Mac L1 Updater Not Compatible

Forum: ToneMatch® Mixers
0 likes · 75 views
Hello, I purchased a T4s yesterday in Australia. I have followed the instruction in a video posted in another post , downloaded the L1 Updater for Mac , put it into a Bose file, but when I click on the T4 update I get the message " The selected file is not compatible. Please select a compatible file". I have gone through the process multiple times, restarted the computer etc. I am using an early 2015 MacBook Pro running Version 10.13.6. What do I need to do to solve it?Read More...

Thanks ST.. I sent an email to Bose Australia outlining the problem and your suggestions here, and requesting that Bose be the solution to the problem rather than back tracking computers. I got an automatic response saying that a representative would be back to me within 24 hours. It has just ticked over 48 hours with out a response. FYI. I have recently moved to a isolated rural area where I have very few contacts, so accessing another computer is not as simple as you may imagine.Read More...

Low hum sound using an instrument cable

Forum: S1 Pro System
0 likes · 120 views
When I plug in an instrument cable into either input from an acoustic guitar I'm hearing a low hum sound. It's get louder as I turn the volume up louder. It occurs both on AC power and on battery. I've tried multiple instrument cables. I've plugged it into multiple outlets in the house. I've used multiple acoustic guitars with active pickups. If I plug in a microphone into either input I'm not hearing the low hum at all only instrument cables. Is this normal or do I need to send in for...Read More...

Using L1 compact as monitor with T8S, and T1 L1 Model II, L1 Model 1S,

Forum: L1 Family of Products
0 likes · 128 views
I have concert this Saturday. I went to see the auditorium and found out that it has terrible acoustics. The auditorium is wide compare to it's length. It's a sold out concert with roughly 250 people. I have one L1 compact, one L1 Model II with B2 base and one L1 Model 1S with B2 base. I have one T1 and one T8S tone match. If it's possible I was thinking of using L1 compact as a monitor and keeping Model II and 1S on each side of the stage in front. So: 1.) Is it possible? If yes how to...Read More...
Karl
Granted I am a DJ/KJ, but I have run into singers that want a separate vocal monitor aside from the main mix coming form the L1. Even if they are positioned perfectly, they often complain that they cannot hear themselves properly even though they are right there in the mix loud and clear. And I have never had a situation where an L1 compact was powerful enough to be used as a vocal monitor (especially next to any larger L1). I always end up having a QSC K10 or two in the wings in case people...Read More...

T4S ToneMatch Mixer update - not working

Forum: ToneMatch® Mixers
0 likes · 75 views
I just got my T4S today and tried to install the T4S update on a Mac Sierra. In the begging my MAC would not want to open the app saying it was not an app from the app store. To fix this I had to go to my privacy settings and I finally managed to open the L1 UPDATE for MAC OSX (v1.3). I downloaded the T4 S Update ( V1.1.4) , placed them in the same folder! My Bose T4S Mixer is version V1.0.1. When I click to Update the T4S mixer I get a pop up saying " The selected file is not compatible.Read More...

Using S1 Pro with L1 to reach areas the L1 cannot

Forum: S1 Pro System
0 likes · 37 views
I bought the S1 for a monitor off of my L1 to reach areas the tower cannot. I have 2 gigs that require it. One is a gig in the summertime where we play inside an airconditioned Inn but they want sound pumped out to a deck where people are also sitting. We run a line out from the L1 to the S1 on a tripod. The 2nd gig is where we again play inside and directly behind us is an area with picnic tables. We again put the S1 on a tripod and now have 360-degree coverage.Read More...

L1 Model 2 and Presonus Studiolive vs T4S Tonematch

Forum: L1 Family of Products

Guys, I recently bought my L1 Model 2 with B2. I also bought Presonus StudioLive AR12 mixer but still waiting to receive it. I am debating whether to return this and just get a T4S as it is optimized for Bose L1. Any suggestions on whether I should do this? I don't see any single mono output from Presonus but it does have L and R Master XLR out. I am afraid that if I just use L-XLR to 1/2" on Bose Analog Input, I would lose sound quality. Is this true? What cable should I use to connect to...Read More...

Battery Behavior

Forum: S1 Pro System

I have two S1 Pros. When I got my first one, I charged it fully and used it for several shows (I'm a magician and I use it for a vocal mic and background music from an iPod). When I finished my third show, it was down to flashing twice which is supposed to mean 25% to 49% battery life. I didn't use it for five days and then turned it on for a show. It was completely dead. I plugged it in and used it with AC. I called Bose to see what tech support would say about it because that's not the...Read More...

Greetings, TequilaTom. Thank you for joining the Bose Portable PA Community. Welcome. Unfortunately, no. The SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter is a Bluetooth receiver. It does not transmit audio via Bluetooth. You would need a Bluetooth Transmitter to do what you've described. A wired connection might be more appropriate. Bluetooth introduces signficant latency. That is, the sound heard at the far end of the connection arrives late. This is not a problem if the listener at the far end cannot...Read More...
