Wherever possible, use the system as designed. To me, this means:


* One system per player (vocals or instrument or vocals plus instrument)
* One system per player (vocals or instrument or vocals plus instrument)
* Each player controls his/her own volume and tone with the Remote
* Each player controls his/her own volume and tone with the {{R1}} or {{T1}}
* Each player is positioned closer to his/her own Bose® system, than to any other (loud) sound source on stage
* Each player is positioned closer to his/her own Bose® system, than to any other (loud) sound source on stage
* Where there are both vocals and instruments running into a Bose® system, vocals and mic'd instruments take first priority for the channels 1 and 2. (I almost always put the vocals in channel 1, just for consistency, not because there is any difference between channels 1 and 2).
* Classic/Model I: Where there are both vocals and instruments running into a Bose® system, vocals and mic'd instruments take first priority for the channels 1 and 2.  
** I almost always put the vocals in channel 1, just for consistency, not because there is any difference between channels 1 and 2.
* Keep loud acoustic sound sources out of the line-of-sight (line-of-hearing) between any player and any Bose® system on the stage.

* Although I usually lay things out so that the Bose Systems are at the back of the stage they don't have to be there. There are exceptions where it makes sense to put the systems for the Bass or Drums off the wall, to get them closer to the players.
