About

StageRemote

Features
Read full description

StageRemote is a dead-simple Bluetooth remote for your Bose L1 Pro portable line array โ€” with the one control the official app leaves out: a true MASTER FADER. Set the balance between your three channels once, then ride the whole mix up and down together with a single fader, just like the master bus on a real mixing console. Your channel levels stay put; the master scales what actually reaches the speaker. BUILT FOR THE STAGE โ€ข Master fader โ€” move all channels together without losing your balance. โ€ข Three channel faders with clear dB readouts and live signal / limiter indicators. โ€ข Big, glove-friendly controls and a dark, glare-free look for dim stages. โ€ข Thumb-only grab on the faders so a stray touch never nudges your mix. โ€ข The screen stays awake while you play โ€” no auto-lock mid-set. SCENES (VENUE RECALL) Save the setup for a room you play often under its name. Next time, pick it from the list and StageRemote smoothly ramps your channels back to that mix โ€” names and levels restored, ready in seconds. RECONNECTS THE RIGHT WAY If Bluetooth drops mid-show and comes back, StageRemote reads what the speaker is actually playing and matches it โ€” it never forces its own levels onto your live sound. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No internet. No analytics. No ads. Everything stays on your device โ€” the only thing StageRemote talks to is your speaker, over Bluetooth. โ€” StageRemote is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Bose Corporation.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: SAMI at Free against StageRemote's $11.99. StageRemote's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
