=== Pad between L1 Pro XLR Inputs and Line Level Source === | |||
The L1 Pro channel 1 and 2 inputs use Combo Jacks (XLR and 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve or 1/4 inch (6.3mm) Tip-Sleeve. The XLR inputs are MIC level inputs. If you want to connect a Line Level source, you may clip or overload the L1 input, or have trouble controlling the volume. Use a Pad to attenuate (lower) the signal for a better match if using the XLR inputs. | |||

=== Pad between {{Model II}} and {{A1}} === | |||
If you are using a {{Model II}} with a {{B2}} and an {{A1}}, you may find that the Red LED on the {{A1}} lights up earlier than expected. You can put a 10 dB Pad between the Model II Power Stand Bass Line Out and the {{A1}} input. | |||
Unfortunately, most Pads have XLR connectors, so you may need to get some Tip-Ring-Sleeve to XLR adapters to make all the connections. | |||
