Introduction

Recommendation

If you are panning everything up the middle like a traditional front of house setup, set up the L1 systems at least 20 feet (6 meters) apart. If you pan each sound source to only one L1 system, this recommendation does not apply. For more information see: Stereo / Mono / Distributed Systems

Connect a T8S ToneMatch mixer to two L1 Model IIs.

Connect the ToneMatch Power Supply to the T8S ToneMatch mixer for power.

Always use the ToneMatch Power Supply connected to the T8S ToneMatch mixer ToneMatch port.

Do not use the ToneMatch port to connect to a L1 Model II. The T8S ToneMatch mixer draws more power than the L1 Model II can supply.

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

The output from the T8S ToneMatch mixer is a balanced mono 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve and the input on the L1 Model II is a balanced mono 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve so use a cable like this.

1/4" Male TRS to 1/4" Male TRS Cable.

Set the L1 Model II Analog Input Trims to about 9:00 o'clock.

XLR Outputs

Analog input trim (volume, or gain) control

Setting the trim level on the Model II Power Stand is a one-time step. Once you have matched the output of the ToneMatch mixer to the input of the L1 you don't need to adjust it again.

T4S/T8S ToneMatch Mixers
  1. Connect the T8S ToneMatch mixer Main Output to the L1 Model II Analog Input
  2. Set the Analog Input trim to 9:00 o'clock. Control the volume with the Master Volume on the ToneMatch mixer.

    If you set the input trim higher, you will have excessive line noise.
  3. If the Signal/Clip indicator glows red, decrease the Trim level so that it glows only green or yellow.
For third-party mixers
  1. Set the Trim control on the power stand to the 0 (zero) position.
  2. Connect the third-party mixer Main Output to the L1 Model II Analog Input
  3. Adjust the volume of the third-party Main Output to the reference or nominal output level.
    • On analog consoles this may be marked as unity or 0 dB.
    • On digital consoles this may be marked as -18 dBFS[1][2]. The exact value (-18 dBFS to -20 dBFS) may vary depending your location[3].
    • Refer to the manual for the third-party for details.
  4. If the Signal/Clip indicator glows red, decrease the Trim level so that it glows only green or yellow.

Model 1S Analog Input

  1. ↑ dBFS
  2. ↑ dBU vs dBFS
  3. ↑ dBFS Analog Levels
