Bose Professional Debuts Powerful T8S
and T4S ToneMatch® Stereo Mixers
Compact stereo mixers without compromise, the T8S and T4S are the ultimate on-stage companion for performing artists.
The new eight-channel T8S ToneMatch mixer and the four-channel T4S ToneMatch mixer from Bose Professional.
Bose Professional has extended the ToneMatch® audio engine
series with the powerful new eight-channel T8S ToneMatch mixer
and the four-channel T4S ToneMatch mixer, representing the next
generation of the ToneMatch line and offering unprecedented
connectivity with intuitive control. Compact and portable, both the
T8S and T4S are gig-ready. Craig Jackson, Product Line Manager
for Bose Professional, remarks, “Typically you need to invest in
larger, more complicated consoles to get the audio quality and
powerful effect engine in the new ToneMatch mixers. Performers
value audio quality and options, but we know that in-performance
usability, portability and reliability are just as important.” Their
rugged enclosures have a protective, magnetically-coupled cover to
protect controls and connectors. A chassis-bottom insert allows the
use of standard mounting accessories to keep the mixers in reach
during performances.
About the T8S ToneMatch Mixer:
The performer-focused and compact eight-channel T8S ToneMatch
Mixer is intuitive to operate, with illuminated, stage-friendly tactile
controls, an easy-to-read display and scene recall. ToneMatch
processing presets with the powerful and advanced DSP engine
(including studio-quality effects and Bose zEQ equalization, which
redefines low, mid and high ranges for each ToneMatch preset)
making it easy for musicians to take control of their music. When
used with Bose® L1® and F1 systems, the T8S provides full end-to-
end tonal optimization.
Each T8S channel has dedicated ToneMatch, EQ, dynamics and
effects. The T8S effects includes compressor, limiter, de-esser,
noise gate, chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, delay and reverb
functions. Tap tempo delay and a chromatic tuner are built-in. Aux
send 1 has a dedicated reverb of its own while a master output EQ
helps compensate for venue acoustics.
The T8S offers high-density connectivity unparalleled in a small
digital stereo mixer. Eight high-quality audio preamps with XLR-
combo jacks accommodate microphones or instruments, with
switchable phantom power. Two Aux inputs allow for additional
source inputs. Outputs include four aux sends, balanced quarter-
inch TRS and XLR stereo outputs and an independent headphone
output. USB-A and USB-B connections allow for USB drive playback
or PC/Mac interface. The T8S includes a ToneMatch power supply.
Dimensions: 8.4” x 12.25” x 3.25” (214 mm x 311 mm x 83 mm).

About the T4S ToneMatch Mixer:
The four-channel T4S offers most of the same features as the T8S,
except for the following differences: the T4S features an Aux send
count of two, and outputs to either quarter-inch TRS balanced
stereo or dual ToneMatch links – designed to send digital audio
to L1 Model 1S/II systems while receiving power on the same
provided ToneMatch cable (note: when not used with an L1 system,
the T4S can also be optionally powered by an accessory ToneMatch
power supply). The final difference between the mixers is the T8S
exclusive output meter. Dimensions: 8.4” x 7.25” x 3.25” (214 mm x
184 mm x 83 mm).
