===== Set Up Your Source =====
Set your source at the maximum that it will be when performing.
* Microphone
: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.
* Instrument
: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.
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.
=====Aux Inputs channels 5/6 (9/10 for the T8S)=====
The Aus inputs are designed for line-level sources and these can be balanced or unbalanced.
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.

Pan all inputs hard RIGHT
;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.''


Connect your L1® to the RIGHT ToneMatch® port
;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.

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.

Bose engineered all the ToneMatch mixers (T1®, T4S, T8S) to offer the same excellent quality audio whether you use the ToneMatch cable (T1® or T8S) 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.
