Hallo, ich habe den Ausgang der Bose L1 compact verwendet, um das Signal über Cinch Out auf eine HiFi-Anlage zu geben. Die Bose war so eingestellt, dass beim Line In die grüne LED Dauerlicht hatte. Das Signal war so schwach, dass die HiFi-Anlage mit Maximalpegel gerade mal eben so zu hören war. Sollte in einer Seniorenfreizeitstätte einen 2. Raum ergänzend beschallen, aber reichte nur, um eine in der Nähe sitzende Person zu nerven. Als ich mit der Bose L1 compact über den Klinkenausgang eine...Read More...

The output level is relatively low unless I turn up the volume on the Compact all the way up. The output of the L1® Compact Line Outs is controlled by the volume control. I think both of our L1® Compacts are operating as they were engineered to perform.. STRead More...

I have been experiencing this exact problem with my L1, Model II with B2 and Tonematch. I have been trying to work with the Bose Tech Support folks for one year this month, and I'm no closer to resolving this issue. The Bose people as individuals have been great, but after at least six lengthy phone calls trying to troubleshoot this problem, I have come to believe that they know they have a flawed design, but are trying to dance around that reality. This "shutdown problem" appears to be an...Read More...

Hi RDHmusic, Thank you for joining the Community. if your Zoom drum unit is like the Zoom RT-223 you can connect the L/Mono output to any of the T1® 1/4" inputs (channels 1, 2, 3, 4/5). Use a 1/4" Tip-Sleeve cable (standard instrument cable). Does that help? If not, please give us a link to the owners guide for your Zoom drum unit. Thanks, STRead More...
