"the best way to know if a mic is perfect for you is to try it" That's sage advice. When I run sound, I carry what my peers call excessive, as I bring a wide variety of microphones to match to the voices. My wife's reaction to the SM58's made me branch out decades ago. The lead singer in our band was female and would move around to different microphones on the stage and eat them all. I owned and maintained all the sound gear. After a gig in Palm Springs one night, I ran hot water and dish...Read More...

Hi Jerome, You are using a digital connection from the computer to the T1®. The signal does not pass through the analog input that is controlled by the Channel 4/5 trim control. That's why there is no activity on the (analog) signal LED and the trim control has no effect on the volume. There's no cause for concern. You can't overload the preamp or cause damage. Does that help? STRead More...

Hi Dan, This one is really hard to diagnose without putting a meter on the contacts of the XLR inputs. It sounds like it's time to contact Bose Support. Bose® Product & Technical Support at (877) 335-2673 (U.S. and Canada only) Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM ET Thanks, STRead More...

I like the VE-8 because it gives me both a Harmonizer and Looper (as well as effects like Chorus or Echo) in one battery-powered pedal. It has a bunch of knobs rather than screens -- and I'm old school, I like that too. For a battery powered harmonizer option, you could also try the Boss VE-2 Vocal Harmonist. I have one of those but don't use it much. It sounds as good (maybe better) thank the VE-8 and has a larger on/off switch which I like. However, I don't like to take a lot of pedals to...Read More...

Hi Krafty, You're right, and correct on all counts. We are updating the manual, and other information online . STRead More...

Beta 58a run into my Denon X900 mixer... Mic up quite loud and I am standing facing the F1 812 tops about 10 feet out then turning to the side then facing away... teaching line four wall dances. From my experiences the L1 Mod. II works much better in these situations... so I use it instead.Read More...

I mostly use my two gorgeous Patrick James Eggle hand-built custom electrics (pics in my profile) though I have various Strats, Tales, Les Paul, Flying V and Ibanez chaps, even a lovely Epi Casino. I tend toward Dumble and Fender profiles for chord work and fills but also use Marshall silver jubilee and Soldano lead profiles. I have a bunch of Michael Britt's profile packages too including the rather wonderful Colonial pack. How about you?Read More...

Ok, thanks STRead More...

I've run this vid through my F1 system. The system will do quite nice for your style of music.Read More...

Hi ST, thanks very much for your fast answer. I'm going to use an Intel® NUC-Kit NUC6i7KYK which has an optical SPDIF and I think there are some Notebooks out there where their SPDIF is not explicitly mentioned on the website. I will do some more latency checks with my T1 and compare it to ASIO USB interfaces like Steinberg UR44 or RME Babyface. And I've one more question: when I'd use the T4S in a Mono situation, I've read the advice to pan all the inputs hard i.e. to right, which makes...Read More...

Hi baboff, Thank you for joining the Bose Portable PA Community. Congratulations on getting you T8S. I understand your English fine. You get the same quality either way. You're welcome! STRead More...

Hi DMC, Press the middle button under the display (below where it says Muted ). That should open up the Mix and Bright options. Does that help? STRead More...

Hi Trevor, Thank you for joining the Bose Portable PA Community. Using a stereo mixer with an L1 ® General principles for connecting a stereo mixer to the mono input on your L1 ® . The inputs on the L1 ® Model 1S , L1 ® Model II , and the Compact Channel 2 ¼ inch jack are MONO. Check to see if your mixer has a MONO output. If it does, then use that. If your mixer does not have a mono output pan all your inputs to one side (e.g. LEFT) and take the LEFT output and connect that to your L1 ® .Read More...

I found the B2 powerful and not overly easy to tune. On the plus side it sits behind a grand piano using Crown PZM and I've had no issues with feedback. It would benefit by having the rocker switch replaced with an infinite attenuation dial. I set up 3 scenes -in all I needed the parametric eq to pull down a relatively narrow band of 140 -160 ...this is higher than usual -my personal taste and sound usually requires the reduction closer to 120 -depending on the scope of the bell curve can be...Read More...
