==== ¼ inch jack inch to ¼ inch  ====
<table><tr><td valign="top">
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.

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.

*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>

*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]].

*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. We have not encountered a normal use where someone needed a pad - even using +4dbU console outputs<ref>MikeZ-at-Bose talks about T1® inputs in [http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7521050644/m/3931088695?r=1631099695#1631099695 T1® Audio Engine Questions]</ref>


=== {{T1}}  ===
*If you have the option to run ¼ inch to ¼ inch, you could use T1® Channels 4/5. This would leave more channels available for use with microphones and instruments with lower output levels.
