USB B from PC can be directed to:
===== Set Up Your Source =====
* None
Set your source at the maximum that it will be when performing.
* Aux In
* Microphone
* '''Channel 3 or 4 (T4S)''' &lArr; New
:Sing directly into the microphone using close microphone technique (lips just brushing the windscreen). Sing as loudly as you will sing during your performance. You want to set the Trim to work at your maximum volume.
* '''Channel 7 or 8 (T4S)''' &lArr; New
* Instrument
* Master
:Turn your input as high as it is likely to go during performance.

===== Trim Controls =====
The {{ToneMatch Mixer}} trim controls for Channels 1-4 (1-8 for the {{T8S}}) provide a significant gain increase when you reach the upper limit. This increase in gain is normal operation.


=== USB B from PC to Channels ===
Most sources like microphones and piezo pickup systems can provide enough level so ou don't need to turn up the gain very high on the trim control. Certain sources like passive acoustic guitar pickups require more gain and in these cases it can be necessary to set the trim level to the upper range of the control. When the trim control is set this high you may notice the gain change. This is normal operation. If you want to run the trim control at lower settings we recommend using a preamp or simple stomp box level booster.


<html>
=====Aux Inputs channels 5/6 (9/10 for the T8S)=====
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mk7tXyUb8ZM" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The Aus inputs are designed for line-level sources and these can be balanced or unbalanced.
</html>
The input sensitivity is lower than the main inputs and that is appropriate for line-level inputs.

They do not have trim controls or physical volume controls. You set the level in the PAN/AUX settings on the ToneMatch Mixer, and you can monitor the input levels in PREFS/Input Level.

The T4S (5/6) and T8S (9/10) Aux Inputs, are routed directly to the Master Output buss.

We cannot route them to different channels or Aux outputs. You can control Pan and Level sent through to Master.

==== Definitions ====
The following is a update to T4S/T8S ToneMatch Mixer Owners Guide


Connect your L1® to the RIGHT ToneMatch® port
[[File:T4S T8S Scenes Definition.jpg|thumb|600px|link=https://assets.bose.com/content/dam/Bose_DAM/Web/pro/global/products/portable_PA/T4S_tonematch/Downloads/Manuals/AM801203_00_viewable.pdf]]


OR
;Additional information


Use the ¼ inch (6mm) Right Output to a powered loudspeaker (e.g. S1 Pro, L1® Compact, F1 Model 812). For best results use a ¼ inch (6mm) jack Tip-Ring-Sleeve&nbsp;cable.
A scene remembers the setting for Global EQ


===T8S ToneMatch® mixer===
A scene does not remember or change the settings of the other scenes.


Pan all inputs hard RIGHT
;Correction


Use the ¼ inch (6mm) Right Output to a powered loudspeaker (e.g. S1 Pro, L1® Compact, F1 Model 812). For best results use a ¼ inch (6mm) jack Tip-Ring-Sleeve&nbsp;cable
The T4S/T8S includes three types of scenes:
* (5) Bose scenes: Factory-preset scenes. You can edit and overwrite them.
* (6) User Scenes: User-definable scenes for saving and recalling all your favorite settings. You can update these scenes by overwriting them as many times as you want.
* Firmware version 1.1.0 One of the User Scenes is a Shared Scene: A user-definable scene for saving settings you want to share with other T4S/T8S ToneMatch® mixer users. This scene can be uploaded to a computer using the [[Firmware Prerequisites|L1® updater software]].

Use the XLR Right Output to powered a loudspeaker (e.g. S1 Pro, F1 Model 812). or L1® Compact with XLR to ¼ inch (6mm) jack Tip-Ring-Sleeve.
;From the owner's guide
:''This scene restores the mixer to the settings it had when it left the factory. Loading this scene erases any changes you previously made to the currently loaded scene.''
 
;Notes:
* Loading the Factory Settings scene does not affect any other stored scenes.
* Loading the Factory Settings scene is not the same as doing a [[T4S/T8S Factory Reset]].

