To be prepared for people who just want to walk in and play the old way... Have a conventional mixer wired up with mains out running to your two** systems (channels 3/4). You might want to do this for line-level instruments anyway.

This is what I do with open stage situations with guest artists. It sounds like it would take awhile, but really we're talking just a couple of minutes.

I setup the Bose systems as though there was no mixer. That is:
=== Set up for each performer ===
* microphones into channels 1/2 on each system
==== {{Model I}} / {{Classics}} ====
* DI's to the remaining channels 3/4 open on each system.
* I have a system for each performer so I typically wire things up
** Channel 1: Vocal Microphone
** Channel 2: Instrument
* Remotes wired and attached to the mic stands
* Remotes wired and attached to the mic stands
==== {{T1}} ====
* I have a system for each performer so I typically wire things up
** Channel 1: Vocal Microphone
** Channel 2: Instrument
* If it is a loud stage then I will set up a [[Feedback_/_Microphone#Use_the_T1.C2.AE_Comp_Gate_to_mute_the_microphone|Noise Gate]] on the vocal microphone
* I put the {{T1}} on the microphone stand using the [[T1 ToneMatch® Audio Engine Microphone Stand Bracket]]
