetās parallel output connector. Use the input labelled āAMP INā on theĀ Element. You can now choose the impulse responses in 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.
Ā
If the amplifierās maximum output is 100 W, theĀ ElementĀ can be connected between the amplifier and the speaker cabinet. Use the input labelled āAMP INā for the amplifier and the output labelled āSPEAKER OUTā to connect the speaker cabinet to theĀ Element. You can now choose the impulse responses in 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.
Ā
If you are using a Darkglass amplifier with a class D poweramp, you have the option to connect the amplifier straight to theĀ ElementĀ without using a speaker cabinet or an external load. Use the input labelled āAMP INā on theĀ Element. You can now choose the impulse responses in 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.

WARNING
NEVER CONNECT AN AMPLIFIER TO āAMP INā SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH AN INSTRUMENT TO āINSTRUMENT INā!!! THIS COULD LEAD TO AN ELECTRIC SHOCK AND ALSO BREAK YOUR PRECIOUS EQUIPMENT!!!
