''The console produces a standard XLR output level of +4dBu for a meter reading of ‘0’. It can produce a maximum of +26dBu which is more than is usually required and therefore gives you plenty of headroom. If you are connecting to a sensitive power amplifier it is advisable to turn down its input trim control if the normal console level is too high. Simply turning down the console output faders degrades the output stage noise performance and reduces the resolution of the fader movement. The output faders are best operated around ‘-10’ to ‘0’ for loudest average volume required. This allows additional headroom if you need it.''

Allen Heath ZED-12FX

Summary

Simplest thing that could possibly work.

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

  • The Model II Analog Input.
  • Compact Channel 2
    • Set the ToneMatch® switch to Line Level
    • Set the Compact Channel 2 Volume so that with the mixer set at maximum volume levels the Compact Signal/OL light does not turn red.

Outputs

¼ Inch with suitable output

for PS1 Powerstand Channel 1 or 2 inputs

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.


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.

{{#Click:Pad|Image:Pad.jpg|Attenuation Pad}}


The PS1 Power Stand (Classic) / Model I XLR inputs are designed for microphone level inputs so the +0 dBu output from this mixer is too high for optimal operation - even with the trims levels set to 0. For best results use a Pad to more closely match the output of the Allen Heath mixer with the inputs of the PS1 Power Stand (Classic) / Model I
