The L1 Pro channel 1 and 2 inputs use Combo Jacks (XLR and 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve or 1/4 inch (6.3mm) Tip-Sleeve. The XLR inputs are MIC level inputs.

Line Level Sources:

* L1 Pro Line Out

* S1 Pro+ Line Out

=== Pad between {{Model II}} and {{A1}} ===

If you are using a {{Model II}} with a {{B2}} and an {{A1}}, you may find that the Red LED on the {{A1}} lights up earlier than expected. You can put a 10 dB Pad between the Model II Power Stand Bass Line Out and the {{A1}} input.

Unfortunately most Pads have XLR connectors, so you may need to get some Tip-Ring-Sleeve to XLR adapters to make all the connections.
