Forum: Technical Questions & Issues
0 likes · 37 views
Thinking of buying a used system about 5 years old ....no experience with it other than played a few times in a band that had one...if you have 2 full units do they connect together so all vocals come out of both units? Also can a board mixer 16 channel be used to feed into both units? Maybe stupid questions but I cannot find right info that clearly answers that for me. Hope people can help me understand how that might work. This system I am looking at has two towers and 4 B1's but no tone...Read More...

Using 2 Model 11 towers as a band vocal PA

Forum: L1 Family of Products
0 likes · 43 views
i have asked this question in the old forum and you provided some diagrams on how to set up 2 units as a band vocal PA. You also provided a great description of the pros/cons of what happens with sound competition on stage using monitors versus just Bose system. We have a new band member who has doubts about how this all works and feels we should place the towers at the front of the stage and use monitors for band. Also we use a Allen and Heath board and not a Bose tone match. You can see...Read More...

Hi, Takefive, Thanks for the interesting question. Unfortunately, no. The Soundbar 700 cannot share music with the S1 Pro. The Soundbar 700 can share music with other Bose Smart Home Speaker systems or the Bose Portable Home Speaker through your home network with the Bose Music app The S1 Pro can share music with another S1 Pro or a SoundLink Revolve or SoundLink Revolve+ using Bluetooth with the Bose Connect app. You might be able to use a third-party Bluetooth Multipoint transmitter to...Read More...

WIth It’s larger subwoofer (8” sizes built in sub), Wireless app access to the mixer section, master volume, multiple effects, phantom power, daisy chaining multiple units, 12 hour battery operation with no tool battery access, and 15 lbs, JBL has a very compelling unit the JBL EON One Compact . It is disturbingly close to the S1 in overall design. It doesn’t seem to be available yet and the proof is in the quality of sound that Bose has always excelled at, but from a pure features...Read More...

F1 addition to my L1 + T1 set up

Forum: F1 Family of Products

I'm a solo acoustic vocalist and acoustic guitar player playing small to medium-sized rooms. I have been running the L1 successfully for the last 6 months and found that on a few shows where the crowd wanted to dance I needed a little more air to move and the mids and low end to kick a little harder. So I just picked up an F1 812 speaker without the sub to my set up. My question is what is the best way to run the F1 and the L1 from the T1 so I can utilize its extra power in the best way ...Read More...

I operate my L1 Compact via a mixing board from a FOH position about 25' away. I use 4 mics and two accompaniment track sources. After I get all my gains, faders, etc. perfectly set on my mixer, sometimes I want to raise or lower the house volume on my L1 without changing any of the controls on my mixer. Instead of having to get up from my position, walk to the L1, and physically adjust the gain knob on L1 channel 2, is there any way I can raise or lower the volume on the L1 remotely from my...Read More...
