== Connections Overview ==
The L1 Model II Analog Inputs are 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve balanced inputs. 

Most modern mixers have [[Balanced vs Unbalanced|balanced]] outputs. Please refer to the owners guide for your mixer to determine if the outputs are balanced.

'''XLR''' inputs are balanced.<br>[[File:Yamaha mg10xu outputs XLR.jpg|300px]]

or 

'''1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve''' inputs are balanced and usually marked as balanced if they are.<br>[[File:Yamaha mg10xu outputs 14trs.jpg|300px]]

If your mixer has both kinds of outputs, use whichever is most convenient for you. There is no advantage to one over the other.
