* The Model II Analog Input.

** Set the input trim level at "3" and adjust as necessary

** See [[Model_II#Analog_Input| Model II Analog Input]] for more details.

* Compact Channel 2

** Set the ToneMatch® switch to Line Level

** Set the [[Compact#Channel_2 |Compact Channel 2]] Volume so that with the mixer set at maximum volume levels the Compact Signal/OL light does not turn red.

=== XLR Balanced +4 ===

~~''The console produces a standard~~ XLR output level of +4dBu for a meter reading of ‘0’. It can produce a maximum of +26dBu which is more than is usually required and therefore gives you plenty of headroom. If you are connecting to a sensitive power amplifier it is advisable to turn down its input trim control if the normal console level is too high. Simply turning down the console output faders degrades the output stage noise performance and reduces the resolution of the fader movement. The output faders are best operated around ‘-10’ to ‘0’ for loudest average volume required. This allows additional headroom if you need it.''

~~The {{PS1}} XLR inputs are designed for microphone level inputs so the~~ +4 dBu output from this mixer is too high for optimal operation - even with the trims levels set to 0. For best results use a [[Pad]] to more closely match the output of the Allen Heath mixer with the inputs of the {{PS1}}
