R1 Remote: Difference between revisions - Bose Portable PA Knowledge

Line 14:

If the knobs get stiff, you can pull them out a bit. Chances are they've just gotten jammed down during packing.

== Is the R1 ~~Required~~? ==

== Do You Have to Use the R1? ==

If you power up the System without the Remote Connected, the PowerStand operates as though the Remote is connected with all controls straight-up (12 o'clock) position.

''The PS1 power stand continuously senses activity at all preset selectors and what is connected at the input/output jacks. In general, it is not recommended to operate without the remote connected. The PS1 power stand can however function without the R1 remote control. If you power the PS1 power stand on without the R1 remote control connected, it will operate as if the R1 remote control was connected and at a fixed setting of 12 o'clock (center position) on all the control knobs. Alternatively, if the unit is powered on with the R1 remote control first connected and the user then disconnects the R1 remote control, it will retain the last settings of the R1 remote control before you disconnected it. This is helpful in the case where sharing may be necessary.''

The LEDs indicate that a certain level of signal has been reached at a point '''after the preamp''' and '''after the insert loop''' and '''before the conversion of the signal from analog to digital'''.

The LEDs are '''independent of the Master Volume Control' at the bottom of the R1.

The LEDs are '''independent of the Master Volume Control''' at the bottom of the R1.

The LEDs turn from '''off~~''' to '''~~green''' when there's more than a little bit of signal in the channel.

The LEDs turn from '''off >>> green''' when there's more than a little bit of signal in the channel.

The LEDs turn from '''green~~''' to '''~~red''' when the signal reaches a threshold that is about 10 dB below the level that would clip the A/D converter and cause objectionable distortion.

The LEDs turn from '''green >>> red''' when the signal reaches a threshold that is about 10 dB below the level that would clip the A/D converter and cause objectionable distortion.

If the LED is '''only flickering red''' the signal is in a '''safe range''' and there will be '''no distortion'''.

Line 44:

After completing this procedure you may be able to get more overall volume by turning up the Master Volume Control on the R1.

'''Hint:''' Many players find it helpful to note their gain settings -- trim on the PS1, channel volume and master volume on the R1 -- and make sure these levels are set properly during setup.
