Connection: Stereo Mini (headphone or line-out source) to two Mono ¼ inch  

Plug this into your MP3 Player/computer/minidisk/iPod (headphone or line out jack) (black end to MP3 Player) and coloured ends to PS1 Power Stand (Classic) / Model I Channels 1 and 2 OR Channels 3 and 4.

If you cannot locate a cable like the one above, you can accomplish the same thing with the combined cable and adaptors below.

and attach each coloured end to one of these, then connect to any of the ¼ inch inputs for L1 Model I or L1 Classic Channels 1/2/3/4. If you are using a T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine then you can use Channels 1,2,3 or 4/5.

If you are using the this kind of source as backing tracks, you will probably run these two connections to L1 Model I or L1 Classic Channels 3 and 4. In this case you will need to control volume and tone control from the sound source. You will not have much control through the L1 .

If you are using a T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine you will probably use Channel 4/5.

If you prefer not to use two Channels you can use this (occasionally controversial approach of summing to mono without electronics to support it). This approach let's you merge both Stereo outputs to a single output. You can run this to Channel 2 and control it with the R1 Remote. The controversy arises because you are connecting two outputs together. See Why NOt Wye.

(With at T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine Channel 4/5 makes it easy to use two inputs and control them as a single channel 4/5. The follow note applies only to the L1 Model I and L1 Classic

Attach coloured ends to this:

Male (pointy) end then plugs into

Channel 1 or 2 (allows control of tone and relative volume from R1 Remote)

-= or =-

Channel 3 or 4 (control from music source)

Since the L1 is mono, there is no particular reason to use two channels.
