~~===~~ Model ~~I and Classic =~~==

~~===== XLR~~ to ~~XLR =====~~

The XLR inputs for Channels 1 and 2 are intended for microphone level inputs. <br>

==Mixer to {{Model I}} and {{Classic}} ==

==== ¼ inch jack inch to ¼ inch ====

If your mixer has ¼ inch jack outputs, these are almost certainly at line-level and should work well with any of the ¼ inch jack inputs (Channels 1, 2, 3, 4) on a {{Model I}} or {{Classic}}. Any of the cables show at the right should work.

===== ¼ Inch Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced) to ¼ Inch Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced) =====

=====¼ Inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve (balanced) to ¼ Inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve (balanced) =====

[[Image:trsMtrsM.png|Tip-Ring-Sleeve to Tip-Ring-Sleeve]]

This should also work, but likely no better than a simple ¼ Inch Tip-Sleeve to Tip-Sleeve cable. This is because the ¼ Inch input on the Bose System is Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced) anyway.

==== XLR to XLR ====

[[Image:XLRXLRMF.png|thumb|XLR to XLR, male to female|right]]

This is the same kind of cable you would use to connect a microphone.

The XLR inputs for Channels 1 and 2 are intended for microphone level inputs. <br>

==== XLR (balanced) to XLR (balanced) ====

*If your source (mixer or CD/DVD player) has XLR outputs, check to see if you have the option to set it to a microphone level output. If so, use that setting.<br>

*If your source has XLR outputs at line-level (most likely) then you will probably need a [[Pad]] between the source and the {{Model}} I}} (or {{Classic}}) Power Stand. <br>

*If your source has XLR outputs at line-level (most likely) then you will probably need a [[Pad]] between the source and the {{Model I}} (or {{Classic}}) Power Stand. <br>

*You may be able to make things work without the [[Pad]] by turning down the output from the source and turning down the trim at the Power Stand. If it sounds okay then you are probably fine. If you cannot get enough a good sounding signal without an excess of noise then try a [[Pad]].

===== ¼ inch jack ~~inch~~ to ~~¼ inch~~ =~~====~~

=== {{Model II}} ===

=== {{T1}} ===

*You can run ¼ inch jack line level inputs to T1® Channels 1,2,3.

*You can probably run XLR line level inputs to the T1® Channels 1,2,3. No [[Pad]] required.

:{{T1 nl}} inputs will accept a wide range of signals.
