R1 Remote: Difference between revisions - Bose Portable PA Knowledge

Line 104:

...there are two design related issues that come into play here. The reason why nearly nobody knows about this is that rarely anyone ever notices it.

1) The Level knob on the {{R1}} has a certain amount of latency. It takes a moment from the time you turn a knob until the setting actually takes effect. The exact time depends on the circumstances, but it's always less than one tenth of a second which is indeed barely (if at all) ~~noticable~~.

1) The Level knob on the {{R1}} has a certain amount of latency. It takes a moment from the time you turn a knob until the setting actually takes effect. The exact time depends on the circumstances, but it's always less than one tenth of a second which is indeed barely (if at all) noticeable.

2) The Channel 1 and 2 Level controls produce a very slight "zipper" noise when they change between different volume setting. That noise does not affect the tone controls or the master volume. The technical reasons for that are complicated, but I'm happy to explain it, if someone is interested.

Line 140:

If you are using Channel 1 or 2 for something else already, you should plug both channels from the laptop (or mixer) into channel 3 & 4. Gain staging is a little more complicated: turn laptop or mixer to full volume, set master volume on the remote to 9 o'clock or so (not too loud) and turn up Channel 3/4 level control until some audible distortion occurs and then back up by one notch or so. It doesn't have to be very exact, there is plenty of extra gain in the system if needed.

Another tip, if you find you don't need the remote, there is no need to bring it. If you power up the power stand with out the remote, the power stand will assume a remote with all knobs at 12 o'clock.
