|question = Can I use the recommended XLR → ¼″ (6.3 mm) Tip‑Ring‑Sleeve cables from the mixer to L1 Pro channels 1 and/or 2?
|answer = Yes, although using channel 3 is simpler and leaves channels 1 and 2 open for other inputs.
If you can't get a mono signal from the mixer, you can run the left and right outputs into L1 Pro channels 1 and 2, but since the L1 Pro is a mono device, there's no benefit to using two channels (which ultimately get summed to mono anyway).