# The headphone output is on the right side of the ToneMatch mixer. It is compatible with stereo headphones using a 1/4 inch (6mm) tip-ring-sleeve, stereo jack.
# On the face of the ToneMatch mixer, is the PHONES volume control. It is beside the headphone output. This controls the volume you hear in the headphones.
# The headphone output is the same as the Main outputs (Left and Right) except the volume is controlled by the PHONES volume control instead of the MASTER volume.
# The CH Mute buttons affect both the Main outputs and the headphone output. There is no independent preview/cue/solo function for the headphones independent of the Main outputs.

== Delay Tap Tempo ==
The following is a correction of the T4S/T8S ToneMatch Mixer Owners Guide
You can set the time parameter of the delays by tapping the middle button under the display.
 
# Press CH EDIT for the channel you want to change
# Turn the Rotary Selector to DELAY
# Choose the type of delay you want (Digital, Analog, Tape)
# Use the Right-most button under the display to set the Mix / Feedback
# Turn the middle button under the display to set the Time
 
[[File:T4S Digital Delay Tap 1.jpg]]
 
OR you can push the middle button in time to the rhythm you want for the display. This will change the tempo of the delay and display the tempo in BPM (Beats Per Minute)
 
[[File:T4S Digital Delay Tap 2.jpg]]
 
The maximum delay is 500 milliseconds. This is 120 BPM (Beats Per Minute). If you tap anything slower than that, it won't register. If you are working at a tempo slower than 120 BPM, try tapping eighth notes.

== T8S ToneMatch port connection to {{L1P}} ==
{{T8S to L1 Pro}}
 
== T8S no ToneMatch port connection to L1® Model 1S or L1 Model II ==
Bose engineered all the ToneMatch mixers (T1®, T4S, T8S) to offer the same excellent quality audio whether you use the ToneMatch cable (T1® or T4S) or a balanced cable (T8S) for audio.
 
If you are using good quality balanced cables there should be no difference between using any combination of XLR and 1/4 inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve connections.
 
The benefit of using the Cat-5 cable for the T1® or T4S is convenience because you don't need to use the T1®/T8S power supply. Unfortunately, the Model II Power Stand can not supply enough power to operate a T8S. This is why a ToneMatch Power Supply is included with the T8S.
 
== T8S Analog Outputs ==
 
The outputs on the T8S are analog.  The RJ45 port is for the ToneMatch Power Supply that is included with the T8S. The RJ45 port cannot be used to connect to an L1® Model II or L1® Model 1S.
 
Bose engineered all the ToneMatch mixers (T1®, T4S, T8S) to offer the same excellent quality audio whether you use the ToneMatch cable (T1®, T4S) or a balanced cable for audio (T8S).
 
There are two balanced 1/4 inch (6mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve outputs (Left and Right). These are convenient for connecting to the L1® Model II or L1 Model 1S Power Stands as well as F1 Model 812s.
 
There are two balanced XLR outputs (Left and Right). These are convenient for connecting to other powered loudspeakers with XLR inputs.
 
=== Total number of inputs - Comparing T8S with two T1®s ===
;With the T8S and two L1® Model 1S or L1® Model II you have
*8 - Combo inputs
*2 - Aux inputs 1/4 inch (6mm)
 
That's 10 inputs in total.
 
;With the T1® with two L1® Model II or L1® Model 1S
 
First T1®
*3 - Combo inputs
*1 - Aux input 1/4 inch (6mm). Channel 4/5 is a single channel with two inputs.
*1 - Aux input on the L1® Model 1S or L1 Model II Power Stand
 
Second T1® 
*3 - Combo inputs
*1 - Aux input 1/4 inch (6mm). Channel 4/5 is a single channel with two inputs.
*1 - Aux input on the L1® Model 1S or L1 Model II Power Stand
 
The total is
*6 - Combo inputs
*4  Aux inputs 1/4 inch (6mm)


{{T4S/T8S Scenes}}
That's 10 inputs in total.  If you want to count Channel 5 on the T1®s you're up to 12 inputs, but channel 4/5 is really a single channel with two input jacks for combining a stereo signal.
