Do I need to update?

Note: You do NOT need to update the firmware to the L1® Model II unless

  1. you are using a B2 bass module AND
  2. the Bass Level switch on the back on the B2 does not change the sound of the system

Firmware Prerequisites

You need a computer and a T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine or T4S or T8S ToneMatch Mixer[1] to do firmware updates to your L1® Model II or Model 1S.

How to tell if your Model II supports the B2 Bass Module

Warning

If your firmware update is not successful - Caution

After you update the T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine or L1 Model II firmware, if you see a window on the PC that says the update was not successful, you should:

  1. turn the L1 and T1 off
  2. wait three seconds
  3. then turn the L1 and T1 back on

Do this before trying the update again!

This allows the L1 and T1s to re-establish a good copy of the software.

We recommend upgrading from 'L1 model II Firmware' version 1.0 or 1.1
