Why is there no sound coming from my Bose Speaker System?

  If you're not getting any sound from your Bose Speaker System, first ensure that the L1 Pro is powered on and your instrument is properly connected to the Channel Input. Check that the volume is turned up both on your audio source and on the L1 Pro itself. Also, verify that the L1 Pro isn't in AutoOff/Low-power Standby mode and that the Channel Mute button is not engaged. To isolate the problem, try plugging your instrument into a different amplifier to confirm that the source is working correctly.

  If your Bluetooth device isn't connecting to your Bose Speaker System, ensure the passcode is correct if required. Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your device and that it's within range of the L1 Pro. Try turning off other nearby Bluetooth devices or disabling their Bluetooth functionality. You can also clear the speaker's memory by pressing and holding the Bluetooth Pair Button for ten seconds, then delete the L1 Pro from your device's Bluetooth memory and re-pair. Power cycling the speaker may also help.

  Brianna BrownAug 19, 2025
  To reduce microphone feedback on your Bose Speaker System, start by turning down the channel volume. Adjust the microphone's position so it's not pointing directly at the L1 Pro. Try using a different microphone or repositioning the L1 Pro and/or the vocalist on stage. Increasing the distance between the L1 Pro and the microphone can also help. If you're using a vocal effects processor, ensure it's not contributing to the feedback.

  If you hear a hum or buzz from your Bose Speaker System when nothing is plugged in, use an AC outlet tester to check the AC outlet for reversed or open (hot, neutral, and/or ground) contacts. If you're using an extension cord, try plugging the L1 Pro directly into the outlet.
