I'll start with what we added. Channels 1,2,3 and 4 all have combo XLR-1/4" inputs. There's a channel 5 and 6 that is 1/4" TRS. The big one is stereo outputs and processing. Two digital ToneMatch outputs and parallel analog 1/4" TRS. Added a headphone jack. New magnetic cover, new 1/4"-20 threaded insert at the bottom for use with mounting hardware, tap-tempo delay, dedicated Aux reverb, a second Aux out, 3-band PEQ per channel, pan (of course), master out 5-band EQ, USB playback (WAV/MP3) from thumb drives, new industrial design. I'm probably forgetting something...

What did we take away from the T1 to the T4S? We removed the L1 and mic stand adapter (instead have a common 1/4"-20 insert), and we took away the preamp outs based on customer feedback that it was used very infrequently. Hope this info helps!

Note
The T4S/T8S ToneMatch® Mixers are compatible with the L1 Pro System[1]s (announced October 2020).

The T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine requires two connections to the L1 Pro System[1]s: one for power, one for audio. Please see: T1 Compatibility With L1 Pro Systems


Here's a quick rundown of the additions and changes
  • Stereo outputs and processing
    • T4S: Two digital ToneMatch outputs and parallel analog 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve
    • T8S: Two XLR analog outputs two analog 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve

  • Combo inputs
    • T4S: Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 all have combo XLR-1/4" inputs
    • T8S: Channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 all have combo XLR-1/4" inputs
  • Auxilliary inputs (routed to Main with Level and Pan controls)
    • T4S: Aux Channels 5 and 6 are 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve
    • T8S: Aux Channel 9 and 10 that are 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve

  • Master out 6-band EQ
  • Higher signal output (approximately +10 dB) and this provides greater compatibility with the F1 Model 812 Flexible Array Loudspeaker
  • USB playback (WAV/MP3) from thumb drives
  • New industrial design
  • New magnetic cover


Removed/Changed

  • Removed the L1® Cylindrical Radiator® stand and the mic stand adapter (replaced by the common 1/4"-20 insert)
  • Removed the preamp outs based on customer feedback that they were seldom used
  • There are eleven scenes available in the T4S/T8S ToneMatch® Mixers:
Five Bose Scenes (that can be overwritten) and
Six user scenes
The T1® has eleven user read/writeable Scenes and five Bose read only Scenes.
T1 Scenes backed up to a computer can not be restored to a T4S/T8S (different architecture for reverb)
  • New Reverb engine
    • Global Reverb Time parameter is expressed in percentage compared to the T1® in seconds (details)
  • Channel 4 (T4S compared to T1)
