Hi Kenneth, Thank you for joining the Community. Yes, you can run the L1® Compact with one extension. You will probably get better projection in to the room with both extensions, but you use one if you prefer. Bose Pro Community AdminRead More...

T1 settings

Forum: L1 Family of Products

Hi Can anyone suggest which T1 settings to use for vocals, acoustic guitar and stomp box/porch board please? I have 2x L1 compacts and a model 2 with B2. 90% of the gigs I do are with 1x L1c and tonematch. L1c on a chair with one extension. I sit on a chair to sing and play acoustic guitar while tapping a homemade "electric floor tile" with my foot. Shure Sm86, Gibson j200 and j45, piezo on a floor tile. My T1 was repaired recently and has come back with factory settings. It took a long time...Read More...

Hi Bob, For the stomp box Attenuate means to reduce, so we're carving away the sounds we don't want. I would start here: The Level is - 10.0 (minus ten). We're removing sound - turning down the tapiness. Freq is 150. The simulator I have won't do exactly 150 Hz (that's why it says 151). There's nothing exact about this. So you can move this value up and down. Width is 2.00 oct The simulator I have won't do exactly 2.00 oct (that's why it says 199). This means we're reducing the sound in the...Read More...

Thank you.I was thinking of trying out another mixer with my Bose L1 modelI. Do you know the best way to connect another mixer too it? Are their other mixers that use the T1 type cable that I can connect the same way.Or is that proprietary to Bose? If there are not any other mixers that connect the same way, what would you suggest other than running another mixer into a channel on the T1? I guess my question is can I use another mixer instead of the T1? I'm not very technical and I would...Read More...

Bose Compact using both channels

Forum: L1 Family of Products
0 likes · 17 views
Is it possible to use channel 1 for a condenser mic which will have an external phantom power source (mic is used to amplify hammer dulcimer) and then use channel 2 for a TC Helicon VoiceTone Harmony G XT which will have an acoustic electric guitar and Shure 58 mic? No mixer. And is TC Helicon powerful enough on its own? Trying to keep things simple and light weight. I have a Yamaha mg06x I could use if need be.Read More...

About the position of an L1 compact in an open stage

Forum: Ask Bose for Help

First of all, please forgive my poor English. Now, recently I bought one L1 Compact and one T1, - I'm very happy for this - and I use them in an open auditorium in Mexico City. When I read for the first time the generals of this equipment I was aware that the recommended use was indoors, and audiences for about one hundred persons. But surprisingly the L1's power and quality of sound was enough for almost three hundred persons on a stage that has no walls around, just the ceiling. The...Read More...

T1 scenes

The Saint
I've had my L1 MII, T1 and B1 for around 4 years now and love it. I use it for electric and acoustic guitar, plus my vocals. I use an amp simulator for the electric guitar and when I need acoustic for the next gig, I've just gone into channel two (which I use for all my guitars) and changed the settings and EQ. I've now decided to save these settings using the scene facility. Yes, I know, it's taken a while for me to get wise on that...!! I have several acoustics, all with different style...Read More...
The Saint
Following on from this, should I be using a preamp or DI box between the guitar and the T1? One guitar has an LR Baggs Lyric, one has an LR Baggs M1A and another has a Fishman piezo with an onboard Takemine preamp. If so, any recommendations...? ThanksRead More...

L1 Compact clipping

Forum: Technical Questions & Issues
0 likes · 54 views
Hi Folks I did a gig last night with my two L1 Compacts either side of the stage, I had them both set at 12 o'clock so they were at identical volumes and I had the Tonematch set at 12 o'clock and I adjust the channels independently, which is usually how I work. It was a 70th birthday and most of the audience were on the dance floor so I was driving the PA quite a bit. The Compacts handled the gig brilliantly, there were about 150 people in and I know it was thumping because I could see...Read More...

Thanks ST I haven't explored the T1 since I bought it four month ago, I just set it to it's basic settings because I was anxious to gig my new gear, but I shall now spend a bit of time getting to know all of it's functions. I will check the Comp/Gate as you suggested. I am gigging in a restaurant tomorrow so I will try it out with it switched to bypass. So far as using both compacts together I will knock the second one back till the LED is a steady green, I had no idea about the input/output...Read More...

Source Selection

Forum: F1 Family of Products

Hi Guys, I was getting quite frustrated with my F1s not sounding the way I expected them to and after a lot of back and forth. Vocals in music and movies were very unintelligible and everything lacked detail. As it turns out, the built-in ADC/DAC on my Behringer X32 was the source of all of my problems. I just switched to a MOTU 828es and it has made a tremendous difference. (I would not recommend the Behringer X32 with the F1s, based on the better audio performance I was getting with my...Read More...
SoundGeek
Wavesound I concur that for a home theater/audiophile setup that I would not choose the X32, but then again I also would not choose the F1 812 due to the noise floor. (The L1 MII + B2 does not have the same noise floor so I would use it for home theater/critical listening) I only use the X32 and F1 812 for live sound and as such, I am very happy with both.Read More...
