~~Note~~

; Volume Setting

: The volume settings on the first Compact will raise and lower the output to the second L1® Compact. Set the volumes on the first L1® Compact and then bring up the level on the second L1® Compact to set the relative volumes between the two systems. If you set the volume controls of the first and second Compacts to the same level, the second L1® Compact could be louder.

; Use a balanced (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) cable if possible.

: If you use an unbalanced cable (Tip-Sleeve) between the first and second L1 Compact, you will have a lower signal to noise ratio than using a balanced cable (Tip-Ring-Sleeve). This means you will have more noise, and because you will have to turn up the volume on the second L1 Compact~~. Thus, more noise and~~ you will be amplifying it.

; Hum or noise

* Make sure you are using a balanced cable between the two L1 Compacts (1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve)

* If possible, both L1 Compacts should be connected to the same power source (e.g., power bar or AC outlet)

* If using a laptop, try running it on battery only. Some laptop power supplies can be very noisy

* Check the connection to the first L1 Compact to avoid sources of hum or line noise (poor or incorrect cable connections)
