| ** Features above support accessing the three amplifiers separately. One application is to drive up to six {{B1}}s from a single Power Stand. See: [[Classic Extended Bass Package]]
| |
| * Units that were shipped with the Version 2 [[Presets/Model I and Classic|Presets]] have a blue ring around the Amp 3 output (for {{B1}}s).
| |
| | |
| This is the Input Panel as it appeared in 2003-5. Units that look like this were shipped with [[Presets 1.0]] installed. An upgrade to [[Presets 2 Upgrade instructions|Presets Version 2.0]] is available and highly recommended.

| :Hi Folks,
| |
| | |
| :Here and in a few other areas, there's been a good discussion about volume levels in the L1 classic vs the Model II.
| |
| | |
| :I think there are two separate issues:
| |
| :# How LOUD can the Model II play vs. the Classic or the Model I?
| |
| :# If you set trim and channel volumes on the T1 similarly to the Classic, will you hear the same sound level?
| |
| | |
| :As to Question 1, The Model II system plays as loud as the Classic or the Model I. Moreover, the Model II is no more or less susceptible to microphone feedback than the Classic of the Model I.
| |
| | |
| :Question 2 is being answered thoroughly in other threads. My take is that the Model II and the Classic are two different products in the same family. There are some differences in how the gain staging is done. The best course in my opinion is on both units to set the trim levels and leave those alone, then use channel and master gain to bring the level to the desired amount. Again, there's no difference in the maximum sound levels.
