I'd like to see a Shure Beta 98H/C preset. I play a Deering Golden Era banjo and use this mic as a clip-on mic. I like the fact I can use as wireless or wired. I've swapped out the supercardioid capsule with the 110 and its perfect. I have recently purchased a new-to-me 1986 Dobro 5-string for a different sound. I've been experimenting and have a found nice place to park this mic, just above the biscuit bridge, pretty stable. I place the mic into the sound hole for a more woody tone. Thanks,...Read More...

Technical support

I am looking for someone to help me learn more about getting the best sound out of my Tonematch mixer. I feel fortunate for all of the info I have gained on this forum but would really like to speak to someone in person as I am a visual learner. That being said, does anyone know of a music/audio shop with a staff person that is well experienced and knowledgeable with Bose equipment? Or a dedicated Bose support team that is physically accessible to Bose customers? I am in the Ottawa area but...Read More...

Hi Oldghm, I agree the L1 Compact and S1 Pro are similar in many respects. The ToneMatch mixers are different. The ToneMatch mixers have zEQ broken into three bands: Low, Mid, High. The L1 Compact and S1 Pro have tone controls for Bass, Treble. We can't map the functionality of the ToneMatch mixers' zEQ to the the L1 Compact and S1 Pro tone controls. They do similar but different things. To get the fine-grained control of a ToneMatch mixer, you have to connect one to the L1 Compact or S1...Read More...

Presets for Yamaha Electro Acoustics

Forum: L1 Family of Products

I'm about to take delivery of a Yamaha AC5R Electro Acoustic Guitar. I'm a long time Yamaha player and L1 user and it has always frustrated me that we can't get T1 presets for the most recent Yamaha guitars. My other Yamaha acoustic is an APX20D. I've tried various Taylor and Martin presets but nothing quite hits the spot. Come on Bose, lets have some love for the Yamaha players out there!Read More...

How can I control two separate master outputs on the Tonematch 8?

Forum: ToneMatch® Mixers
0 likes · 52 views
Our four piece classic rock band is performing for a local variety show. We play a 50 min preshow set and then turn around and become the pit band to accompany the chorus and play walk offs etc. I'm using my TM8 for 3 vocals, guitar, bass, keys, and Roland E-drums (7 inputs). For the preshow we need to hear our vocals without any latency/delay that we get through the auditorium mains. So I ran the left main XLR out to two wedges hooked up in series. By doing that, we were able to produce the...Read More...

Hi ST, Interesting post, but just about what I've come to expect from many today. Music streaming instead of having a look through ones collection to see what you fancy listening to. Music being created on computers rather than using instruments that you can take into a forest and play your favourite songs. Those are just 2 examples. Don't get me wrong here. I think that all tastes should be catered for. However, some of them I will go out of my way to avoid if possible. Many songs I could...Read More...

@ST - A few minutes ago (I hadn't seen your message above) I went digging into a box where I keep my cables. Lo and behold, I found a cable that I acquired eons ago - twin 1/4" TS to a stereo 1/8" jack. I think I got this to connect an electronic keyboard to something ... don't remember what. Anyway, this is a fairly heavy duty cable and 6' long ... perfect for the guitar. I plugged it into the S1 and it's perfect. It does exactly what I want. So here's the benefit to me: I like playing the...Read More...

T8S carry case/bag?

Forum: ToneMatch® Mixers
0 likes · 858 views
I am expecting delivery of the T8S this week. What are you using to protect it during transport? I know it comes with a plastic cover, but so does the T1. But the T1 also has a canvas cover to protect it. It doesn’t look like the T8S has that. Why? What are T8S users using? I’m concerned about banging/scratching it up when traveling to gigs and practice. Is Bose planning to design a cover? I’d appreciate any ideas others have. Thanks, DaveRead More...

Hello Bose Community, I'm a hobbyist mobile DJ, mostly playing at house parties, villas, sailing boats and afterparties of tech conferences around Amsterdam.

The link below details connecting a Bose S1 Pro to a Behringer B1200d subwoofer. By using the high pass crossover on the sub you are limiting the low frequencies sent to the S1 Pro, that should help with clipping / overdriving you S1 Pro. The concepts outlined in the article should apply to most small subs. https://toonz.ca/bose/wiki/ind...B1200D_Pro_Subwoofer Lack of AC power... a small gas or propane inverter generator could provide you with the clean power needed to run your system.

Input volume difference between combo jacks (1,2,3) and line inputs (4/5) on T1 Tonematch Engine?

Hi guys Just a brief question. Should there be a small drop off in sound (5-10%) between the combo jack inputs (1-3) and line inputs 4/5 on the Tone match mixer. I was doing up settings on my Nylon stringed guitar and noticed a difference when I took it from input (2 in this case) and put it into 4/5 The trims, channel volume and master volume were the same on both and both channels were setup identically (same preset, eq, delay, compression reverb etc) Thanks as always!

ST
Hi ScubaBadger, I did see that specification. I didn't see any of the reviews suggesting a practical benefit to having a frequency response beyond 20 kHz . So I didn't give it a lot of thought. I know that some of the gear at my place has a frequency response well beyond 20 kHz. That doesn't help with anything I need to do and in some cases it creates issues in the digital domain (inaudible noise that consumes resources to manage). If you try out the Ehrlund EHR-H microphone please tell us...Read More...
