Putting it on a speaker stand makes a world of difference in sounds. I just hooked up a 10" monitor to the line out. Man it turns this thing into a sound monster. I also have a 12" powered speaker if needed. Fora nice carry case Walmat has storage containers. A Sterilite 7.5 gallon container fits it like it was made for it.
Brought mine 23 months ago, a Jazz Guitarist, doesn't match up with my Gibson 335 1963 model ( Humbucker Pickups) more suited to P90's, not the fault of the Bose. Run volume level up to around 70% use a Line 6 MM4 Modulation pedal, I've been playing for 60 years, had all the big short leg long arm heavy tube amps, this little Bose is brilliant especially tone wise, battery powered, super light, patch it into the PA or add another self powered speaker cab. Typical bose, great quality and sound, use your ears.
This thing is the solution to a lot of problems. I love small, simple, cost effective things that do alot of duties. I used to be be a gearhead and rack unit nerd. It's just too much crap to go wrong on stage. Also too much set up and tear down time. Not needing power is awsome too.
yes you can. I use a non powered mackie mixer. Plug speakers out to the bose in. I use a Tc Helicon acoustic vocal processer, a drum machine, also an extra mic . Works well ....
So 1) with (2) BOSE S1 Pros, you can use iPhone app to PAIR 2, or line out 1/4 cable connect PAIR 2 together? 2) if you have have 2 Bose S1 Pros, you increase your overall ability to have any combination of 4 microphones or 4 1/4 jacks cables for like 2 acoustic guitars, 1 microphone and 1 keyboard, yes?
I have two S1-Pro’s. I’ll take them over my L1 Pro 8 and perhaps even a 16. THAT’S HOW GOOD ! AND! NO Voice limiter ! that is on the the 8 16 and 32 which is death ! …..if your running tracks,mic and guitar Why Does Bose not address the low threshold on the L1-Pro series same low threshold on the whole series despite the power differences ?
Volume controls are on the wrong side. Most guitarists are right handed and would place it to their right like you have. This puts the volume controls on the left in a very awkward position!
Hi. You can link 2 Bose S1 units using Bluetooth in stereo mode (left and right) or party mode (dual mono). You can link as many Bose S1 units you would like by using the ¼” TRS Line Out and daisy chaining to the next S1’s input.
Bose in Australia refuse to answer this question which is very unprofessional and rude - maybe you can tell me. With the built in bluetooth, can you operate 4 individual speakers to work at the same time?
rubbersole79 thanks ! I did buy one from Sam Ash and my keyboard and voice sound great. I personally would not use it a large room. Great for small venues. Also the reverb is nice !!
It is ok for LIGHT PA applications. Acoustic guitar and some vocal, but as with anything this small, it reaches its limits pretty quickly. Sounds good, very hi-fi yes, but not for DJ use - trust me on this one.
Darren Turner Bose indicates it can be used for DJ applications, but this would be more as a ceremony or remote speaker. I tested/reviewed the unit myself and even for musicians it is extremely limited output wise. Putting vocals through the unit, it was way too easy to limit, especially considering its very high price. One of my DXR8s produces significantly more SPL without being even close to limit when I compared the two with a vocal mic plugged in. The Bose is cute and practical, but very limited in what it can put out quite simply...
If the presenter cannot sing, why is he reviewing this equipment? I don’t get it. Performers want to hear what other performers sound like so they can gage , how the system will work for them. He’s not even talking through the system. Instead of sales people, have actual singers and performers review this system, or are you afraid it won’t measure up? How does it sound when both performers are channeling through it.
Well🤔 I can't believe the hype around this speaker. After reading, listening and watching countless reviews about the Bose S1 pro plus I was just about to order one. My wise husband said not to buy anything I hadn't heard for myself. I had to travel 40+ miles to find a shop that sold them. What a muddy unclear sound it made and to make matters worse it was begining to distort the sound not even at full volume. Those of you who big this speaker up I can only say each to his own but I was less than impressed 🙄. They gave me a demo of a considerably cheaper but named brand product that was crystal clear and far louder. Will be ordering it Monday. My lesson for the day: always check it out for yourself and don't believe the hype.
