SYSTEM SETUP

Connecting the T1 to an L1 model I power stand

On an L1TM model I power stand, the Channel 1 and Channel 2 Mic/Line inputs have independent volume, equalization, and ToneMatch Master output should be connected to either the Channel 3 or Channel 4 Line IN connectors. The R1 remote control should be disconnected so that the T1 provides the master volume control for the system.

If you want to connect additional sources to the Channel 1 and Channel 2 Mic/Line inputs on the L1 model I power stand, the R1 remote control must be connected. However, the R1 remote control then will control the master volume of the L1 system, not the T1 audio engine.

To connect the T1 (as master volume control) to an L1 model I system:

1. Make sure the Power switch on the power stand is in the OFF position and the R1 remote control is disconnected.

2. Make sure the T1 power switch is in the OFF position and the T1 audio engine power supply is connected. See “Connecting the T1 ToneMatch

3. Make sure the T1 Master volume control is set to 0.

4. Plug one end of a ¼" unbalanced TS audio cable (not supplied) into the T1 Master output port. Plug the other end of the ¼" cable into the Channel 3 (or Channel 4) Line IN connector on the L1 power stand.

5. Set the Line IN Level control on the power stand to approximately 2.

In some circumstances, you may need to slightly adjust the Line IN Level control from this initial setting to attain the desired gain structure.

6. Turn on the T1 audio engine.

7. Turn on the L1 model I power stand.

Connecting the T1 to your computer

The T1 provides a USB port for connecting it to a computer. This allows you to download performance scenes to a computer or install system updates. Visit www.Bose.com/musicians for details on updating your system.

When connected to a computer, you also can use the T1 as a general-purpose USB audio device for recording and playback.

Note: The T1 operates at 48kHz/24-bit. When using the T1 with recording software, you may need to configure the software settings for 48kHz/24-bit operation.

Connecting the T1 to your computer requires a USB cable (Type A to Type B, not supplied).

1. Connect the T1 audio engine either to your L1 model II system or a T1 power supply (see “Connecting the T1 To ne M at ch

2. Plug one end of the USB cable into the T1 audio engine USB port (Figure 13).

3. Plug the other end of the USB cable into a USB port on your computer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT! Optimizing input gain and output volume

Getting a quality volume level from your system relies on the combined adjustments of input channel gain, master volume, and channel volume. Do the following for each channel used.

1. Make sure the Master volume, Trim, and channel volume controls are set to 0.

2. Adjust input channel Trim.

A. If applicable, adjust the volume of your instrument/source to the desired level.

B. Play your instrument/source at a performance level.

C. Slowly turn the Trim control clockwise until the signal/clip indicator glows green or just starts to flash

yellow. If the indicator flashes red or glows steady red, turn the Tr im control counter-clockwise to decrease the level.

D. Use the input level meters (page 29) in the Prefs menu to check your input levels.

(Example)

Note: If you are using a device that requires phantom power (+48V), such as a condenser microphone, depress

the Phantom power switch before adjusting the Tri m control.

Note: The input level meter in the Prefs menu can be helpful when adjusting the input Trim level (see page 29).

3. Set the Master volume control at the 12 o’clock position.

4. Slowly turn the channel volume control clockwise until the volume reaches the desired level.

Using the Master volume control

The Master volume control adjusts the overall output level of the T1 ToneMatchTM output ( ) and analog Master output. During normal operation, it is recommended to keep the Master control set at the 12 o’clock position. Once you have set volume levels for all channels, you can adjust the Master volume up or down from this position.

Muting a channel

The Mute buttons silence the audio for the respective channel.

• To mute a channel, press the Mute button once. The Mute button glows bright blue to indicate that the channel

is muted.

•Press the Mute button again to unmute the channel. The Mute button dims to indicate that the channel is not

muted.

Muting channel effects

The FX Mute 1-4/5 buttons mutes only the Mod, Delay, and Reverb effects on the respective channel. Muting effects does not bypass ToneMatch presets, zEQ, Para EQ, and Comp/Gate settings.

• To mute effects on a channel, press the FX Mute button once. The FX Mute button glows bright blue to indicate

that the channel effects are muted.

•Press the FX Mute button again to unmute the channel effects. The FX Mute button dims to indicate that the

channel effects are not muted.

Note: If the T1 rotary selector is set to Mod, Delay, or Reverb, the message “FX Mute is Active” appears on

the display.

and gain parameters. Works well with basses, guitars, keyboards, and vocals requiring subtle level control.

Compressor 1: Heavy...... Compressor featuring a preset high compression ratio with variable threshold and

gain parameters. Works well with loud instruments – like horns and drums, as well as strong vocals that require more aggressive level control.

Limiter..............................Hard limiter featuring a preset ratio (

∞:1) with variable threshold and gain parame-

ters. Works well with very loud instruments, such as drums, to prevent signal peaks from overloading the channel.

De-Esser .......................... Side-chained compressor featuring a preset compression ratio with variable

threshold and gain parameters. Designed to reduce sibilance on vocals.

Noise Gate....................... Noise gate with a fast preset attack time, variable threshold, and variable speed

(release time). Well-suited for eliminating unwanted noise from microphones and instruments.

KickGate 1: Regular......... Gate featuring a preset attack time, and variable threshold and tightness (release
