No mid/high sounds heard

from the L1 Cylindrical

Radiator™ loudspeaker

• Make sure L1 Cylindrical Radiator™ loudspeakers are firmly seated in their connectors.

• Make sure connections are not bent or broken.

• Try cleaning the contacts on the L1 Cylindrical Radiator™ loudspeakers with electronic

contact spray cleaner.

System momentarily mutes

when changing presets or

plugging/unplugging the

B1 bass module

• This is a feature of the PS1 power stand that allows the user to hear that internal

changes have been made.

Microphone sounds 

distorted

• Make sure the red clip light is not constantly on. If it is, lower the trim.

• Try a different microphone.

• Try your microphone on another PS1 power stand.

One of the four

instruments plugged into

the PS1 power stand is at

a lower volume than the

others

• If the instrument is plugged into Channel 3/4, use a direct box or high-to-low

transformer (high impedance instruments, such as non-active guitars or basses, are not

designed to be plugged directly into a low impedance input).

• If the instrument’s volume is still lower than the others, try a similar instrument in the

same channel. If this solves the problem, your instrument may not be working correctly.

Line OUT signals on 

channels 1 and 2 are very

loud when connected to

another PS1 power stand

or a mixer with only 

mic-level input

•The Line OUT jack operates at a +4dBu professional line level; It is meant to connect to

compatible mixing consoles.

• Use inline pads to reduce the signal gain to a manageable level.

• Line OUT is not meant to be used with PS1 power stands. Some advanced 

configurations are detailed online at www.bose.com/musicians.

Line OUT signals on 

channels 1 and 2 are very

noisy

• Check to make sure that the receiving device (mixer) is set up to receive a +4dBu level

signal.

• Try powering the receiving device from the same outlet as the PS1 power stand.

• Try using an XLR ground-lift barrel adapter or direct box.

Third-party powered sub-

woofer sounds poor when

connected to the Bass -

Line OUT connector on

the PS1 power stand

• Unplug any B1 bass modules that may be connected to the PS1 power stand.

• The signal from the Bass - Line Out may be too high for the powered subwoofer, try

attenuating the signal using commercially available direct boxes or in-line pad devices.

• Try different connections to the third-party powered subwoofer such as balanced or

unbalanced cabling and/or a direct box.

• Check that the gain and input controls on the third-party powered subwoofer are set

appropriately.

• If using a powered subwoofer with an adjustable crossover, set the crossover to 180Hz.

B1 bass modules powered

by a third-party power

amplifier and connected to

the Bass - Line OUT



connector sounds poor

• Ensure that at least two B1 bass modules are powered directly from the PS1 power

stand (connected to the PS1 power stand’s B1 Bass Module (Amp 3 OUT) jack) and

using the (blue) B1 bass module 4-wire cable.

• Check the gain settings on the third-party power amplifier. The volume level of the B1

bass modules powered by the PS1 power stand should be similar to the bass modules
