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}}.

=====Compact Channel 2=====
The Compact is different from the Model 1S and Model II because it can accept stereo inputs on the Channel 2 1/8" and RCA inputs.
; Stereo Inputs on Compact Channel 2
If have RCA outputs from your mixer you can connect to the Compact Channel 2 RCA inputs. It's likely that the RCA outputs on the mixer are recording outputs and you may have control the output level separate from the mixer master faders. Please see your manual for details.
 
If you have a way to convert the mixer stereo output to 1/8" stereo jack then you can connect to Compact Channel 2 1/8" stereo input.
