1.1 Before installing
To ensure that HelixNet Partyline delivers the desired performance, review the cable specifications for the
venue or application space before installing. To safely interface two-wire and four-wire audio source with

HMS-4X Main Station.

HelixNet Partyline operates at a different voltage than two-wire partyline
systems (such as Clear-Com Encore or PL-Pro).
Do not connect any analog two-wire
partyline equipment to the Main Station powerlines as severe damage may occur.
