 === Connections that may work ===
 Some (not all) powered mixers have line-level outputs. You can connect line-level outputs to ToneMatch Mixers and line-level inputs on Bose Portable PA powered loudspeakers (L1, F1, S1 Pro).
+If you try a line-level output
+# Turn off the mixer and Bose equipment
+# Turn the volume controls of all devices all the way off
+# Connect the cable(s) from the powered mixer to the Bose device
+# Turn on the powered mixer
+# Turn on the Bose device
+# Turn the volume on the Bose device to 12:00 o'clock
+# Run a signal source (e.g., prerecorded music) to the powered mixer
+# Turn up the volume on the powered mixer slowly to test if the signal is coming through
+# If you see red on any signal lights on the Bose equipment turn down the output of the powered mixer until you no longer see red. If you cannot get the volume low enough to eliminate the red light or hear the sound without distortion,
+#* Turn off the Bose device
+#* Turn off the powered mixer
+#* Disconnect the powered mixer from the Bose device. In all likelihood, the output from the powered mixer is not compatible with the Bose device.
