Here's how we came up with the answer:

the manual says:
INPUTS Input 1 is +6db for passive basses and Input 2 is set @ 0db for active basses. NOTE: Inputs are summing, allowing for two instruments of similar outputs to be successfully summed.

This tells me that Input 1 has a hotter signal that Input 2

Hi has always meant hotter or louder. If you have an active pickup setup, the signal is being boosted before it leaves the instrument. So it makes sense that you would use the lower level input to balance it out and avoid distortion. :D