Hi, Can we take the lineout of Bose S1 Pro, and connect to a audio interface for recording purposes. Typically to a behringer uca222. Can you help with details of cables.
i went to a party and they have a karaoke singer using this machine that’s why i want tu buy one too. But the problem is the price i know Bose is expensive.
capwkidd An overhead saveeve on a boom stand is recording into the video equipment. Guitar is direct into the overpriced bose. Bose is playing out directly to display its true tone, and not being picked up secondarily via a ribbon mike. If so, this video would be trying to impress you into buying the ribbon mike.
Listening through a decent DAC and on Sony Headphones I hear no difference at all between the different position settings that are supposedly triggered by the accelerometer. And the "Tonematch" appears to just be a low frequency cutoff, both for vocal and guitar. The guitar sounded better before you switched the tonematch guitar EQ on. Meh.
The battery on the wirless only last 4 hours .be lucky to last a gig. But the bose s1 last 10 hours. Why on earth would they do this. So then u mose well use a different wirless system that last 11 hours
Why doesn’t Bose invest more into quality protective bags for their amazing speakers? The backpack for S1 pro is $160.00! No protective foam, no water resistance, and questionable stitching. It’s just a piece of clothing that collapses under it’s own weight. I wouldn’t feel comfortable putting it in the trunk with the rest my gear even if it was “wearing” the expensive backpack. For a company that doesn’t compromise the quality of their speakers… I’m completely baffled as to why they’ve taken an “at least it’s better than nothing” approach to their gig bags.
Bose purposely built some limitations into this amplifier so that they can make a ton of extra money ! They made this unit so you can only use their extremely expensive batteries, which in return means that they have greatly inconvenienced you as a consumer! Bose could have easily built this amplifier so we could use external batteries such as lithium ion or a car battery or different power packs ! I think we should never support companies that are constantly taking away our options and choices ! A company that cares about you and your options and not only about their greed and selfishness would have built-in the option for you to use Lithium-ion batteries or a car battery or a power pack.... xcetera !!! When are you consumers going to smarten up and stop putting up with anything and everything that these greedy companies are throwing at us ! STOP BUYING PRODUCTS FROM COMPANIES THAT DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU ! Let them know that we are sick and tired of them taking our choices and options away from us, and we're no longer going to buy their products unless they start giving us what we want and what we need !!!!
Guy Homes I bought one the other day. They now sell it with the battery supplied. The padded cover is no longer supplied and apparently it also came with backpack (?) but that is no longer supplied. I’d take the battery over the cover and backpack.
I am a Bose fan BUT, I would rather use a Roland Street Cube EX than this Bose product.... Better battery life by a long shot, more effects and options, runs off industry standard non proprietary batteries, can be used with more instruments, comes with an app to use it to record, headphone out, it's cheaper, and from what I hear in this video through headphones the Roland sounds better. I have used a Bose L1M2 since they first came out and LOVE it, but this is a miss for me.
Billy Blaze, while the video gives a fairly accurate representation of the S1 sound, it must be heard to be believed. Extremely clean, and a shocking amount of bass response and overall SPL. Give it a shot, I think you’ll agree. :)
I was listening through studio headphones, and my ears are my living, although I know how RUclips compresses video files and cheapens the audio integrity of most videos...this one seems to be a pretty accurate representation of the sound.
sounds muddy somehow. And too much bass-boomy. Does it have Eq? i surely hope so ..... For the price i can`t say it impresses me. A bit disappointed. 800 with battery? With this sound? Nope....
