;Balanced connections.
For best results use a &frac14; inch jack Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable from the T1® to the F1 Model 812.

== {{T1 nl}} Considerations ==
=== {{T1 nl}} to F1 Model 812 (not F1 Subwoofer) ===
{{F1 icon}}{{t1 icon}} 
If you have an F1 Subwoofer you will have more flexibility with the sound output if you connect the {{t1}} to the F1 Model 812 instead of the F1 Subwoofer. Then connect the  F1 Model 812 LINE OUT to the F1 Subwoofer.

=== {{T1 nl}} with {{l1}} as stage monitor with F1 Model 812 as Front of House ===
{{F1 icon}}{{Model II icon}} {{t1 icon}} 
Connecting the T1® to the F1 Model 812 Channel&nbsp;1, you can control the relative loudness of the  F1 Stack (F1 Model 812 with F1 Subwoofer) to your {{L1}}  with the F1 Model 812 Channel 1 Volume Control. If you are running the T1® Master at a relatively low volume because you don't need much volume from the L1® you can set the Signal Input switch to MIC instead of Line Level if you need more volume from the F1.  You will not harm the system by doing this. You can also turn up the F1 Channel 1 Volume until you are seeing long red flickers (up to 1 second). If you are seeing solid red, then turn the Volume control down.

=== {{t1 nl}} Master Volume ===
If you want to run the T1® full output without it being affected by the T1® Master Volume see [[T1® Audio Engine / Master Output Pre / Post]]

== Mono Connection ==
This describes how you can run an {{Model II}} or {{Model 1S}} with a {{T1}} and run one or more {{F1}}s at the same time.


To connect a {{T1}} to an {{F1}} you will run a cable from the T1® Master Output to the {{F1}} Channel 1 or Channel 2 1/4 input. Use a  ¼ Inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve to ¼ Inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable.

You can connect a second F1 Model 812 with an XLR cable from the first F1 Model 812 Line Out to Channel 1 on the second F18.


'''For best results use a balanced connection

; ¼ Inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve to ¼ Inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve'''

A balanced connection is preferred and will provide better noise rejection over greater distances than the unbalanced connection. 

[[Image:TrsMtrsM.png|600px]]

The output from the T1® is balanced mono, as are the XLR and &frac14; inch inputs on the F1 System. Use a &frac14; inch jack Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable to make a balanced connection. If you use a &frac14; inch jack Tip-Sleeve cable you will be making an unbalanced connection (-6dB less gain than a balanced connection).

=== XLR connection from F1 Model 812 Line Out to second F1 Model 812 Channel 1 ===
Use an ordinary microphone cable to connect the first F1 Model 812 to the second one.

=== General settings ===
* Turn the volume off for any channels you are not using. In the diagram above, you would turn off channel 2 for both F1 systems.
* On the first F1, set the Level Control to MIC
* On the second F1, set the Level Control to LINE
* Set the volume on the second F1 to 10:00 o'clock. Then adjust the volume on the second F1 to match the output of the first F1 (if necessary). It's likely, you will have the volume on the second F1 lower than the first. That is normal.
** Note: The volume control on the first F1 will raise and lower the volume on the second F1
  

=== Using an F1 Subwoofer ===
Run the F1 Model 812  Line Out to the F1 Subwoofer Channel 1 Input.

== Master / Monitor ==
=== No L1® Model II or Model 1S for Monitor ===
Consider running a {{Compact}} for your monitor.

Your signal path would be T1® Master Output to Compact to F1 Model 812. Note: When you change the volume on the {{Compact}} it will affect the volume to the F1 Model 812 

-=OR=-

You can take a line from the end of the F1 signal chain to a {{Compact}} or third party monitor. This will allow you to change the volume on the {{Compact}} or monitor without affecting the volume on the F1 Model 812.

=== T1® Aux to Monitor ===

You can use the T1 Aux output to run a separate signal to your monitor.
See [[T1 ToneMatch® Audio Engine / Aux]] for details.

The {{Compact}} can be used for a monitor.

== Stereo Connection ==
If you have to split a stereo signal to T1® Master and T1® Aux see a detailed article [[T1 ToneMatch® Audio Engine / Stereo Output to Two F1 Systems]].

Here is a quick overview.

'''For best results use a balanced connections

A balanced connection is preferred and will provide better noise rejection over greater distances than the unbalanced connection.

The output from the T1® is balanced mono, as are the XLR and &frac14; inch inputs on the F1 System. Use a &frac14; inch jack Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable to make a balanced connection. If you use a &frac14; inch jack Tip-Sleeve cable you will be making an unbalanced connection (-6dB less gain than a balanced connection). 

=== XLR connection from F1 Model 812 Line Out to second F1 Channel 1 ===
Use an ordinary microphone cable to connect the first F1 Model 812 to the second one. 

=== Using F1 Subwoofers ===
Run the F1 Model 812  Line Out to the F1 Subwoofer Channel 1 Input.
