Power Base Dimensions for the L1 Classic and L1 Model 1

Forum: L1 Family of Products

CityFolk
Hi All, I’m trying to determine if the power base dimensions are the same or different from the L1 Classic vs Model 1. Are the soft power base zippered covers interchangeable between the two?Read More...
ST
Hi CityFolk, According to the specifications, both the L1 Classic and L1 Model I are both five inches tall. The L1 Model II is completely different. That's the one that has folding legs. In the very early days, there were optional covers available for the L1 Classic. They had wheels and a dolly handle. Those rolling cases were taller. STRead More...

I want to transform my current bose speakers (left and right) to stream music wirelessly from my L1 Model 11 with a ToneMatch

Forum: Technical Questions & Issues

Can anyone help? I want to transform my current bose speakers (left and right) to stream music wirelessly from my L1 Model 11 with a Tone Touch feature.. I purchased a Soundtouch Bluetooth wifi adapter to access rear left and right speakers. How do I hook it up, or did I waste my money with the purchase of the Adapter. - CalRead More...
ST
Hi, Cal (Elmer). What model are your current Bose speakers? The SoundTouch Bluetooth WiFi adapter requires a Bluetooth transmitter from the audio source. That might be a phone, tablet, or computer. The L1 Model II with ToneMatch mixer does not have a Bluetooth transmitter. What is the source of the music you want to play through the Bose speakers (not the L1 with ToneMatch mixer)?

It is my understanding that 32 bit applications will no longer function on Macs following the upcoming (Oct 2019) MacOS Catalina upgrade. Is there a 64 bit version of the L1 Updater in the works?Read More...

Thanks for the helpful follow-ups. I'm not sure what firmware I'm running on the T1s, but it's been several years since I checked. I wouldn't have discovered this any of this, but for the Catalina download messing around with all my old 32 bit programs...so I am just going through the list, and trying to get all my relevant software updated, where possible. I'll get into my two T1s shortly...maybe today! I have just the B1 bass module, I believe...if that's it's designation. My 64 y.o. brain...Read More...

Hi Amy, Welcome to the Bose Portable PA Community. I'm sorry for not replying sooner. A big band can be loud or very loud depending on the size of the audience. It would be helpful to know more about your shows. How large is the audience you are trying to reach? How big are the venues where you are performing? Is there a separate PA system for some or all of the performers in the big band or are they all running without amplification? Thanks, STRead More...

Rack mounting the T8s

Forum: ToneMatch Mixers
0 likes · 52 views
Hi, has anyone successfully rack-mounted the T8s? I would like to incorporate it at the top of a small unit with radio mics and in ear systems underneath. I am hoping to save time setting up/packing down at gigs by having a table top style unit that just plugs in to one power source (rather than my current process of plugging in many separate units/XLRs etc.) I see the base of the unit has a screw for a tripod but this wouldn’t be easily incorporated in to a standard rack mount. I’m...Read More...
Kim 3
P.S. #1 option: I forgot to mention that the slant-top rackmount enclosures enable you to (1) Adjust the mixer's slant toward you however you want, (2) Un-slant your mixer to lay it flat on top of your enclosure after the gig, plus (3) Close a latchable, truma-resistant lid over the top of your mixer to protect it after (and before) your gigs.Read More...

JBL Eon One Compact, Competition for the S1?

Forum: S1 Pro System

CityFolk
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...

ST
Hi Olav Gudnason, Thanks for your patience. It's taken some time to drill down and get more information for you. Looking at this email from Bose, it's clear the sender thought you were talking about an L1 Compact. And if you had an L1 Compact, the information you received would be applicable. Let's talk about your L1 Classic. The L1 Classics were in production from 2003 to 2007. Unfortunately, Bose no longer does repairs on the L1 Classic (or L1 Model I) systems. The parts you are looking...Read More...

S1 Pro battery draining when not in use

If your S1 Pro battery is draining when the S1 Pro is not in use (turned off) and not connected to AC power, please read the latest update S1 Pro battery draining when not in use Thank you, Bose Pro Community Admin The original message follows below. I have two S1 Pro speakers. Same age, both pretty much new. The latest one i purchased with only a few hours of use has a battery that slowly dies over the course of a week or two when not in use. The other S1 Pro battery lasts as it should. Any...Read More...

Thanks David for the update. I sent one of mine in on Dec 9 as well. Hopefully it will be a fast turnaround too. (I kept my second one to send later since I need at least one for upcoming gigs). I'll let everyone know when I receive it. Also, it will be interesting to hear back from you if you feel the "fix" improves the battery life. Of course, if all goes well here, we might not hear back from you for a while. ha ha.Read More...

Powering T1 from battery.

Forum: ToneMatch Mixers

Hi there I have L1M2 B2 +T1 and S1 Pro I have a Behringer 1002B battery mixer for extra channels when using S1 When using ac power I prefer using T1 with external power supply over 1002B with S1 Is there a way of powering the T1 using a battery? I could use for example a 12v 4a/h SLA battery and pure sine wave 600w inverter to 240v then step down to 18v using the Bose power supply but it seems a bulky solution I see the pins on the power supply output are +18 v Rtn and -18v rtn so its not a...Read More...
Sam Spoons
I have just bought the UK spec version of the power pack ST linked above, after a very brief test (running my AER Compact 60 and my XR12 mixer) it is excellent, my earlier modified sine wave power pack introduced some buzzing and noise, quite low but I became concerned after reading the Bose article. The new one is absolutely silent in that respect with only the (pretty quiet) fan making a little acoustic noise (nothing that would worry me on a gig though). Looks like a good buy. ...Read More...

Monitoring with Reverb

Forum: ToneMatch Mixers
0 likes · 61 views
HI folks, It's been a while so hope all are well. I've been using my L1 Model 2 (and more recently my new L1 compact) for solo gigs and because it's mainly me adding vocals to backing tracks, I've never really needed to monitor myself in anyway but as the system is intended - either in front or to the side. However I've been playing some very noisy receptions recently and find occasionally I've gone out of tune as am not hearing the track correctly. This NEVER happens to me at performance...Read More...
RV
Monitors typically are NOT for hearing what is going to the house. And the in-ears also won't give a true mix of the house, just like a set of Mackie speakers won't give the same as the L1. The only way you will get a true house mix is to have the speaker behind you. I use a pair of L1-MIIs behind our 5-pc group, no monitors, and no feedback, even with a mic just 3 ft from the speaker.Read More...

Hi, Ray Lewis. Welcome to the Bose Portable PA Community. I'm sorry your L1 Compact won't power up. Yes, that sounds like a hardware problem and it will have to be serviced. There are a couple of things to try first. Remove the power cable and insert it again. Try a different outlet. Try a different power cable if you have one. If the unit still won't stay on please call Bose Support so they can help you. Bose® Product & Technical Support at (877) 335-2673 (U.S. and Canada only)...Read More...
