Forum: L1 Family of Products
0 likes · 51 views
Hi I was wondering …. is there an effective way of running an L1m2 (b2 Bass Module) & 1 F1(1 top 1 bottom) system together I realise they have different power capacity but can one effectivly monitor whats coming out of the F1 (front of house ) with what you have behind you (the L1) ? if so what would be the hook up ? I run both a TS8 & a T1 together at gigs and if this is an impractical way to go for whatever reason , no problem :-) cheers Jerome PS - additional info(may/ may not be...Read More...
Jerome Hillier
Hi ST /fellow Bose users just reporting back on this one I`m happy to say this configuration of the L1M2 & the (1) F1 System works very well together for venues / out door events that demanded extra volume/ spread I tried both ways with the auxs and also simply running each system in a normal left right configuration Both ways work well the only thing that seems a slight pity is when using the Auxs the volumes & settings arent getting saved to a scene On another matter , and this...Read More...

Hi to you all, I am Fabrizio from Italy. I have a couple of used (not by me) L1's classic with 4x B1. One is perfect, the other nope. I run them always with a line input in the input 3 (at volume 3) and already tried the input 4. The broken system sound awful, No eq and NO x-over. I have full range in the sub output, Removed the radiator and checked the 3 amps individually. All works correctly if driven from their inputs. If I use one of the classic line inputs (3 and 4) in every amps out I...Read More...

Connecting L1 1S to Two powered PA Speakers

Forum: L1 Family of Products
0 likes · 47 views
Hello, I've had my L1 1S for a few months now and I love it it. I can't get over how great everything sounds coming out of such a small system. We're a four piece band, two guitars, bass and drums, three vocals. We typically play small bar, patio type venues. However, we have a gig coming up where we will be playing outside at a small beer festival. There will be a small stage set up in a large parking lot and I expect we'll be playing to about 100 people directly in front of the stage but...Read More...

Can I connect backtrack via a mini cable to two ¼” to two different channels

Forum: ToneMatch Mixers
0 likes · 36 views
I know that if i connect an iPad or iPhone to a T1 ToneMatch ® Audio Engine or T4S ToneMatch mixer channels 1, 2, 3 (or T8S ToneMatch mixer channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) using a cable like this i will hear only the LEFT side of the stereo signal. To hear both LEFT and RIGHT sides of the stereo signal, i must change the signal to MONO. My question is: Can I not use a cable like this and connect to let say channel 2 and 3 to hear LEFT and RIGHT?? Thanks, HubRead More...

The right way to connect 2 L1s classic with T1

Forum: L1 Family of Products

I plan to use two L1s classic with T1 mixer. I have 4 B1s should I use them all or 1 for each power stand. i have learnt a few things after I joined Bose community and from here on I want to do it right. Please advise SidRead More...
ST
Hi Sid, Thanks for the information., The T1 is mono device so you can't pan sound sources from one side to the other although in some situations you can get creative to force things. That won't work very well for vocals. Try this: Microphones to T1 channels 1, 2, 3. T1 Master Output to the first L1 Classic - channel 1. First L1 Classic channel 1 line out to the second L1 Classic. Stereo Keyboards Connect the keyboards directly to the L1 Classics Keyboard 1 Left output to first L1 Classic...Read More...

T8S Routing USB B from PC to a full featured channel

Forum: ToneMatch Mixers

Tom the Guitar Guy
So, just picked up the T8S.... First thing I notice is that you can't route the USB in to a channel - only Left/Right or the Aux In (channel 9 & 10) unlike in the T1 where I could/ would route my iPad to channel 4 for easy volume control.... So in order to control volume of backing tracks/ music I have to have the Aux 9/10 level screen on... bummer... Tech advancements.... lol Plus since it's routed to Aux In, I'm unable to use a DJ Tonematch... Also a little bummed that it didn't come...Read More...

IEM - In Ear Monitoring

Forum: Technical Questions & Issues
0 likes · 184 views
Hi all, Thought it might be interesting to hear about other peoples experience, suggestions, recommendations on the subject of IEM's. I guess we're all aware of the benefits of IEM, they can protect your hearing from damage from high level sounds, and they can feed you with exactly the mix you want and or need to hear while performing. It can also fix the problem of the Doppler effect (this is where reflected sound can reach the ears of the vocalist slightly off pitch and cause them to sing...Read More...

Hi codydog19, I'm sorry you've got this strange squawking sound. You've done some great trouble shooting. The only thing that comes to mind is to check your firmware.
