L1 Model II Analog Input
The Analog input is a ¼ inch balanced input jack.
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.
- Set the Trim control on the power stand to the 0 (zero) position.
- Connect the source device Main Output to the Analog Input
- Adjust the volume of the source device Main Output to the maximum output without distortion.
- On analog consoles this may be marked as unity or 0 dB.
- On digital consoles this may be marked as -18 dBFS[1]<ref>dBU vs dBFS. The exact value (-18 dBFS to -24 dBFS) may vary depending your location.
- While playing the source, increase the Trim level so that the Signal/Clip indicator glows green or yellow. This will probably be around 9:00-11:00 o'clock
- If the Signal/Clip indicator glows red, decrease the Trim level so that it glows only green or yellow.
