===Using a stereo mixer with an {{L1}}===

;General principles for connecting a stereo mixer to the mono input  on your {{L1}}. 

[[Image:Mackie1202VLZ4.png|250px|Stereo Mixer]]

The inputs on the  {{Model 1S}}, {{Model II}}, and the [[L1%C2%AE_Compact#Channel_2|Compact Channel 2]] &frac14; inch jack are MONO. Check to see if your mixer has a MONO output. If it does, then use that. 

If your mixer does not have a mono output pan all your inputs to one side (e.g. LEFT) and take the LEFT output and connect that to your {{L1}}.

For best results do '''NOT''' use any kind of Y-adapter to connect stereo outputs from a mixer to a mono input on an {{L1}}. See [[Why_Not_Wye|Why Not Wye]] for details.

==== L1® Inputs ====

=====L1® Model 1S Analog Input=====

[[File:Model II Analog Input Level Green.png|link=Model_1S#Analog_Input|Model 1S Analog Input]] 

# Set the '''Trim''' control on the power stand to the 0 (zero) position.
# Connect the audio source to the Analog Input
# Adjust the volume of the audio source to the maximum output without distortion.
# While playing the source, increase the '''Trim''' level so that the '''Signal/Clip''' indicator glows green or yellow.
# If the '''Signal/Clip''' indicator glows red, decrease the '''Trim''' level so that it glows only green or yellow.


=====Model II Analog Input=====

[[File:Model II Analog Input Level Green.png|link=Model_1S#Analog_Input||Model 1S Analog Input]] 

# Set the '''Trim''' control on the power stand to the 0 (zero) position.
# Connect the audio source to the Analog Input
# Adjust the volume of the audio source to the maximum output without distortion.
# While playing the source, increase the '''Trim''' level so that the '''Signal/Clip''' indicator glows green or yellow.
# If the '''Signal/Clip''' indicator glows red, decrease the '''Trim''' level so that it glows only green or yellow.

=====L1® Compact Channel 2=====
{{Compact Channel 2}}

=== General Principles===

It's easy to make this work. You can pan all your inputs hard LEFT and take the LEFT output and connect that to your {{L1}}. If you have a stereo source and two stereo channels, then you can 

#Run the left side of the stereo source to the left input on one stereo channel,
#Run and the right side of the stereo source to the left side of another stereo channel.
#Pan any other inputs hard left
#Use the left output of mixer and connect that to the {{L1}} Analog input.

Question: Is there a loss of quality when using only one output (e.g. Left only)?  <br>No loss of quality. See [[Mixer Left Output Only]]

==== Connections ====
Where possible use a balanced connection between the mixer output and the L1® input.

Here are a some examples of how you can get a mono output out of your stereo mixer.
