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 typical microphones and piezo pickup systems can provide enough level without the need to add significant gain from the trim control. Certain sources like passive acoustic guitar pickups require additional 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.
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.


The trim for Aux input channels 5/6 (9/10 for the {{T8S}}) do not exhibit the same behavior as the trim controls for Channels 1-4 (1-8 for the {{T8S}}).  The Aux inputs are designed for line level sources and do not have the same gain staging as channels 5/6 (9/10 for the {{T8S}}).
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.

== Mono Output ==
==== Factory Settings Scene====
On the back of ToneMatch mixers there is an indication below the Right output (MONO). This is a misprint. There is no hardwired summed mono output on the ToneMatch mixers. To get a mono output please see below.
[[File:T4S T8S Factory Settings Scene.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]]
===T4S ToneMatch® mixer===
 
Pan all inputs hard RIGHT
 
Connect your L1® to the RIGHT ToneMatch® port
 
OR


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.
;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.''


===T8S ToneMatch® mixer===
;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]].

=== Documentation Update===
{{T4S/T8S Factory Settings}}


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
{{T4S/T8S Mono Output}}
 
OR
 
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.
 
=== Mono using Aux Output ===
You can create a summed mono output by directing your input channels (1-4 or 1-8) to an Aux Output. See [[{{PAGENAME}}#Aux Outputs|Aux Outputs]] for details.

# 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.
