Yamaha MX12/4

Summary

Simplest thing that could possibly work.


Use the ¼ inch phone jack (Tip-Sleeve) outputs to

or

You can use the XLR Balanced outputs. But you will probably want to use a Pad for each channel.

Outputs

XLR Balanced +4

The nominal output of the XLR Balanced Outputs is too high for the XLR inputs on the PS1 Power Stand Channels 1 and 2. If you want to use balanced cables from the Mixer to Channels 1/2 on the L1 Classic or L1 Model I you may need to use a Pad to lower the signal level from the mixer.

¼ Inch with suitable output

for PS1 Powerstand Channel 1 or 2 inputs

The ¼ inch Console should work fine directly into the PS1 Power Stand (Classic) / Model I Channels 1/2/3/4. Note: this output is Tip-Ring-Sleeve (stereo output) so you will need a Tip-Ring-Sleeve to two Tip-Sleeve patch cord to maintain the separation of the left and right channels.

This Mixer also has Four group outputs (busses). Note that the 'sends' are pre-fader.

You can use TS (Tip Sleeve) unbalanced cables, or TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) balanced cables, but since the ¼ inch phone connections at the Bose Classic and Model I Power Stand are unbalanced there is no particular benefit using balanced cables.

¼ Inch Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced) to ¼ Inch Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced)

Tip-Sleeve to Tip-Sleeve

This should work fine.

¼ Inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve (balanced) to ¼ Inch Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced)

Tip-Ring-Sleeve to Tip-Sleeve

This should work fine.

¼ Inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve (balanced) to ¼ Inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve (balanced)

Tip-Ring-Sleeve to Tip-Ring-Sleeve

This should also work, but likely no better than a simple ¼ Inch Tip-Sleeve to Tip-Sleeve cable. This is because the ¼ Inch input on the Bose System is Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced) anyway.
