I have a set of Motorola model SH012 wireless/Bluetooth headphones ( sorry to say they are Bose) and I can't get them to pair with my Bose s1 Pro I have two s1 Pro can this be done? Dave.Read More...
ST
Hi, Dave. No, you can't connect the S1 Pro to your headphones via Bluetooth. The S1 Pro can receive a Bluetooth signal (e.g., from a phone or a tablet), but it cannot transmit. If you want to hear sound from the S1 Pro through your Bluetooth headphones - no, you can't do that. If you run the Bose Connect app on a phone or tablet, you can send a Bluetooth signal from the Bose Connect app to up to two Bose devices (e.g., S1 Pro, Bose SoundLink Revolve), but that works only with specific...Read More...

L1 Compact Signal Path

Forum: L1 Family of Products

FingerstyleArtist
I mostly listen to equipment to make a decision about quality. However, I was recently asked by a performer if my Bose L1 Compact has any digital signal processing. After reading manuals and a few wiki's, I am still not sure. My recollection from a salesperson is that the line-in (channel II with tonematch to OFF) is an analog path, and that there is some sort of limiter at some point in the chain to protect the speakers - but the limiter is also analog. So the questions are - L1 Compact: Is...Read More...

Hi Everybody, When I heard about the S1 Pro system I was curious to know how it would perform with a guitar amp modeller. You may already know that my favourite rig for small electric guitar gigs is my Kemper Profiling Amp with an L1® Compact. For bigger rooms I use the L1® Model II. Yesterday I spent some quality time with the S1 Pro and these units Boss GT-1 Kemper Profiling Amp The Boss GT-1 is a great little unit I carry it in the car most of the time in case there's a chance to play an...Read More...

Mix from single input sub

Forum: F1 Family of Products
0 likes · 62 views
I'm planning to run from a Peavy sub to my F1 812 mains. My sub only has a single input (so I guess I just run one cable from the left output on the mixer to the single input?). There are 2 outputs on the sub going to the 812s so no issues there. Is this the correct setup? I know the F1 Sub has two inputs - I'd be more comfortable with that. Is it unusual for a sub to only have 1 input? Any better way to connect everything?Read More...

I would like to see a HighPass filter on every channel in the ParaEq section to remove unwantet low frequencies in boomy rooms or a crowdy mix.

Question: Can I use the USB Out into an iPad with an Adapter to Live Stream?

Forum: ToneMatch Mixers
0 likes · 67 views
Happy Memorial Day everyone. I did a live stream Saturday night. I use my iPad and a Shure MV88 Digital Stereo Condenser Microphone for iOS. It sounds way better than the built in mic on the iPad. That being said it is not great...I get lots of comments from people I trust, can't hear the backing tracks very good, the guitar could be louder, not much low end, etc.... My guess is if I could send my Bose Aux mix to the iPad it would be much better...I know USB A to Lightning adapters exist,...Read More...

Yes this works well. With an Apple "Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter" my T1 works perfectly as an audio interface / external mixer. Simply connect the lightning end to your iPad and use a standard USB A to B lead (printer style) between the adapter and your T1 or T4S. This does require the iOS program...Read More...

Using T1 Mixer w/iMac and OBS Livestream Settings?

Forum: ToneMatch Mixers

Hello Everyone, I have my T1 connected to my iMac via the USB to PC connection. I can get the T1 to work with GarageBand but I just can’t connect to the OBS app? I have the midi sound set correctly for the Bose USB Audio input but I’m just not getting it to go through the OBS app? Is there anybody out there live-streaming with the setup that can share their settings? I have acoustic and vocals running to the Bose. Thank you.Read More...
Dennis O'Brien
Hi, thanks for reaching out. I just completed my first live stream and used my T8 mixer. It worked pretty well. I say pretty well only because the signal was a little weak. I was instructed to work within the OBS system since the signal it sends to Youtube is the same as you would hear in a playback from OBS. That makes sense to me. I am going to work with it later this week and post my findings. I solved my initial problem when I purchased an updated/new MacBook Pro. My old one was more...Read More...

Hi, Todd. When you play the T4S .wav files - is the volume too low? I don't have Garage Band, but I've just re-read your posts. Can you set the output level higher in Garage Band when you export to .wav files? What is in the other .wav files you are comparing to the files you get from the T4S? What is the content? If those files are pre-recorded content (backing tracks), they may have been recorded at a higher sampling rate. STRead More...
