Used my Bose l1 Pro 8 for the first time this weekend. Coming out of my Rane mixer using XLR and going to each speaker to line 1. I noticed one of my speakers only had sound coming from the bass unit. I nearly had a heart attack but quickly decided to troubleshoot. I powered the speaker off and back on and still nothing. I then took the top column off and then reconnected it. That seemed to do the trick even though I didn't notice that the column was not inserted correctly in the first place. Anyone else have this issue? The speaker worked fine the rest of the night but I'm more curious to see if this has happened to anyone else or do I just need to be extra careful making sure I have a nice tight fit when setting these up.
Hey Joe,
When using the L1 Pro systems, make sure that the speaker array is pushed into the Powerstand until you have a secure connection.
Yes same problem. 1st 2 times the Bose l1 pro 8 system was used - everything worked correctly. 3rd time the system was assembled - a very muffled sound would only come out of the base - the line array would not work. We then connected the line array directly to the base without the extender and the system worked. Also, the system with the extender is wobbly. I am afraid it will fall over. I spent too much money for this not to work. Is there a problem with the extender that it needs to be replaced? is there a fix? Also an fix for the wobbling if I ever get it working with the extender. Very unhappy with the Bose. I have to bring my old fender passport - just in case the Bose will not work. So very unhappy. Does Bose have a fix? Are they aware of the problem?