I have some experience with sound due to my job.... Also i am listening through my audio interface and studio monitors (the linear response kind not the KRK kind.. :-) . The recording here sounds like a decent mic has been used. Of course you can hear the balance. Yes it is not the same as being there but after having watched dozens of reviews and videos youtube quality is sufficient to have a first taste despite people complaining about it. Bose also has the tendency to give bass an extra thump. I don`t know if they do it in order to impress people or if it just is their taste but i haven`t heard a linear response Bose speaker till today. All the computer speakers and portable bluetooth speakers have a blown up bass. And this reminds me of this sound signature. I am not saying it is super bad or anything, i just like linear more than this implemented loudness Bose, Jbl and the likes like to use. I am waiting for a test of the Korg Konnect to see how it performs. I also find the Bose way to expensive for what it is
how do you rate this product thru you tube ? it's your shitty headphones jackass. As far as boomy bass it was at the halfway point which buy people who actually listen to music, is known as "flat" . as was Treble so you can go way higher and way lower. I will demo one but at 15 lbs. and a singer or guitar monitor and a Bluetooth connection not too damned bad.
almost all if not all portable Bose speakers have an emphasis in the low end which by the way is no secret and is there in order to impress experts like you. And this speaker sounds like this. So experts like you can buy it. You might be right . My Sennheiser Hd 650 have an unreliable response and youtube 192 kbit is not enough to judge the tilt of a speaker. My God i hadn`t had a good lough like this for a long time. And you`re calling me a jackass. Oh man, thats too good to be true. Thank you. I needed a good lough for a long time now. Priceless :-)
@@CrossoverClassic Because Bose is not a pro audio company , in the real sense. Aside from the 802, which lacked decent bass response, it has rarely been taken seriously by any production company. It has never been able to break into the pro audio market where companies like EV, QSc, RCF, and JBL sit. The industry just doesnt take them seriously enough. Also, they are bad "Bang for Buck". Over priced! That said, there are plenty of "installation companies" that will "sell" their product to restaurants and bars.. But thats cos the clients know the bose brand from hifi and dont know that its over rated and over priced in the pro audio space of the market.
What I take away from this, is this.....2 lonely guys whom have yet to find their first girlfriend! In a word,,,, Uncomfortable! You just know these two ar re future apartment roommates once they move out of mothers basement.
Impressive, but does it deliver enough dynamic bass...

Man Id love to see a review of a classical guitar in this system
I could hear a lot of hiss, is this coming from the Bose? 😕
Could I use 2 of these in a live band setting for vocals for metal and rock ? or do I need something louder
Huh??
This thing is the solution to a lot of problems. I love small, simple, cost effective things that do alot of duties. I used to be be a gearhead and rack unit nerd. It's just too much crap to go wrong on stage. Also too much set up and tear down time. Not needing power is awsome too.
Anyone here can reply me for my question about connecting this device to TV also?
My question is this...can I put it through a mixer using the 2 xlr outs?
Those are XLR inputs
yes you can. I use a non powered mackie mixer. Plug speakers out to the bose in. I use a Tc Helicon acoustic vocal processer, a drum machine, also an extra mic . Works well ....
Can you recommend a wireless microphone system as a best fit for the Bose S1?
I'm rocking a Sennheiser E835 with a switch and a set of NU-X B4 connectors for wireless compatibility
Edney Celebrations thanks for the reply!!!
Edney Celebrations I could not find the NUX-B4 online. Found an NUX-B3.
15lbs is amazing. There are other high powered busking units out there if you want to haul things around. But for portability, this Bose truly wins!

You did not show if guitar and pa system will same time.

Can you recommend a suitable stand for use with this speaker?
Bose has one that goes with it
Volume controls are on the wrong side. Most guitarists are right handed and would place it to their right like you have. This puts the volume controls on the left in a very awkward position!
Hmmm, well how about you put the speaker on the other side of the player?

Good question, I have a Bose L1 and there have been times when I really wished it had phantom power for a condenser mic.
You would need a separate phantom power supply.
