| | {{Classic}} is the name now used to describe the first {{L1 CR}} introduced in the United States, in October 2003. |
| Introduced in 2003, this remained in production until 2007 when the {{Model I}} was introduced. Visually and [[{{PAGENAME}}#Acoustic_Output:_Comparing_the_L1.C2.AE_Classic__and_L1.C2.AE_Model_I|acoustically almost identical]], the main differences were:

| :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.
