I just spoke with TUKI and they will make a soft padded case for T4S or 8.Read More...

@Sksisme , did you ever resolve the issue? If you had a dead battery installed, it can take many hours to charge it back up to full.Read More...

Yes, I think one S1 would have covered this ceremony. However, I preferred two for the following reasons: 1.) It's not about volume; it's about presence or fullness of the sound. Two S1's provide that fuller presence at a lower volume level. 2.) Spreading the speakers provide better coverage for both sides of the seating area. 3.) Not knowing exactly what the layout of the area was before arriving, having two S1s gave me more options and better confidence about meeting site location...Read More...

Thanks, @ST ... you've answered the questions that I had about the battery!Read More...

Hi ScubaBadger, On the page you noted , in the bullet point above the text you quoted you will find the following Question and Answer. I have highlighted in blue, the relevant description of how Reverb works in the T4S/T8S mixers. Does the T4S/T8S ToneMatch mixer have built-in effects? What are some of the features and applications where they may be used? Yes. Below is a list of effects that users may independently assign/adjust for any or all channels. The user also enjoys discrete control...Read More...

bysava, thank you so much. This is what I always want to say, about this subject, and had given up. I opt to suggest what I've looked into, for one reason or another. End analysis, a Tonematch is hands down the simplest, best option.Read More...

A couple of quick pics from a recent gig. Audience of 50 in a small auditorium (dig that grooooovy curtain!). Single S1Pro on battery power with battery powered Shure wireless rig (that’s the receiver I’m holding, which is powered by two AAs). Plenty of power and great sound in a dead acoustic space. Rave responses from the audience.Read More...

ich fange morgen nochmal ganz von vorne an. Wenns dann nicht geht nehme ich wieder meinen alten Yamaha Mischer :-( Danke dir mal. Gruß ThomasRead More...

Hi troustudio. Let me reach out to you directly to help you out. Thanks.Read More...

Just an update: Gig went swimmingly well! It was a trio set up where we had the compact as a monitor behind us and then had to send a wet (final) signal to the house as they pump music throughout the entire establishment about 3-4 big rooms full and a patio. I set up as stated above, but in summary: T1: 1vox, 1 guitar and 1 fiddle (wet send from main) at main 12 o’clock—>T4 ch4 T4: 1vox, 2 guitars and received T1 wet into Ch4 T4: main out to house system XLR and Aux1 to compact. Turned...Read More...

Bose sponsors this podcast often, and several engineers have appeared on it. I subscribe to it and have learned a lot from almost every episode. I recommend it highly.Read More...

Yeah, needs to have extras, mixer, mic, cables plus extras, cargo pockets, secure, would be nice to have loops on outside to carry, a mic stand. Please design for the mobile performer, busker, make this back back all inclusive, more inclusive able and ready to hold all gear for portable set up, in and out, the more there will be demand for it.Read More...

Hi Med, Please see my first reply above. Thanks, STRead More...

Hi timeless entertainment, Thank you for this interesting question. There is no difference in the EQ settings between the T1®, T4S and T8S for the DJ Presets. The signal output from the T4S and T8S is higher than the T1®. This gives you the potential for higher output from the F1 Model 812 and better signal to noise ratio. Does that help? STRead More...

I just tried it. It works! Thanks a bunchRead More...

We are, thank you again for being so helpful. I will, but it will be awhile. I just DJ on the side, for friends/family/referrals. I probably do 4-6 gigs a year.Read More...

Hi Oldghm, From your description, it's probably worth it to try the Logarhythm Travelog in S1 Pro Channel three.Read More...

HI Graham, I'm sorry the L1® Compact extensions bag is splitting. Please call Bose Support and they will help. Bose® Product & Technical Support at (877) 335-2673 (U.S. and Canada only) Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM ET Thank you. Bose Pro Community AdminRead More...

Hi shaime, I think maybe we have same issue, but different approach to solving... In our band combo's I find that in larger settings, the Bose L1 fills the room fine, but is too loud to be behind our performers as a monitor at the same time. What we do is move the L1s forward to the front of stage (2 L1s, one on each side of stage), and then add in monitors for performers. With 2 or 3 performers, we can go without monitors because we can still hear each other, with more than 3, we need...Read More...

Thank you ST for responding to the topic of speakers, you added something else wich is so true when the band has to wait until customers are done using the space designated for the band , I see it all the time.Read More...

I was editing that last post when the recycle truck clipped the telephone pole across the street and we lost power and internet. So I'll finish it now here ( too much time passed to edit above one now): I've used a BBE crossover with both the AC-60 and the Bose set up.I was blown away by what the AC-60 could do with only mids and highs passing thru those 6.5" speakers, and lows thru my EV sub .Can get pretty dang loud (louder than I ever play) cleanly and clearly,plus produces a stunning...Read More...

There's no reason to consider using B1s unless you already own them. The B2 is substantially more powerful and is equal to approximately four B1s (as ST said.) A single Model II with two B2s and a packlite amp is a modular, powerful and versatile system that will meet the needs you mentioned (50-200 people).Read More...

Hi otis scarecroe, You're right, there no provision for USB-MIDI on the ToneMatch mixers. I agree, it would be more convenient to control some of the functions of the mixer with a footswitch. Please consider adding your thoughts to this discussion: T4S/T8S ToneMatch Mixers Feature Requests Thanks, STRead More...
