==Using a stereo mixer with an {{L1}}==
===Using a stereo mixer with an {{L1}}===


Here are some examples of connecting a stereo mixer to the mono input  on your {{L1}}.  
;General principles for connecting a stereo mixer to the mono input  on your {{L1}}.

The inputs on the  {{Model 1S}} or {{Model II}} or the [[L1%C2%AE_Compact#Channel_2|Compact Channel 2]] are MONO.
The inputs on the [[Mixer to L1 Pro|L1 Pro Input 3]], {{Model 1S}}, {{Model II}}, and the [[L1%C2%AE_Compact#Channel_2|Compact Channel 2]] &frac14; inch jack are MONO. Check to see if your mixer has a MONO output. If it does, then use that.  


If your mixer does not have a mono output pan all your inputs to one side (e.g. LEFT) and take the LEFT output and connect that to your {{L1}}.
For best results do '''NOT''' use any kind of Y-adapter to connect stereo outputs from a mixer to a mono input on an {{L1}}. See [[Why_Not_Wye|Why Not Wye]] for details.

#Use the left output of mixer and connect that to the {{L1}} mono input.
#Use the left output of mixer and connect that to the {{L1}} Analog input.
 
Question: Is there a loss of quality when using only one output (e.g. Left only)?  <br>No loss of quality. See [[Mixer Left Output Only]]
 
==== Connections ====
Where possible use a balanced connection between the mixer output and the L1® input.
