PANEL OVERVIEW

Channel and System Settings

• Using the Bose app, you can customize the default Microphone or Instrument presets on Channels 1 and 2 to better optimize system EQ for your setup scenario. Select from a library of ToneMatch presets to match your specific microphone or instrument model, apply generic EQ filters, or get the best sound from a guitar amp modeler pedal. You can access this option from the Settings menu. When you customize a ToneMatch preset on a channel, an H symbol appears next to the icon on the channel display.

CHANNEL INSERT SETTINGS

• Channel insert settings let you enable or disable the effects loop functionality for a channel. When enabled, you can connect your effects units or pedals to the channel input while using a wireless transmitter for your source. For more information, see “Connect effects to a channel insert when using a wireless transmitter”

CHANNEL WIRELESS SETTINGS

• Channel wireless settings let you enable or disable wireless transmitter functionality for a channel. For more information, see “Enable/Disable wireless transmitter functionality” on

CHANNEL EXPANDERS SETTINGS

• The Expanders setting determines whether the system reduces the volume of low-level background noise for a channel. For more information, see “Enable/Disable the Expanders setting”

LIVE STREAM MODE SETTINGS

• Live Stream mode allows the system to be recognized as an audio interface when you connect it to your computer using a USB-C® cable. This lets you perform live for an online audience or record audio directly to your computer’s digital audio workstation (DAW).

About Live Stream mode

• When Live Stream mode is enabled, the system passes a dual mono mix of Channels 1, 2, and 3 to a connected computer. In this mode, the channel volume controls behave like faders on a mixer. Adjusting channel volume using either the channel controls or the Bose app adjusts the level of that channel within the mix being sent to your computer. A monitor volume control also appears on Channel 3, allowing you to adjust the master volume of the system speakers without affecting the computer mix.

Enable/Disable Live Stream mode

• Press and hold the channel control for Channel 3 until the additional controls menu appears on the channel display.

Adjust monitor volume in Live Stream mode

• When Live Stream mode is enabled, you can use the channel control for Channel 3 to adjust the master volume of the system speakers without affecting the mix being sent to your computer.

SUB EQ SETTINGS

• The Sub EQ setting is a crossover that optimizes system EQ for setup scenarios in which a powered subwoofer is connected to the system LINE OUT port. You can use Sub EQ with any powered subwoofer, but for optimal performance, Bose recommends the Bose Sub1 or Sub2 Powered Bass Module. Once you enable Sub EQ, it stays enabled until you disable it or the system powers off.

NOTES:

• For information on how to connect the system to a Bose Sub1 or Sub2 Powered Bass Module, refer to the Bose Sub1/Sub2 Powered Bass Module owner’s guide. Visit: support.Bose.com/Sub1 or support.Bose.com/Sub2
• You can also enable/disable Sub EQ using the Bose app. You can access this option from the Settings menu.

BOSE APP-EXCLUSIVE FEATURES

• You can mute channels and mute reverb effects for a channel in the Bose app. You can access channel mute and reverb mute settings from the main screen.

ENABLE/DISABLE DUAL WIRELESS STREAMING

The Dual Wireless Streaming feature in the Bose app lets you play Bluetooth audio from both the system and another compatible Bose system at the same time in either dual mono or stereo. You can access this option from the Settings menu. For sample setup scenario images.

Compatible systems include:

• Bose S1 Pro+ Wireless PA System
• Bose L1 Pro8 & L1 Pro16 Portable Line Array System
• Bose L1 Pro32 Portable Line Array
