Bose S1 Pro and TC Helicon Play Acoustic
Hi Everyone:
I recently bought a Bose S1 Pro for home practice and small gigs. So far I really like it. I am playing a Martin D-41 with LR Baggs Anthem and/or Taylor 816ce with the expression system 1.3. My mic is a Shure Beta 58A. I just bought a TC Helicon Play Acoustic. I am looking for some advice on the best way to hook up the Play Acoustic to the S1 Pro. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Steve

I go direct via XLR cable, mono out - if my guitar and vocal eq don’t need anything further. If they do need further eq adjustments, I go DI out with guitar in channel one and vocal in channel two. In either case, no tone match settings are used.
I turn the Play Acoustic output to about 40-50% and set the S1 Pro column on 12:00. This way I have a little headroom if I need some volume and no noise. Others may give you (and me for that matter) some better ideas. All-in-all, it works great. |

I am running through the Play Acoustic, guitar into one channel of the S1, mic into the other channel. It lets me make further adjustments on the S1 with each.

I would think one combined XLR output would be most convenient. Only one cable going to your amp instead of two. Also you can EQ your guitar and vocals separately within the Play Acoustic anyway, so no real need for 2 separate outputs that I can think of?
