The Tonematch is essentially the Mixing desk with separate FX (Compression/Modulation/Reverb/Delays etc etc) for each channel and in addition provides finer EQ control over each channel to the point where you can actually input what particular Mike or Guitar or (to an extent) Keyboard you are using to provide even more control, tonally, over your overall sound.

I just was over at the Bose forums recently, and they casually mentioned that the crossover point between the Subs (B1s) are slightly higher in the Model 2, which I believe might help with the "hole" that can be heard in the lower mids of the old system. Additionally, (regarding that) I have been stacking my B1s vertically as recommended by many on the forum, as it provides a fuller, rounder, and even more punchy(!) Bass sound - placement of the B1s can make a big difference depending on the room.

Hammer, you really should go over to the Bose forums (and the Bose Wiki) and do a search on...well ANYTHING you want to know, as I practically guarantee you - it's been covered.


Love or hate the Bose, there's no denying that the Bose Forums are absolutely INCREDIBLE when it comes to discussions, help, advice, Technical issues - geez just about ALL anyone would want to know about the system.

Go there now if you're still interested in the Bose - really.....right now - you will be amazed.
