If you are using a {{Model I}} or {{Classic}} use the [[R1|R1 Remote]] and turn up the '''Low''' setting.

If you have a {{T1}} these settings can be used in conjunction with all of the other suggestions below.

== Connect a Computer to {{T1 nl}} Through USB==

You can connection your computer to a {{t1r}} through USB. The default routing sends the USB from Computer to the Master buss. This works fine, and is the default setting. You will want to use your source computer to control the volume, equalization, effects if any. For more notes about USB see: [[T1 ToneMatch® Audio Engine / USB]].

=== Settings USB from Computer to Channel 4/5 ===

If you want more control then you will want to send USB from Computer to {{t1r}} Channel 4/5.

{{:T1 ToneMatch® Audio Engine / USB / USB from Computer to Channel 4/5}}

=== USB and Channel 4/5 Analog at the same time ===

You can connect the USB input to {{t1r}} Channel 4/5 for a stereo source (computer) AND an analog input to {{t1r}} Channel 4/5 at the same time. While it is unlikely you would play both sources simultaneously, you can raise and lower the outputs at the source. This allows you to control the sources applying {{tm}} Presets, EQ, and volume using the Channel 4/5 Vol control.

<noinclude>See: [[{{PAGENAME}}#Settings USB from Computer to Channel 4/5|Settings USB from Computer to Channel 4/5]] (above) for USB setup and [[{{PAGENAME}}#Analog Connection|Analog Connection]] below.

~~== Mixers ==~~

===~~== XLR to XLR ==~~===

=== Specific Mixers ===

~~The XLR inputs for Channels 1~~ and ~~2 are intended for microphone level inputs~~.

There are several articles related to using specific mixers with the {{Model I}} and {{Classic}}.  Here is a list of what is available: [[Mixer|Mixers and connection recommendations]]

*If your source (mixer or CD/DVD player) has XLR outputs, check to see if you have the ~~option to set it to a microphone level output. If so, use that setting. ~~

== Protecting the {{L1 nl}} components - Cases ==

*If your source has XLR outputs at line-~~level (most likely) then you will probably need a [[Pad]] between the source and the [[Model I nl]] (or [[Classic nl]]) Power Stand. ~~

*You may be able to make things work without the [[Pad]] by turning down the output from the source and turning down the trim at the Power Stand. If it sounds okay then you are probably fine. If you cannot get enough a good sounding signal without an excess of noise then try a [[Pad]].

~~===== ¼ inch jack inch to ¼ inch =====~~

~~If your mixer has ¼ inch jack outputs, these are almost certainly at line-level and should work well with any of the ¼ inch jack inputs (Channels 1, 2, 3, 4) on a~~ {{~~Model I nl~~}} ~~or {{Classic nl}}.~~
