; Kemper Outputs summary
* All XLR outputs are balanced, line-level
* All 1/4-inch outputs are unbalanced, line-level
; L1 Pro Inputs summary
* All XLR inputs are balanced, microphone level (not a good match for the Kemper XLR outputs)
* All 1/4-inch inputs 
** Tip-Ring-Sleeve inputs are balanced, line-level (best match for line-level sources)
** Tip-Sleeve inputs are unbalanced, instrument-level

MAIN OUTPUT L and R: XLR balanced, %-inch TS unbalanced with ground lift, output level: XLR +4 dBu, TS +4 dBu
 
MONITOR OUTPUT: %-inch TS unbalanced with ground lift, output level: +4 dBu
 
DIRECT OUTPUT/SEND: %-inch TS unbalanced with ground lift, output level: +4 dBu, output dynamic range: >108 dB

* Use XLR Female to 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve cables (XLR to Kemper, 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve to L1 Pro)


;Short answer for short cable runs [[File:TSUnbalanced.jpg|thumb]]
* Use 1/4 inch (6.3mm) Tip-Sleeve to 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Sleeve cables from any Kemper 1/4-inch output to any L1 Pro 1/4-inch input

:Connecting a line-level source (such as mixer output) to a mic-level input will cause the sound to be loud and distorted because the line signal is much stronger than what the mic input will accept. Inputs and outputs on many mixers are switchable for either mic or line-level operation. If the mixer has the option to switch the output to mic-level, then you can use the XLR inputs on the L1 Pro.
