T1 set-up support needed

Forum: ToneMatch® Mixers
0 likes · 37 views
I just received the T1 for my S1 and there wasn't a manual in the box. I have yet to find a good video tutorial to help me set up for vocal and acoustic guitar. I am not technically inclined at all so I am feeling very overwhelmed. Can anyone provide me with a link to a very basic tutorial that would help me? Thanks!Read More...

Buzzing from S1 pro connected with the L / L + R output of my Tyros 5 keyboard.

Forum: S1 Pro System
0 likes · 188 views
Channel 1 of my S1 pro is connected with the L / L + R output of my Tyros 5 keyboard. When I turn the keyboard on I have a buzz in the Bose which becomes louder as I turn the volume of the Bose up. So when I stop playing you hear an anoying background buzz from the Bose. Before I used an active subwoofer speaker and two satellites from Yamaha and had no background buzz, but the Bose sound is far better.Read More...

T8S mixer - reverb and delay

Forum: ToneMatch® Mixers
0 likes · 113 views
I have upgraded my mixer to T8s. Have been using T1 ToneMatch for many years. I have been experimenting with t8s but not getting the same sound and warmth that I get with T1. To begin with I have kept all the setting same as T1 on T8s; specifically Delay and Reverb. THat's my starting point and then I started tweaking to get the same sound as T1. My voice sounds very dry and it looses the volume if I a move even little bit away from the microphone which was not the case with T1. Any...Read More...

Hi shaime, That's correct. The Model II Power Stand Analog Input Trim will affect only the signal from the T8S coming through the Analog Input. The T1 coming through the ToneMatch port will be completely independent. STRead More...

Hey! I'm new to the forum, but just wanted to express my appreciation of the design and product build of the Bose F1 speakers. I also have a question about purchasing another.

When we decided to move to an LCR mix, we bought a pair of JBL EONS for the left and right sides to supplement. While the stereo mix was greatly improved in the...Read More...

SM 58 vs E 935 with Bose S1 Pro

Forum: S1 Pro System

I am happy with my SM 58 through my S1 but was wondering if an E 935 would be better all things being equal. I am not an aggressive singer and I sing at volumes on the low side. I don't have a T1 yet but I will be purchasing one soon to go with my S1. Just curious if there is a consensus regarding these 2 mics with the S1 or if it boils down to individual preference. Thanks.Read More...

It's all a matter of preference. For myself I would choose any Sennheiser mic over a Shure, if talking wireless and I think that I would make the same choice for wired mics as well but my wired mic choice would actually be the EV ND76 . The clean sound of the Sennheiser mics with the durability of the Shure.Read More...

Hi FCBlues, I've had a couple of helpful replies to my 'feedback' problems and they have been along the same lines as you are suggesting ie the TC Helicon is the cause in some way.

I’ve posted this several times on different threads. I wanted good protection for my S1 Pro. I found a padded slipcover on eBay (made from a mover’s furniture pad) that I use and put my S1 Pro inside the Arriba Cases AC-125 bag with the padded slipcover on. It gives a lot of padded protection for about $70 and the fit is pretty good. A friend of mine went with the Gator Cases GPA-TOTE 8. It’s a little bit heavier duty than the Arriba case but it requires adding foam in it since it is longer...Read More...

Hello Philip Knight, S1 Pro to L1 Compact If you want the reverb or you are using the S1 Pro as a monitor, you can connect things like this. S1 Pro output to Compact Channel 2 (ToneMatch set to Line Level) using a 1/4 inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve (balanced) connection. If you are using the S1 Pro as a personal monitor use the horizontal orientation. L1 Compact to the S1 Pro?

Sound cutting out on L1 Model II

I just purchased my L1 Model II with T4S last month and I have only used it twice and both times it cut out on me. The first time it cut out about five times during about 5 hours of play and this past Saturday, it cut out on me twice during about 4 hours of play. Both venues were outside and I was not using a generator. I am very concerned because I have a wedding to DJ in two weeks. I can't have this happening to me. I have not updated the firmware since I purchased the T4S. Could this have...Read More...

Hi Mcghee, I'm sorry you're having a problem with your L1 Model II and T4S cutting out. If the sound drops off for second or two and then comes back, this is probably an issue with the power. If the unit performs okay in a different venue (e.g. your house) then the unit is fine. Please see this article about L1 Model II Sound Cutting Out If you haven't updated the T4S firmware, you should do that. See: T4S Firmware updates The L1 Model II Power Stand, if new does not need to be updated. Does...Read More...
