- How can I stream wirelessly in mono or stereo to an L1 Pro?
It’s possible to wirelessly stream to the Pro8, Pro16 or Pro32, or S1 Pro+ wirelessly via Bluetooth – either a single unit, a pair in stereo, or a combination of any two of the speakers.
Download the Bose Music app available in the iOS Apple store for iPhone or iPad, or Google Play store for Android.
From there, just follow the 5 step instructions here for connecting your L1 Pro or S1 Pro+ for mono or stereo wireless Bluetooth streaming.
- How do I connect the T4s in stereo?
You can use the ToneMatch T4s digital mixer with a stand-alone power supply and connect to any powered speaker system, not JUST the S1 Pro+ or any of the Bose Pro range.
But utilising the included ToneMatch cable and connecting to an L1 Pro8, Pro16 or Pro32, you can power the T4s without a secondary power supply, and there’s no need for an audio cable between the L1 Pro and T4s either.
Read the full step-by-step guide on how to connect your ToneMatch T4s mixer with the L1 Pro range in mono, dual mono, or stereo.

Other S1 Pro+ Coolness
Dual Wireless (Bluetooth) Streaming
The Dual Wireless Streaming feature in the Bose Music app lets you play Bluetooth audio from both the system and another compatible Bose system at the same time in either dual mono or stereo. You can access this option from the Settings menu.
Compatible systems include:
Bose S1 Pro+ Wireless PA System
Bose L1 Pro8 & L1 Pro16 Portable Line Array System
Bose L1 Pro32 Portable Line Array
Live Stream Mode
Live Stream mode allows the system to be recognised as an audio interface when you connect it to your computer using a USB-C® cable. This lets you perform live for an online audience or record audio directly to your computer’s digital audio workstation (DAW).
When Live Stream mode is enabled, the system passes a dual mono mix of Channels 1, 2 and 3 to a connected computer. In this mode, the channel volume controls behave like faders on a mixer. Adjusting channel volume using either the channel controls or the Bose Music app adjusts the level of that channel within the mix being sent to your computer.
A monitor volume control also appears on Channel 3, allowing you to adjust the master volume of the system speakers without affecting the computer mix. Once you enable Live Stream mode, it stays enabled until you disable it, or the system powers off.
Bose Music App
Using the app, you can control the system remotely, manage system settings, and access exclusive features like ToneMatch preset customisation, channel and reverb mute, saved Scenes, and Dual Wireless Streaming.
Insert Mode
When you connect a wireless transmitter to a channel that has the Insert setting set to Auto, the 6.35 mm (¼") TRS channel input becomes a series channel insert (also known as an effects loop). You can connect effects units or pedals to the input using an insert cable, all while using your instrument or mic wirelessly.
NOTES:
- An insert cable (6.35 mm or ¼" TRS to dual 6.35 mm or ¼" TS) is required to connect an effects unit to a channel insert.
- Don’t connect an instrument or other audio source to the input using a standard 6.35 mm (¼") cable when a wireless transmitter is connected to the channel. This prevents audio from playing from both wired and wireless sources.
