m {{T1}}: {{T1 nl}} inputs will accept a wide range of signals. We have not encountered a normal use where someone needed a pad - even using +4dbU console outputs<ref>MikeZ-at-Bose talks about T1®

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}} or {{Classic}}.
===== &frac14; Inch Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced) to &frac14; Inch Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced) =====

This should work fine.
 
=====¼ Inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve (balanced) to ¼ Inch  Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced)  =====

This should work fine.

This should also work, but likely no better than a simple ¼ Inch Tip-Sleeve to Tip-Sleeve  cable. This is because the ¼ Inch  input on the Bose System is Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced) anyway.


===== XLR to XLR  =====
==== XLR to XLR  ====


The XLR inputs for Channels 1 and 2 are intended for microphone level inputs. <br>

This is the same kind of cable you would use to connect a microphone.


*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.<br>

*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]].
