What to do if my Bose Speaker System's power LED is green but there is no sound?
- S
  Stephanie OliverAug 23, 2025
  If the power LED on your Bose Speaker System is green but you're not hearing any sound, ensure that the volume control on your instrument is turned up. Also, check that the Trim level control is turned up on the power stand. Verify that your instrument is properly plugged into the Analog Input jack and try using a different cable to connect your instrument to the power stand. To rule out issues with your instrument, plug it into a different amplifier to confirm it's working correctly.

  To fix a distorted sound from your Bose Speaker System, first check if the Signal/Clip LED is constantly red. If it is, lower the trim level. If the issue persists, try using a different audio source or instrument. You can also test your current source or instrument on another power stand to identify the problem.

  If your B1 bass module is plugged in but you're not hearing any bass audio, ensure you are using the included 4-wire B1 bass module cable. Verify that the cable is securely plugged into the Bass Module Out connector. Try using a different 4-wire cable and, if possible, test with a different B1 bass module to isolate the issue.

Why does a third-party subwoofer sound poor with my Bose L1 Model II Speaker System?
- V
  Victoria WatsonAug 28, 2025
  If a third-party-powered subwoofer sounds poor when connected to the Bass - Line Out connector on the power stand: * Unplug any B1 bass modules connected to the power stand. * The signal from the Bass - Line Out may be too high for the powered subwoofer; try attenuating the signal using commercially available direct boxes or in-line pad devices. * Try different connections to the third-party-powered subwoofer, such as balanced or unbalanced cabling and/or a direct box. * Check that the gain and input controls on the third-party-powered subwoofer are set appropriately. * If using a powered subwoofer with an adjustable crossover, set the crossover to 180Hz.

Why do my B1 bass modules sound poor when powered by a third-party amplifier with my Bose L1 Model II Speaker System?
- J
  Jordan ObrienAug 29, 2025
  If B1 bass modules powered by a third-party power amplifier and connected to the Bass - Line Out connector sound poor, ensure that at least two B1 bass modules are directly connected to the Bass Module Out connector on the power stand using a B1 bass module 4-wire cable. Check the gain settings on the third-party power amplifier, and ensure the volume level of the B1 bass modules powered by the power stand is similar to the bass modules powered by the external amplifier.
