Why is the Bose Recording Equipment power LED red after booting?
The power LED may remain red after booting, most often because of a design file or firmware mismatch. To resolve this, retrieve the saved design from the EX-1280C, then send a blank design to it. The LED should then turn white. After the upgrade, re-send the previous design by importing it into the latest version of CSD.
What to do if Bose Recording Equipment sound is distorted?
If the sound from your Bose Recording Equipment is distorted: * Use ControlSpace Designer software to check that the audio input signal indicator blocks are not solid red or flashing red. If they are, lower the input pre-gain until the input is no longer clipping. * Also using the software, verify the audio output signal indicator blocks. If they are red and the input indicators are green, reduce the output gain or any gain in the signal path using the Designer software. * If the input source signal is clean and the input and output indicators are green, make sure the loudspeakers are not being overdriven or damaged.
What to do if Bose EX-1280C Recording Equipment shows unexpected IP address?
If your Bose EX-1280C Recording Equipment displays an unexpected IP address (169.X.X.X or 172.X.X.X.X) in the Network Settings, this usually happens when the device is set to DHCP but there is no DHCP server on the network. To fix this, either add a DHCP server to your network or assign a static IP address to the EX-1280C.
What to do if Bose EX-1280C Recording Equipment has no network connectivity?
If your Bose EX-1280C Recording Equipment has no network connectivity from ControlSpace Designer: * First, ensure the EX-1280C processor has fully booted, indicated by a solid white Power/Status LED. * Next, check that the LAN settings on your PC's TCP/IP Ethernet device are correct. If you are not using a DHCP server, manually set the PC's IP address to an unused one (e.g., 192.168.0.10) and ensure the default IP Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. * Also, check your PC's firewall settings and unblock all ports. * Verify that the correct Host Network Interface Card Name is selected in ControlSpace Designer Hardware Manager, and that no other device on the network has the same IP address.
What to do if no sound from Bose Recording Equipment even when power is on?
If your Bose Recording Equipment has power but no sound: * First, check for an input signal from the source using ControlSpace Designer software. The audio input metering should be in the green or yellow range. * Then, verify that there is an output signal, ensuring the audio output signal metering is also in the green or yellow range.
What to do if no Dante audio subscriptions or audio from Bose EX-1280C Recording Equipment?
If you are experiencing no Dante audio subscriptions or audio from your Bose EX-1280C Recording Equipment, ensure that the EX-1280C’s Dante IP address is on the same network as the EX-1280C’s ControlSpace control IP address. You can check this on the EX-1280C Config > Dante Info front panel menu. To change the EX-1280C Dante IP, use Audinate’s Dante Controller software. Sometimes, changing the PC’s network settings from static IP to DHCP can help in viewing and changing the Dante IP address.
How to troubleshoot no AmpLink audio from Bose EX-1280C Recording Equipment?
If you are not receiving AmpLink audio from your Bose EX-1280C Recording Equipment connected to an AmpLink-enabled amplifier, ensure that a shielded CAT-5 network cable is being used for AmpLink. Also, verify that the amplifier is set to receive AmpLink channels 1-8.
How to troubleshoot Bose Recording Equipment when there is no power?
To troubleshoot a 'no power' situation with your Bose Recording Equipment: * Plug in the IEC power cord. * Check the mains power supply.
Why is the Bose ControlSpace EX-1280C Computer Hardware power LED red after booting?
If the Bose Computer Hardware power LED remains red after booting, it's often due to a mismatch between the design file and the firmware. Try retrieving the saved design from the EX-1280C and sending a blank design to it. The LED should turn white. Then, resend the previous design after upgrading it by importing the design into the latest version of CSD.
How to fix Bose ControlSpace EX-1280C Computer Hardware no EX-1280C network connectivity from ControlSpace Designer running on PC?
To troubleshoot no EX-1280C network connectivity from ControlSpace Designer running on a PC, first, ensure the EX-1280C processor is fully booted; the Power/Status LED should be solid white. Next, verify the LAN settings on your PC's TCP/IP Ethernet device are correct.
