;Question: Can I use the {{T1}} with the {{L1PS}}s?
[[File:T1 to L1 Pro.jpg|400px|right]]
;Answer: Yes using two connections
# ToneMatch port supplies power to the {{T1}}
# An analog cable from the {{T1}} Master Output to one of the L1 Pro channels (preferably channel 3)
:; Required
# ToneMatch cable (these were included with the {{T1}}), or network cable (CAT5/6/7) up to 50 feet<br>OR you can use a ToneMatch Power Supply instead of connecting to the {{L1PS}} for power.
# {{14TRS}} cable. This is the preferred cable for best results, but you can use a {{14TS}} cable. You'll be more vulnerable to line noise but if your cable length is less than 20-25 feet, this can work.
;Connections and initial settings
# On the L1 Pro, turn off the system and turn down the volume on all channels
# On the {{T1}}, turn the Master Volume off
# Power: Connect the {{L1P}} ToneMatch port to the {{T1}} ToneMatch port using the ToneMatch cable
# Audio: Connect the {{T1}} Master Output to the {{L1P}} channel 3 unless you are already using it for Bluetooth or another sound source. This leaves channels 1 and 2 open for other sound sources.
#* On channel 3, set Treble and Bass at 12:00 (flat)
#* If you connect to {{L1P}} channel 1 or channel 2
#** On the {{L1P}} channel:
#***Turn off the ToneMatch Preset
#***Turn off Reverb
#***Set Bass and Treble to 12:00 o'clock
#* '''For best results''', use a 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable for a [[Balanced_vs_Unbalanced#Balanced_Connections_Preferred_When_Possible|balanced connection]] [[File:14trstotrs.jpg|200px|right]]
;Power up and gain staging
: Summary: Set the L1 Pro channel volume and the {{T1}} Master Volume to 12:00 o'clock and adjust from there as necessary
;Details
# Turn on the L1 Pro (normally you would turn on the power amplifier last, but you need it turned on to power the {{T1}})
# On the {{T1}}
#* Attach a signal source to one of the {{T1}}, e.g., a microphone
#* Turn on the power
#* Turn up the Trim until you see a solid green light on the channel trim
#* Turn up the channel volume to 12:00 o'clock
# On the L1 Pro
#* Turn up the volume on the channel to which you connected the {{T1}} to 12:00 o'clock
# On the {{T1}}
#* Turn up the Master volume to the desired level
; Why do you need two connections?

Regarding T1 compatibility with the L1 Pro systems: The architecture of the T1 ToneMatch differs from that of the T4S and T8S ToneMatch mixers and is not compatible with the L1 Pro’s S/PDIF audio architecture.

;Question: Why use a {{T1}} with the {{L1PS}}s?
;Answer:
* Use the {{T1}} to add three more XLR/Combo jack inputs and channel 4/5 dual input (combines stereo to mono). You give up the third input on the {{L1PS}} but get four inputs &mdash; a net gain of three inputs
* The L1 Pro32 built-in mixer has ToneMatch Presets, Bass, Treble, and Reverb. <br>
If you already own a {{T1}}:
* The {{T1}} has more tone control options with zEQ, ParaEQ
* The {{T1}} has more fine-grain control for Reverb (Type/Mix/Brite)
* The {{T1}} has more effects: Comp/Gate, Mod, Delay
