Bose S1 Pro gain staging issues with T1 and direct Sennheiser e935

That’s the way Mackie does it on their “Wide-Z” inputs. So going from a mixer XLR output to an S1, you would just need a female XLR to 1/4 TRS cable. Interesting since, unlike the Mackie design, the same input works really well with guitar levels. |

David, I’m hypothesizing that the stereo cable won’t make a huge difference. The issue is that the S1 has really high (fixed) input gain on each of the channels. You would need to use the mixer with the gain set lower than you are used to. The balanced cable will give you an extra 6 dB of gain. So, that could help. But, based on your previous reviews of PAs, I am not sure a single S1 will get the job done for you.

If I'm understanding your setup correctly it seems like you've got two mic level gains in the tonematch pream to a tonematch setting on the S1. It seems that if you tried the S1 channel with the tonematch on the speaker turned off, that might solve the overdrive problem. However, perhaps I've misunderstood your setup. when I've used a mixer with my S1 this is what I've done and it has worked well. I hope you find a solution.

I tested the 1/4" stereo TRS cable from the T1 mixer to the S1 (with tonematch off) and got much better results than using an XLR cable.
If I use a different mixer with an XLR output at line level, I'll use an XLR to 1/4" trs adapter at the S1 end. |
