Hey DJ's and KJ's,

I'd like to know what features would be most important to you as DJs and KJs.

Thanks,
Craig

Question:
What new T1 features are most important to you?

Choices:
Stereo
More channels
Cue Feature
Different connections
Headphone jack

 

If you guys can add a cross fader in the mix of whatever you guys are planning to do. I guarantee other djs in our forums would be very pleased.

Given the T1 has to have an edge for every type of musician out there in the world. But couldn't you make something that could have a small cross fader and knobs like rane has in the past for it's mixers?

I like simple!
First make it Stereo / Mono. Then give me one or two more inputs with independent volume and mute dials and I’m a happy camper!

Oh… and make those panel lights visible in sunlight.

A cross fader is not on my list. I fear a new T1 that will be more complex and more expensive than I really want or can afford.

I also believe, making it something both DJ's and musicians can use will make it more marketable and less expensive than designing and manufacturing something just for the DJ market would be.

Need cue feature. The Stereo piece has a workaround. No workaround on cueing if your software is locked to a single sound card.

I made a discussion like this almost a year ago called "let's make some noise", glad to see the people at Bose are finally interested.

Here's my new list:

Rack mountable with it taking no more than 4 spaces.

At least 3 sets of stereo ins.

Stereo/ Mono - give us a summed mono option if we are using one L1.

Headphone jack & cue options for stereo ins.

Faders/cross fader

3 band eq with knobs for each of the stereo channels. > maybe use the R1 jacks in the Mod. 1.

For those who have the Mod. II - allow the use of the Tone Match cable.

For those who use a Laptop, add a sound card option like on the T1.

Built in effects & presets LIKE ON THE t1.

Have it sound less digital/processed than the T1.

Add a clock - why not put one in there- we all use them as DJ & I've never seen a DJ mixer have one. Make it so you can engage it or disengage it for those who don't want to see what time it is all the time.

Lastly don't be afraid of making it a bit more user friendly for live performances. Think more space - bigger knobs & once again if at all possible add faders.

Thanks-
DJ JD

Are we discussing things that might be possible with the current T1 and a firmware upgrade, or the design of a new unit?

I think having access to two more channels, mappable to Main/Aux, would solve the cue issue (assuming you had a dual, male unbalanced 1/4" to stereo female headphone plug handy - and not Hosa's!).

Jd those are the perfect features if they can add that but the cost of the product would be so high we would be at the Alan and Heath Xone 4 level. But, I do see where you are coming with this.

COME TO THINK OF IT! SUPPORT THE DJBASS EXPERIMENT(idea). Come on Bose do this for us and your guaranteed a newer market trend to our djs. Show off Alan and Heath, Pioneer, Denon. I dare ya!

I second the rock & roller, that's what I use too.

I suggest that if Bose wants to make a DJ mixer they should do just that, make a real DJ mixer. If any other company made the T1 NO DJ out there would even consider using it. I understand the reasons why every one here has bought it & learned to use it. My point is that as more DJ's consider if they want to take the L1 plunge, a DJ mixer that integrates into the system which has a minimal learning curve would be very enticing.

Hello to all.

We now have separate discussion threads for:

Every DJ should have a hand truck

and

Add a Bose complementary system to my Model II

I felt we were leading into a possible idea for the T1 here but thanks for the separate thread anyway. Was waiting for Dynamite to help me with this. Guess he can catch up on the new thread and we can go from there.

Your T1® related comments are quoted in the post two above so that those thoughts would remain in this discussion about the T1®.

Start with stereo & go from there. I think second should be a rackmount option.

Hi Craig,
Thanks for asking. Take a look at the latest Pioneer DJM 5000 and than incorporate the brilliant Bose Tone Match and you have the world’s best DJ Mixer. I hope that some of you will agree with me.

The Denon X500 or DJM 5000 & then I'll agree with you!

Except make sure that it works with a 64-bit Operating System.

I have both and was wondering how you would hook it up. I also bought a pioneer efx 500 and I hook that up to the send receive for the efx

Stereo inputs or more channels and add channels to the r1

And most important, have it ready in time for Christmas!

I think JD has just about covered it all but perhaps to make it more adaptable for different users it might be possible to make it modular e.g.
Channel module (say 4 stereo channels with faders with optional mono input, sends and eq)
Master out module (with main output fader, stereo/mono outputs, headphone out)
Crossfader module (with cueing)

It may work out slightly more expensive but at least you can buy exactly what you need.
