# 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
# 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. This leaves channels 1 and 2 open for other sound sources
# 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)

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
