how to assign input 5 and 6 to aux sends on t4s

Forum: ToneMatch Mixers

I see how to assign channels 1 thru 4 to the aux 1 or 2 sends, but is there a way to also assign the 5 or 6 inputs to specific aux 1 or 2 sends as well?Read More...
ST
Hi Joey, Thank you for joining the Bose Portable PA Community. Welcome. I'm sorry, no. Inputs 5 and 6 are auxiliary inputs that are routed directly to the main outputs. The only options are pan and level. Reference: T4S Aux Inputs What are you connecting to the aux inputs? Also - please check that your firmware is up to date.

Don't know what to choose.

Forum: L1 Family of Products
1 like · 44 views
We are a 3 piece band - we play small gigs (less than 100). 2 mics, 2 guitars, bass, cajon. Originally I thought the L1 compact with a mixer might work for us, but my husband was concerned about the bass. Checked out the L1 1S/B1 online.......so much info, my head is buzzing. Can anyone give me any pointers about what to choose. Thanks.Read More...

At least with a B1 to start, you can always add another later if you need more bass. I think you’re making a wise decision with the 1S. I love Cornwall. I spent some time at Oxford University many years ago now, but feel like the UK is my second home.Read More...

S1 Pops on Shutdown

Forum: S1 Pro System
1 like · 77 views
Just bought 2 S1 Pros & connected them together for a PA system in our Sportsmen's Club. Works great...but...I have them connected to a Livewire power conditioner and everytime I power down the conditioner, the S1s produce a (loud) pop. BOSE support suggested turning each speaker's volume down to zero first, then powering off. Not a practical solution as the speakers are mounted high on the walls of our meeting room. Thoughts? Suggestions?Read More...
ST
Hi Chuck@WSC, One more thing to try: With the S1 Pro systems on (and other devices off), remove the AC power plug for one of the S1 Pro systems from the Livewire PC900 power conditioner/distribution. Do you hear the pop? Thanks, STRead More...

Subwoofer for S1 Pro

Forum: S1 Pro System
0 likes · 746 views
CityFolk
Several folks have started using the Behringer 1200D subwoofer with the S1 to bolster its lower end. It got me to thinking that it would be nice for Bose to develop a similar type of optional subwoofer for the S1, but perhaps base (no pun intended) it on a B1 or 2. Further, it would be nice to have this new B1/2 interchangeable with a L1 as many of us use both depending on the venue size. I expect one of the challenges would be how to make this new subwoofer work off battery power to...Read More...
DavidE2
Yea 2 S1s work from the same device as the speed to both is the same. But Bluetooth from the S1 to the B1 would be delayed.Read More...

Hi KC, Okay - that suggests the S1 Pro is okay. However, there are a few more things we can try. Thanks for checking that. Try connecting your phone headphone output or computer tablet headphone output to the Aux input. Please try connecting headphones to the UWMic 9 receiver headphone output too. Please try fresh batteries in the transmitter and receiver. Thanks, STRead More...

Tried adding A1 and B1 for extra bass

Got thinking -- what could I do with an extra A1 and pair of B1's? How 'bout adding more bass to the S1 Pro? It worked as far blinking lights, but the B1s had very little volume. I don't recommend it this combination. :( - JimRead More...
KingBiscuit
For my use, the S1 Pro seems to have plenty of bass but I'm seeing others adding subs or wishing for a Bose bass option compatible with the S1 Pro. As discussed here, when using a mixer prior to the S1, you set the ToneMatch OFF, Reverb OFF BASS & TREBLE at 12:00 (essentially off), and Volume at 10:00. I'm wondering, if you turned the bass up on whichever input channel you have the mix on, would that give sufficient bass? I know that when I bluetooth music to the S!, the bass is booming.Read More...

I am new here and tried to search this subject but came up with nothing. I have a L1 Compact Model 1 S and a single B2 bass. I use it solely in my home studio for guitar and vocals. I would like some input on sub location. Are these subs like the sound bar subs for your tv which can buried anywhere or do they need to be specifically located. If it means anything, my studio is well treated.Read More...

Intermittent Problems with PS1 Power Stand

Forum: L1 Family of Products
0 likes · 18 views
We have two LI Model 1 systems that we purchased ten years ago for a small acapella chorus. One of the power stands is working intermittently. If we let it warm up for 15-20 minutes it works OK but we haven't tested it through an hour-long performance. I contacted BOSE and was told that the newer power stands will not accept the L1 Cylindrical Radiator Speakers that fit into our current base. Do I have any other option other than replacing both the power stand and the speakers?Read More...

Hi Patty, Thank you for joining the Bose Portable PA Community. Welcome.

T8S Mute Button Issue

Forum: ToneMatch Mixers
0 likes · 44 views
Has anyone had issues with stuck buttons on their Bose mixer? I suspect I experienced a heat-induced problem, but I can’t be sure. We played an outdoor winery gig last Friday and were in direct sunlight for set-up, sound check and first set. The outdoor temperature was in the low 80s F. I typically mute all channels after sound check and between sets, and then unmute when it’s show time. One of the 8 channels failed to work when unmuted. The guitar signal was lighting up the channel...Read More...

ST, Thanks, I did call support. All we did was perform a factory reset. I'm a bit skeptical that this fixed it, but we'll see. Like you and anyone else who is playing out, these temporary/intermittent issues make me really nervous. Apparently, no one else has encountered this particular problem. Fingers crossed that the fix was this simple. Thanks again. Tom BRead More...

Noise tail ?

Forum: S1 Pro System
0 likes · 46 views
Overall, I love the S1 Pro as I am putting it through the paces. One thing I do notice is regardless of settings or placement, there is a slight "noise trail" at the end of audio, like some sort of compression or gate is releasing. Is the auto adjusting eq or some sort of internal processing set so that is slowly releases the signal ? I've tried all inputs and it seems consistent. Thanks for any feedback or input.Read More...
noizyb
It's not reverb, that's zeroed out. I notice it on direct connection of a Taylor 214CE, and also Line6 HX Stomp (clean tones), and also on direct mic connections, (regardless of settings or any tonematch options). I'm running the system at about 11 o'clock ? I've experimented with various gain stages to see if it makes a difference, but it doesn't seem to ? Given the time, I'll try to capture a video snippet of it. Again I qualify that it's not overwhelming, but I'm a 35-year semi pro audio...Read More...

I just purchased a T4S from Sweetwater Sound to use with a L1 M2 and B2. I wanted to use Aux Out 1 and 2 to send signal to a Zoom H6 mixer. When I tried to set up channel 1's level in Aux 1 Output nothing happened. I just happened to have Out 2 also plugged in to the Zoom and when I increased the signal to Aux 1 Output in the program, the cable from Out 2 had a signal. The reverse happened when I started to work with Aux 2 Output, the channel on the zoom coming from the Out labeled 1 had...Read More...

noise floor

Forum: ToneMatch Mixers

I have a T8s with the following problem: footage attached shows T8s with strong noise floor output when no input is present. The hiss only appears when pan is full left, when full right there's no sound. What should I do in order to fix this? I've just updated the T8s with latest firmware, non result. I have also discovered another T4s unit has the same issue, but when I pan right I have this noise and with pan left there's nothing.Read More...
FGe
Yes, probably connected units onto different channels: T4s on the 'power' channel, didn't keep evidence which channel connected on T8s. I'm aware of what I've done, this was only to demonstrate the effect. For recordings, imagine you have channels playing very low or not playing from time to time, where signal is absent. In this case, signal/noise becomes very low. i'll try to get user into this topic, thank you so far!Read More...
