~~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.~~

~~;Don't connect Line-Level sources (e.g., many mixer outputs) to the XLR Inputs (Inputs 1 and 2) on the L1 Pro.~~

:Connecting a line-level source (such as mixer output) to a mic-level input will cause the sound to be loud and distorted because the line signal is much stronger than what the mic input will accept. Inputs and outputs on many mixers are switchable for either mic or line-level operation. If the mixer has the option to switch the output to mic-level, then you can use the XLR inputs on the L1 Pro.

;~~You~~ can ~~use~~ the ~~XLR inputs with~~ line-level ~~sources~~

;Compatibility with Line-Level sources (e.g., many mixer outputs) to the XLR Inputs (Inputs 1 and 2) on the L1 Pro.

~~:but~~ you ~~may find that~~ the L1 Pro ~~input channel clips easily~~. ~~If this happens~~, ~~reduce~~ the ~~volume~~ or use the 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve inputs instead.

Inputs and outputs on many mixers are switchable for either mic or line-level operation. If the mixer has the option to switch the output to mic-level, then you can use the XLR inputs on the L1 Pro. Otherwise, you may have to turn down the output of the mixer or the input on the L1 Pro or use the 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve inputs instead.
