Bass weakens ONLY at high volumes

Forum: L1 Family of Products
0 likes · 60 views
First, I want to say I love my L1s and have been using them since 2010, and don't plan on getting rid of them until BOSE releases the next version, but I can't help but notice that the bass is not as strong at high volume levels. Luckily for me I get to play at a lot of the same venues (I DJ) for crowds up to 250 people and I get to do proper sound checks before gigs. This might not be published or discussed often, but it is quite evident that the bass is weaker when pushing the L1 at high...Read More...

Monitoring with T8S

How do I connect monitors to the mixer T8S, and how do I adjust the volume for the monitors?Read More...

Hi Willy, Technically, there's no reason not to do this. For best results, use a 1/4" (6.3mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable to maintain a balanced connection from the S1 Pro Line Out to the L1 Model II Analog Input. I find that people tend to run more reverb into small speakers (e.g., S1 Pro) than is necessary with the full sized L1 systems. You may not want the same sound coming from both. But go ahead and check it out. Please let us know what you hear. Thanks, STRead More...

Bose S1 Pro - Gig Report in a clubhouse

Forum: At the Gig and Rehearsal
2 likes · 40 views
Hi gang Just thought I'd post some details about my recent gig using just my S1. It was a smallish venue, one of those retirement villages with their own little clubhouse which will hold around 100 at capacity. I've played the venue before so I knew the layout, I arrived with one Compact and my S1, which I always have onboard. On arrival they explained that due to flu and weather only 45 were coming so I decided just to use the S1, the thought of a five minute break-down ready for the two...Read More...

What to Buy

Forum: Just for DJs & KJs
0 likes · 190 views
Hi everyone, I am a mobile DJ that does mostly weddings and school dances. My typical wedding crowds are usually between 100-300 people, but I have done a few already that have had up to 500 people. I use two Bose L1 Compact systems for small receptions and ceremonies. When I need more bass for my smaller events, I use two Bose B2 bass modules that are crossed over using a dbx DriveRack PA2 . For my bigger events, I use two Peavey PV118 subwoofers, and two Alto TS112 speakers. I am looking...Read More...
Ryan Martindale
The dance ended up being postponed (likely until January) due to an incoming snowstorm. As of right now, my next event isn't until New Years Eve, which is a wedding (around 500 people attending). I really hope I end up liking these F1 speakers. They're a little on the heavy side though Maybe I'm just spoiled by my L1 Compacts.Read More...

Recommendation from Bose on storing the S1 for extended period of time

Forum: S1 Pro System
0 likes · 82 views
CityFolk
If I don’t happen to need to use my S1 for, say, a month does Bose recommend I remove the battery for such a long storage period? Or does it matter? I worry about any excessive battery drain. Alternatively, should I just keep the battery installed and just periodically charge it? Thoughts?Read More...
Chet 3
I use them nearly every day - I practice for at least a couple of hours nearly every day. So, I'll try the center (off) position unless I'm returning from a gig where I've used 'em and will put 'em in quick charge for a day then back to "off". Thanks, ST.Read More...

Greetings , I am seeking advice on connectivity of the F1's from my Tonematch. I am running a single T1 to my L1 Model II with B1 behind my band as a monitor. I am looking for the best way to get my T1 signal to both F1's. I have tried it from my master out to the first 812 , 812 to my first sub , first sub to my second 812 and then to my second sub. Is there any better way to make all of this work together ? Since my F1's are the FOH i need the reverb to come through so I guess using the...Read More...

Audix OM7 Microphone for Loud Band

Spun off from Loud enough for a Rock Band . The portion in Bold is what spawned this discussion. quote: Originally posted by Scooder: Chuck...My 5 piece band uses 2 L1s for most of our shows, and for most venues, it's plenty loud enough. We play primarily rock/country music at bar/grill establishments with audiences between 100-300 people and the L1s (classics) have no problem putting out sufficient volume. Our guitars & bass go through their own amps, so we use the L1's primarily to...Read More...

Keen OM7 user here for 4 years. Still disappointed that there still no OM7 preset. They have presets for the Audix OM2, OM3, OM5, OM6 & VX10 but not for the mic that best deals with L1 feedback issues the best (OM7)? I currently use the Shure Beta 87A preset & tweak from there.Read More...

Hi Buck, Thanks for coming back to tell us you got things working. Great! I don't have an RC-20 here, but I used to have an RC-30 and it worked fine when connected to the L1 Model II Power Stand. I can't tell you why your connection from the RC-20 to the L1 Model II Power Stand isn't working. If the connection works to T1 channel 4 or 5, it should work with the L1 Model II Power Stand.

Hi Mahesh, the Beta 87A is exceptionally bright and I too at first experience feedback, however - having reduced top end by 1db and mid by 2db I can sing at pretty hot levels without getting feedback. It is a good idea to have the mic label facing you when singing - as the polar pattern is concentrating on you best at that angle. It's rejection field is away from the label. Cheers DaveRead More...

Using the S1 Pro with Bose Connect App

Forum: S1 Pro System
0 likes · 3,256 views
I stumbled upon a YouTube video uploaded by Bose Professional showcasing the S1 and at the end the guy demonstrates using the S1 with the mobile Bose Connect app for mono or stereo Bluetooth streaming. I cannot find my S1s using the app and the S1 isn’t even listed as a supported device within the app. Has anyone seen this and figured it out? Here’s a link to the YouTube video: https://youtu.be/C1NaRpSrxLARead More...
Mike in Texas
Is it "just me", but doesn't it seem very reasonable to think this Bose Connect App with the S1 Pro COULD provide Volume, Bass, Treble, Reverb, and the Tonematch Switch for each channel? In other words - everything that is on the panel, make it available on the app? And while they're having a good time - Channel & Master Mutes, Master Volume, maybe Line-Out Volume.. .. NOT asking for wireless connect for instrument input, just the same controls that are THERE (plus a few that SHOULD be...Read More...

I, too, have just discovered the joys of BOSE! I do care homes, clubs, hotels and pubs in the UK. I have an L1 Mk1 with 2 x B1s and an S1 Pro, The S1 Pro is my 'go to' system for most gigs and the L1 where more 'oomph' is required. I've been looking at the L1 Mk2 and the L1s to save weight and am seriously considering a T1 Tonematch to get the best out of the kit. I never thought I could afford to go 'Bose' but, in fact , selling my old kit just about covered the cost. I should have done it...Read More...

Hi Bjoern, Welcome to the Bose Portable PA Community. Do NOT to use a cable like this to 'split' the output of a ToneMatch mixer. When splitting a balanced signal coming out of the T1, the unbalanced signals on the tip-sleeve ends are out of phase. What model of L1® do you have? If you have L1 Model 1S or L1 Model II, you can do this. T1® to Two Model II Power Stands or Two T1®s with Two Model 1S Systems If you have a T4S or T8S, there are two master outputs and no need for using a splitter. STRead More...
