| This is a new way to work with the knowledge that we have been building on the {{Forum}}. See [[Why A Wiki]].
| | === [[L1 Pro|L1 Pro Family]] === |
| | {{L1 Pro icon}} |
| | The complete L1 Pro line: L1 Pro8, L1 Pro16, L1 Pro32, plus {{Sub icon}} Sub1 and Sub2. |
|

|
| Interesting features of using a Wiki approach:
| | === [[T4S/T8S ToneMatch® Mixer|ToneMatch Mixers]] === |
| * L1™ System owners can add or edit articles here.
| | {{T4S icon}}{{T8S icon}} |
| * Extremely good search and categorization capability.
| | T4S, T8S, ToneMatch Mixers. |
| == Getting Started == | |
| * Click the links in the menu at the left.
| |
| * Try the search box (just type in a keyword that comes up in the forum and click Search). Terms to try (individual words) Gain Mixer Mono Phase Chris Cliff Hilmar (hint: you can double click a keyword and drag it into the search box. Then click Search).
| |
| * Try the Random page link (just keep clicking it for a fast trip around the wiki).
| |
|
| |
|
| On most pages you will see category links across the bottom. You can try those too.
| | === [[S1 Pro+]] === |
| | {{S1 Pro+ icon}} |
| | Portable, battery‑powered PA system. |
