T8S to L1 Pro

T8S ToneMatch mixer to one or two L1 Pro

There are several ways to connect a T8S ToneMatch mixer to one or two L1 Pro.

The images here show connections to the L1 Pro32, but are equally applicable to the L1 Pro8 and L1 Pro16.

T8S to Single L1 Pro

There is a single ToneMatch port on the T8S ToneMatch mixer. You can use this

• To connect to an L1 Pro ToneMatch Port using a ToneMatch Cable
  

  ToneMatch cable
  or Network Cable
  

  Network cable
  • Note: The maximum length of the network cable is 50 feet.
  • Note: This is the mixer LEFT output. Anything panned hard RIGHT will not be heard.

All of the Analog outputs (XLR or 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve) still function while using the ToneMatch Port.

To run stereo, connect the second powered loudspeaker to one of the T8S ToneMatch mixer RIGHT Outputs (XLR or 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve) to the second L1 Pro Input three. You can use an XLR to XLR cable. However, you may need to turn down the channel volume level to match the input sensitivity to the signal level.

Alternate connection

• ToneMatch port on the T8S ToneMatch mixer to ToneMatch Power Supply for power and use the Analog Outputs (XLR or 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve) to the L1 Pro Input three. DO NOT USE an XLR to XLR cable. The output of the T8S ToneMatch mixer outputs is too hot for the L1 Pro XLR inputs.

ToneMatch Port and 1/4 inch (6.3 mm)

1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve

This assumes that you are powering the T8S with the ToneMatch Power Supply.

XLR

1. Connect your audio sources (instruments or microphones) to the inputs on the ToneMatch mixer
2. Connect the T8S power supply from the Power port of the T8S to a power outlet
3. Connect an XLR cable from the Main Out R port of the mixer to the right-side L1 system
   • Tip: If connecting to channels 1 or 2 on the second system, set the ToneMatch selector for that channel to OFF
4. Connect an XLR cable from the Main Out L port of the mixer to the left-side L1 system.
   • Tip: If connecting to channels 1 or 2 on the second system, set the ToneMatch selector for that channel to OFF.

T8S ToneMatch mixer to Two Single L1 Pro Mono Daisy Chain

Connect the T8S ToneMatch mixer to the first L1 Pro

Then connect the output of the first L1 Pro to the second L1 Pro

L1 Pro

To connect two L1 Pro systems (daisy chain) to use the second system as an extension of the first

1. Use an XLR female to 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve to connect the L1 Pro Line Out to a second L1 Pro (any model) input three

1. Turn down the volume on the second L1 Pro
2. Set the level you want on the first L1 Pro
3. Set the volume on the second L1 Pro to suit the application
4. Note: Running two L1 Pros daisy chained in close proximity offer little tangible benefit and can cause issues with multiple source interference. See Dual Mono for details.

Note

The Line Out is post-fader. That is, it is the combined signal of all inputs and ToneMatch processing, EQ and Reverb. That includes inputs, 1, 2, 3, Bluetooth, and ToneMatch Port (used for T4S/T8S ToneMatch® Mixers).

The Line Out is pre-System EQ. That is, the signal at the Line Out is flat. It is not affected by the setting of the System EQ switch.

This applies to any two L1 Pro systems (L1 Pro8, L1 Pro16, L1 Pro32).

Second L1 Pro Louder than the First

Because the output level of the first L1 Pro Line Out is post-fader (see above) is higher than the original source. If you set the volume controls on the second L1 Pro to the same settings as the first L1 Pro, the second one will be louder. To get the levels the same,

1. Turn down the volume on the second L1 Pro
2. Set the level you want on the first L1 Pro
3. Set the volume on the second L1 Pro to suit the application. Do that by ear.

Dual Mono

When you run the same sound through two L1 systems, you should consider the consequences, both good and bad. See Dual Mono for details.
