A SMALL MIXER WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Take control of your music with the T8S ToneMatch mixer, a compact eight-channel interface designed for performers. Engineered with a powerful DSP engine and intuitive user control, the T8S offers studio-quality EQ, dynamics and effects. It sounds great with integrated Bose ToneMatch processing and zEQ, especially when connected to a Bose L1 or F1 system for full end-to-end tonal control. Play confidently on stage with the rugged T8S using its tactile controls, easy-to-read LED display and scene recall.

The T8S: a true performer’s companion.

8-channel DSP Mixer with XLR Balanced Outputs

The perfect match for the Bose F1 system, L1 Pro8, Pro16 or Pro32, or any of the legacy Bose L1 series.  It’s an audio mixer that works perfectly with any professional PA speaker.

As a mixer, the 8-channel T8S is beautifully laid out, with dedicated knobs for levels, mutes, and ToneMatch presets rather than endless menus — which makes it great for performers coming from an analogue mixer environment. But the real magic behind the T8S lies in its ToneMatch technology and no-compromises DSP. Just tell the mixer which microphone you’re using or what kind of guitar you have plugged into it, and the T8S optimizes sound for you on the spot. Performers can further customise their tone using channel-independent compressors, gates, EQs, and even a tap-tempo delay.

Intelligent EQ and effects

Fine-tune your sound system with greater accuracy using Bose’s intelligent zEQ system. It redefines low, mid, and high ranges for each ToneMatch preset. When you need to cut or boost specific frequency ranges for different instruments and mics, zEQ gives you the power. Globally assign one of five different reverbs to each mic/line channel. You can also choose from three delay types, 10 additional effects, and seven dynamics processors — and assign them independently to each channel.

Easy live streaming

Additionally, the Bose T8S’s built-in USB output allows you to stream your audio directly to social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Connect the T4 to your Mac or PC and you can access studio-quality preamps, phantom power, and effects. Finally, the 6-band master EQ helps compensate for the ambient acoustics around you.

Magnetic mixer cover

For protection and peace of mind, the T8S ToneMatch Mixer includes a magnetic cover. This feature both preserves levels from gig to gig and protects your T8S from damage on the road or at the show.

Hundreds of sonic refinements — instantly

The ToneMatch audio engine puts Bose’s largest library of customised presets at your command. These ToneMatch presets instantly optimize instruments at the touch of a button. Different presets can be independently assigned to each of the engine’s four channels. For example, select the exact mic presets for the microphones you’re using on channels 1 and 2, your guitar model for channel 3, and your bass model for channel 4 — all at the same time. And with the Tonematch T8s, you’ve still got channels to spare!

Bose’s engineers often work with manufacturers directly to expand the ToneMatch preset library, and updates are available to you for free with easy downloading via the built-in USB port.


ToneMatch FAQ

  • 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.

     

  • How do I connect the T8s to the L1 Pro?

    If you want to connect your Tonematch T8s to the L1 Pro8, Pro16, or Pro32, you just need a couple of Ethernet cables.

    You can run a single L1 Pro in mono, or a pair of L1 Pro, S1 Pro or F1 812 in either stereo, or dual mono (daisy chain).

    How do I connect the Tonematch T8s to L1 Pro16, Pro8 or Pro32?

  • Does the Bose L1 Pro8 have reverb?

    Does the Bose L1 Pro8 have reverb?

    Yes, reverb is available on the L1 Pro8 (and Pro16 and Pro32, the S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ as well).

    You can adjust the reverb on channel 1 and channel 2 on the L1 Pro8, or you have even more control if you connect the T4s or T8s Tonematch mixers.

    Read more about the L1 Pro8 reverb feature here.

  • Can I use the T1, T4s or T8s with the F1 system?

    Yes. The F1 system is compatible with the ToneMatch audio engine.

    You’ll need a stand-alone power supply for the T1 or T4s, but the T8s comes with a power unit.

    There is no ToneMatch port on the F1 812 or sub, you’ll need to use 6.3mm TRS cables from the master out.

     

     

  • How do I connect my T1 Tonematch to an L1 Pro?

    The original T1 Tonematch mixer will need an audio cable (two if connecting two L1 Pro systems in stereo or dual mono), and an ethernet cable (or Tonematch power supply).

    Important: The L1 Pro8, Pro16, or Pro32 can power the T1 Tonematch mixer via the ethernet cable, but won’t do audio.  Unlike the much older L1 Model II or L1s, there is no audio transferred via this ethernet connection.

    1. Power up your T1 via the Tonematch power supply, or an ethernet cable connected to the L1 Pro Tonematch port
    2. Run a 6.3mm TRS (stereo) cable from the T1 master out, into Ch3 on the L1 Pro.

    If you want to run a pair of L1 Pro from the T4s, you’ll need to run an audio cable (TRS 6.3mm or “quarter inch” jack) from the AUX out of the T1 to your 2nd L1 Pro or S1 Pro+.
