===  Why does an {{L1}} Model II power stand contain only a single analog input? ===
This information originally prepared by {{Bose}} and may be published on their  
The {{L1}} Model II system provides a single analog input suitable for many applications and compatible with standard mixers, DJ mixers, laptops and other devices. This enables the layout of the power stand to be less cluttered, with no unnecessary connectors. The end result is a clean, compact and efficient design.<br></p> <p> For musicians who need more inputs, our multichannel T1 ToneMatch® audio engine is designed to work with an {{L1}} Model II system via a simple digital connection. It offers three mic/line inputs, two line inputs (L/R), our largest library of ToneMatch presets, proprietary zEQ and a complete suite of studio-class effects and processing.
 
=== What's the proper method for setting the gain on a Model II power stand when connected to an analog source? ===
While playing your instrument or audio source as loudly as you would in performance, adjust the trim level on the power stand until you see the LED go from yellow to red. Then back the trim level off until the signal LED is predominantly yellow with brief peaks into red.
 
===What's the proper method for setting the gain on a Model II power stand when connected to a T1 ToneMatch audio engine? ===
Set the output volume of your source to normal operating volume. Make sure the master volume and channel volume on the ToneMatch audio engine are set to 0. While playing your instrument or audio source as loudly as you would in performance, turn the appropriate channel's trim control clockwise until the signal/clip indicator glows green or yellow. If the indicator flashes red or glows steady red, turn the trim control counterclockwise to decrease the level.

=== Can I use the system outside? ===
=== Can I use the system outside? ===
<section begin=temperature />
Yes.  You may use your system for outdoor gigs, provided that it is protected from extreme elements. The system has been tested to operate in 0°C to 50°C temperatures and be stored in -30°C to 70°C temperatures. In cases of light rain outside, take precautions to cover the back panel of the power stand. Water must not get into the air inlet slits inside the back panel, on the loudspeaker drivers or inside the L1™ cavity on the power stand.
