L1 Pro to L1 Model II
To connect an L1 Pro system (any model) to a L1 Model II as an extension of the loudspeaker.
This page describes 'how' to make the connections. Please also see: Stereo / Mono / Distributed Systems to read when and 'why' you would do this.
- Use an XLR female to 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve to connect the L1 Pro Line Out to the L1 Model II Analog Input
- Set the Analog Input Trim to 10:00 o'clock and then adjust to suit the application. If you see solid red on the L1 Model II turn down the Analog Input Trim
- Note
The L1 Pro 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 sends a signal that matches what you hear from the L1 Pro. As you raise or lower the volume (and make other changes to the sound), this changes the output at the Line Out (except as noted in the next paragraph).
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. [1]
This applies to any L1 Pro system (L1 Pro8, L1 Pro16, L1 Pro32).
Note;
- L1 Model II will not necessarily match the volume of the L1 Pro
Because the output level of the L1 Pro Line Out is post-fader (see above) is higher than the original source. If you set the volume control on the L1 Model II to the same settings as the L1 Pro, the L1 Model II may will be louder. Two get the levels the same,
- Turn down the Analog Input Trim on the L1 Model II
- Set the level you want on the L1 Pro
- Set the volume on the L1 Model II to suit the application. Do that by ear.
