To connect a mixer to an L1 Pro

;For best results, connect the output(s) of a mixer to the line-level inputs of the L1 Pro.

Most mixers have line-level outputs. The L1 Pro line-level inputs are the 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve jacks on channels 1, 2, 3.

Line 12:

The nomenclature of "line" is from "telephone line." When the telephone network was being developed in the early 20th century, the nominal level of a telephone signal as it travelled along telephone cables was around 1 volt. So, 1 volt was a "line level" signal. <ref> [https://service.shure.com/s/article/mic-level-and-line-level-what-do-they-mean? Mic Level and Line Level and What Do They Mean?]</ref>

=== Mixer Outputs ===

If the mixer has 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve outputs, use 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve cables to connect to the L1 Pro line-level inputs.

If the mixer has XLR outputs, use XLR Female to 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve cables to connect to the L1 Pro line-level inputs.

=== Mixer to Single L1 Pro ===

If you are connecting microphones or instruments to your L1 Pro, and you want to add a mixer to your system, you will want to connect the mixer to L1 Pro input 3 using the 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve jack.

You will want to get a mono output from the mixer to connect to the single input jack on input 3. For tips on how to do that see: [[Stereo Mixer to Mono L1]]

=== Mixer to Two L1 Pro ===

Connect the mixer Left Output to one L1 Pro input 3 using the 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve jack.

Connect the mixer Right Output to the other L1 Pro input 3 using the 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve jack.
