The inputs on the  {{Model 1S}}, {{Model II}}, and the [[L1%C2%AE_Compact#Channel_2|Compact Channel 2]] are MONO. 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.
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}}.
