|question = Can I use the recommended XLR → ¼″ (6.3 mm) Tip‑Ring‑Sleeve cables from ~~the~~ mixer to L1 Pro channels 1 and/or 2?

|question = Can I use the recommended XLR → ¼″ (6.3 mm) Tip‑Ring‑Sleeve cables from my mixer to L1 Pro channels 1 and/or 2?

|answer = Yes, although using channel 3 is simpler and leaves channels 1 and 2 open for other inputs.

{{FAQItem

|question = If XLR and 1/4-inch (6.5 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve connections are both capable of supporting a balanced connection, why does it matter if I use one or the other?

|answer = While both can support a balanced connection, '''on the Bose L1 Pro''' the:

* XLR inputs are optimized for MIC-level sources

* Tip-Ring-Sleeve inputs are optimized for Line-Level sources

Connecting Line-level sources to the XLR inputs can cause clipping, distortion, or the inability to set an appropriate volume level. See the [[Mixer to L1 Pro]] for more details.

{{FAQItem

|question = Why are the 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve Inputs on channels 1 and 2 louder than the 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve Input on Channel 3

|answer = By design, the input sensitivity on channel 3 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve is lower than on channels 1 and 2, so that when using line-level inputs, channel 3 is less likely to clip. You can get the same output from channel 3, but you may have to turn up the volume control higher to do it. You are most likely to notice this difference when connecting a third-party mixer to the L1 Pro. For more information see [[Mixer to L1 Pro]]

* And this not recommended because of greater susceptibility to line noise

* Up to -6dB loss in signal compared to the preferred balanced connection
