=== I already own an {{L1}} Model I (or Model II) system. Can I purchase the T1 ToneMatch audio engine separately and use it with the system? ===

Yes. The ToneMatch audio engine can be purchased separately for use with both {{L1}} Model I and Model II systems. The ToneMatch audio engine connects to Model II systems with a single digital cable via the ToneMatch ports. <br><br> When connected to a Model I system, the ToneMatch audio engine requires a separate power supply?available through Bose or authorized dealers of the {{L1}} family of products. Use an analog 1/4" TS cable to connect the ToneMatch audio engine's master output jack to the input of channel 3 or 4 on the Model I power stand.

=== What are the benefits of the ToneMatch port? ===

It provides for a single digital connection from the T1 ToneMatch audio engine to an {{L1}} Model II power stand. It also delivers power from a Model II power stand to the audio engine. You enjoy digital quality audio?with no need for an additional power supply and excessive wiring.

=== How can I verify the version of ToneMatch presets I have? ===

Access the global preferences menu to confirm which interchangeable ToneMatch preset banks are loaded in your T1 ToneMatch audio engine. Use the rotary encoder to select the global preferences mode. Press the Menu button to select the menu list. Then rotate the Select button to scroll through the list and highlight the ToneMatch presets description.

=== What is the concept behind zEQ, and what are the benefits? ===

Ordinary tone controls are generic by design: High, Mid and Low controls are spread out across the entire musical spectrum. Proprietary zEQ automatically shifts the range of these controls so they correspond directly to the range of your voice or instrument. In brief, zEQ allows more precise control over your tone, making it easier to fine-tune your sound.

=== Do the mic inputs of the ToneMatch audio engine have phantom power? ===

Yes. +48V phantom power can be applied to channels 1 – 3.

=== Can I assign multiple effects to any or all channels? ===

Yes. You can run multiple effects on one channel while simultaneously applying different effects to each of the other channels. Each effect type has designated user-adjustable parameters; these individual parameters may also differ from channel to channel.

=== Can I create a submix to send to a house PA system or recording device? ===

Yes. Use Aux mode on the T1 ToneMatch audio engine to send selected input channels to the Aux output. You can also choose the type of submix signal you want to send: Dry (after preamp), Pre (includes equalization and effects) or Post (after fader).

=== What is a Bose scene? ===

It's a specific T1 ToneMatch audio engine processing setup that's a default starting point for achieving great sound quickly in a variety of applications. Five Bose scenes are built into the ToneMatch audio engine: Factory settings, Singer/songwriter, DJ/playback, Drums and bass, and Electric works.

=== What is a user-defined scene? ===

A user-defined scene is a "snapshot" of the complete state of the T1 ToneMatch audio engine settings at any given moment. You can store, recall and edit up to five different user-defined scenes. After editing a Bose scene to your preference, simply save it as a user-defined scene for quick recall at a later time. These customized scenes will help you achieve consistent sound with minimal configuration time.

=== What is a shared scene? ===

A shared scene is a user-defined scene you can send out of the T1 ToneMatch audio engine to a PC running {{L1}} updater software. Once you've transferred a copy of the scene file to a PC, you can easily share it with other ToneMatch audio engine owners.

=== Can a T1 ToneMatch audio engine be used as a stand-alone mixer? ===

Yes, but many key advantages of an {{L1}} system?like even sound coverage, consistent tone, and portability?aren't realized when a ToneMatch audio engine is used with conventional speaker systems.
