Let's use this topic to capture our ideas for feature requests for the T4S/T8S ToneMatch Mixers.
Tell us what you would like to see added, and why.
We can't promise that Bose will acknowledge or act on every request, but you can be sure that they are following this discussion closely.

1) rack mountable.
2)better and bigger screen display. It's 2018, I'm expecting a more robust, better graphic than the current dinosaur display with graphics from the 1990s era.
Three sets of stereo inputs... or a way to link channels to make more stereo inputs... a 19” rack mounting option.
Different reverb types on different channels instead of one global reverb type applied to all channels.
This request comes from @ScubaBadger in Reverb and effects on T4S
My ideal system would be a T8s with an ethernet output compatible with Dante, MADI, EtherSound, or A&E ME-U. For gigs large enough to need monitors, performers like individual mixes. Looks like the T4/T8 aux outs are selectable per input channel, but I need each input routed to multiple outputs and separate monitor mixes. Something like the Dante or A&E ME-1 make this easy. I currently carry the A&E QU-16 when I need these, but I find the mixer itself is big, bulky, and over-kill. I also need to retain physical buttons and volume controls, like the T1/T4/T8. iPad or iPhone mixer control surface do not work for me.
Thanks,

Inputs 5&6 to be treated as left and right at the two digital output stage - switchable to full mono (summed stereo) to each digital output.
I would like to stream audio backing tracks from the USB drive into the T8S mixer.
How is this accomplished?
Am I able to select tracks, start and stop them.
Is there some kind of transport controls for USB drives?
Not much clarification in manuals on how to navigate and use backing tracks.
I understand the routing of outputs, but that is all I see that is covered.
Absolutely silly to have not allowed for usb midi control of effects in these new mixers. Tap tempo addressed only from the mixer itself, come on Bose! Especially now that it looks like no easy way to mount on mic stand. Not even a dedicated tap button on the mixer?This should not be that complex to get right. There are cheap mixers with tap tempo control via 1/4 inch jacks. The usb ports are there,why not use 'em?
I've been using the T1 for years and figured the newer models would address this oversight.
Just got the T8S. Here are two thoughts from me...
1. The ability to combine channel 9/10 volume control. I have it panned hard L/R, and have to adjust both knobs if there is a volume difference between songs.
2. Global Master Output EQ. Lowest point is 125hz? That is much to high for a full range system. I think there should be a 50hz band added, or at least widen what is currently there to start at 50hz.
Another for one knob volume control for 5/6, 9/10

If we look at the time frame for upgrading from T1 to T4S it is going to be several years before Bose do an upgrade of a physical nature on the new mixers.
Sadly, a new MKll version of T4S won’t arrive in my performing life.
Well, not quite how I see it. You can already route the aux ins to channel 3 and 4. Seems plausible through software to add an option to route both aux inputs to 3 "or" 4, giving you one knob to control both aux inputs
Hi Louis Watson,
You can't change the routing on the Aux Inputs. They connect directly to the Master Output. You can change the level and pan but not route them to a channel.

Add more preset for Sennheiser mics.

I too would like the abiliity to apply different reverb types with different time settings per channel on a T8S!
I remember submitting feature requests when Bose was working towards T4/T8 S from the T1.
Does anybody have a list of user requests that actually made it to reality in these new mixers, or are we just fantasizing about things that we'd like to have but ain't gonna get?
Once again, a USB port that can be used for Midi commands to control the awesome depth of these mixers is a no brainer.
Bose designers, are you able to tweak the firmware in these existing mixers to make this possible at some point, or is that only gonna happen ( maybe) in the next edition? Can't buy this as it stands. I'll stick with T1 and other mixers.
Hi Otis Scarecrow,
Thanks for your question and suggestion. Check out:
Bose T4S and T8S ToneMatch® Mixers Compared to Bose T1® ToneMatch Audio Engine
You got the Global EQ.
We can't comment on other features that may or may not be in development but we're reading everyone's input here.
Thank you!

The single biggest most crazy change from T1 to T4S ...
We have started a new discussion for this topic:

make the t8s have digital outputs to L1 systems,
make the effects more like the t1 tonematch,

Hi Rory,
Thank you for joining the Bose Portable PA Community.

Unfortunately, the L1 Model II and L1 Model 1S systems cannot provide enough power to reliably run the T8S. More information here: T8S no ToneMatch port connection to L1®
make the effects more like the t1 tonematch,
We updated the T4S/T8S Reverb and acknowledge that it's not an exact match for the T1. We're looking into that. The other settings should map T1->T4S/T8S with the exception of ParaEQ because we gave you three Parametric EQs for each channel.

Thanks for the suggestion.
