The Bose T8S ToneMatch Mixer is a compact 8-channel digital mixer featuring a powerful DSP engine, an intuitive user interface, and built-in USB audio functionality, making it well suited for capturing live performances, podcasting, livestreaming, and more. The ToneMatch mixer is designed to interface with the Bose L1 or F1 sound system for full end-to-end tonal control.

The integrated ToneMatch processing and zEQ help you get a great sounding mix quickly and effectively. The Bose ToneMatch processor is natural sounding on vocals and instruments, while the zEQ focuses your tone for effective adjustments on the fly. The illuminated, tactile controls, and indicators offer quick, spontaneous sound adjustment even on dark stages. Additionally, the ToneMatch system offers advanced features such as tap-tempo delay, a built-in chromatic tuner, and recallable scenes to create a professional onstage companion for performing artists.

Each channel offers a trim knob, a channel edit button, an FX mute button, a volume knob, and a dedicated channel mute. The main output features a master volume control, an independent headphone volume control, and phantom power for working with condenser microphones. Additionally, the T8S includes a stereo output meter for visually measuring your output level. The Bose T8S ToneMatch Mixer ships with a magnetic cover and a ToneMatch power supply. Connection to a host computer requires a separately available USB Type-B to USB Type-A cable.

Q: 6. Does the USB interface have any sort of latency for input/output?

A: There are a lot of variables to consider when measuring overall latency in a DAW setup. All USB interfaces contribute to this latency as well. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not list a specification to know exactly how much. The processing power of computer is a big determining factor, along with the software being used to record as well. Depending on the software, users may adjust the buffer settings to help with the latency. You may expect around 10-20ms overall latency before making any adjustments to the buffer.

Fifty feet is the recommended maximum. If you have more questions like this, please visit our Bose Portable PA Community. https://www.bosepro.community/g/portable Thank you.

However, I would recommend contacting Technical Support for your region - they will be more than happy to look further into this query for you.

[8] I bought this last week to accompany the L1 Model 2 and the B2 Bass Bin and couldn't be happier with it. Simply being able to run guitars direct in with no pre-amps is fantastic; a guitar and a pedal will run straight into this thing and sound fantastic. Not to mention the tone matching for the various types of guitars and mic profiles. Independent fx's across each channel, what more could you ask for. Wouldn't hesitate to snatch this off the shelf if you pondering it. 5

[1x RJ45] I'm somewhere between a beginner and a novice, when it comes to creating, mixing, and recording music. Even though I'm not ever going on tour, I like upper end equipment, with a pretty simple user interface. That is why I picked the Bose T8S. I have a lot to learn, but I have been able to make great progress in just a couple of weeks. And purchasing from B&H, I know my products will get here in great shape, and on time. 5

[48 kHz] I'm a one-man operation doing gigs with just me singing and playing guitar. I use a Bose L-16 speaker and a TC Helicon guitar/voice processor. Before, I'd have to go around to the back of the L-16 to make adjustments. First I bought a Yamaha mixer to go with my Bose L-16. It might have worked fine if I'd worked harder to figure it out, but I didn't. So, later, I splurged on this Bose 4-channel mixer, and I love it. It's small enough to rest on a stand attached to my mic stand and simple enough that even a cave man or I can operate it. I especially love having the mute buttons right in front of me. I also love that I now have a master volume control, which you don't have on the L-16. Slightly off topic, but I also recently added the Bose S-1 Pro + and the XLR remote. With this, I can plug the remote transmitter into the back of the L-16 and wirelessly send a signal to the L-1, which I can then use as a second speaker pointed at the audience or as a monitor pointed at myself. And since the L-1 is battery-powered, I can put it anywhere without having to worry about cords/cables at all. 5

[USB Drive] I purchased my Bose Tone match in 2009, and since have been using it. It is so versatile and so powerful. the sound generated is absolutely divine. i cant wait to see the next generation of Bose tone match! 5

[6] This is a great mixer, it makes anything sound better without almost any tweak, I tested it with my two Bose S1 Pro speakers, and it sounds amazing, also I tried it with other "bad sounding" Harbinger speakers that were sounded very bad with the harbinger mixer, and it makes a huge difference, it makes the sound shine impressively, every person in the gig was impressed of the good sound it can produce. Also, it helped me a lot by improving my installation/ setup time using the scenes feature. Missing features would be: 1) to include a Bluetooth channel as the S1 Pro integrated mixer, 2) to be able to recall volume of every channel when saving the scenes. 3) add the xlr/ plug option for the auxiliary inputs 4) allow the user to specify to what channel phantom power will be applied. 5

[8] I’ve been using ToneMatch since 2012 and Iam BLESSED with this Product. I use this device so much that I was hoping BOSE would release their next version with more channels and added features. With T8S mixing will be awesome yet compact with KN the move gigs. ToneMatch is so good that I hope Bose will release its 16 Channel or 32 Channel full grade mixer, and best part are the presets that has always made my setup-Olyg & Play so Easy. I’ve literally setup my entire band sound with L1 Conpact and 3 Musicians And 2 singers in less than 20 minutes, just using the presets. Thank you BOSE. Best Wishes! 5

Jerry	11/06/2024
[48 kHz] I have been using T4 for several years and I just upgraded to the T8S. How can I download users manual for my T8S mixer? 5

Kenny	17/05/2024
[1x RJ45] I'm liking my new Bose T8S mixer. I like: 8 channels (with two aux inputs for a possible 10 inputs. STEREO! Simply pan where you want a channel to be in the stereo field. Of course, this requires a stereo-capable PA. Compact size Intuitive layout and operation. In fact, if you are upgrading from a T1 like me, it operates the same so there's little to no learning curve at all, just more channels. Note: Be sure and upgrade the firmware before use. 5
