I have another question. How would just one F1 Model 812 (no sub) do in a live setting backing track, guitar and vocals...as the only PA system? Would it be stupid and weak sounding with 1-812 one say the right or left side of the stage? Will it be really low sounding in the audience on the opposite side of where the speaker is positioned? I've read it still sounds loud and clear beyond 100 degree claim...can anyone give more first hand info? Do you think F1 would fill a mid sized 150-300...Read More...

Hi David. You make a lot of good points, and the need for battery power may not be for everyone. But to the question of how often one accesses battery power when AC is available, in my case, more often than I might have thought. Since it's so easy to charge up the S1Pro and it provides such good battery life, I find myself using it for gigs even if I have AC. It's so much simpler than messing with extension cords, power cords, inconveniently located wall outlets, etc. Granted, this is a...Read More...

I agree with ST, there are many advantages to using the L1 Model II system including coverage ease of use and portability... I'd say go that and give it a whirl it might be the perfect fit.Read More...

Hi Ben, Thank you for joining the Bose Portable PA Community. Please tell us more about the inputs you will have for the ToneMatch mixer. They are all similar in terms of ease of use, functionality, and compact size for what you get. The T4S and T8S will give you stereo. You don't need that with the L1® Compact but you'll appreciate it if you get a second one. The T4S and T8S give you the option on reverb on the Aux 1 output. You'll appreciate that if you get an S1 Pro or something similar...Read More...

Thank you ST.........always expertly informative.Read More...

Hi Jim, It sounds like you've got a plan. When you get your T4S mixers, you can explore using the Aux Output(s) to the S1 Pro for your monitor. Please let us know how this all works out for you. Thanks, ST PS - thanks for the picture of your fine looking band.Read More...

Thanks ST. I appreciate the advice! Hope ya have a good'un!Read More...

Hi Wes, Thank you for joining the Bose Portable PA Community. I'm glad you're here. Bluetooth stereo isn't supported for the S1 Pro. The closest you can get is dual mono. Connect to the first S1 Pro via Bluetooth. Connect the first S1 Pro Line out to the second S1 Pro channel one or channel 2. Is there anything else you'd like to know about the S1 Pro? STRead More...

Hi Andreas, If you're getting the results you want with one extension, that's great. Here's what Bose has said about this. Q: Why does Bose say that I have to use both extensions? A: You can use either or both extensions but we didn't see applications where there are advantages to using one so we don't promote it that way. — Source: Ken-at-Bose Extended Position Recommended for larger audiences, the extended position allows users to elevate the L1 Compact loudspeaker array, enabling it to...Read More...

I superglued the vertical mounting bracket for the T1 to one of the tower extensions. This gives me two choices for where to mount it - if I plug that extension in first, then the T1 sits just above the base of the Compact. If I plug the other extension in first, then the T1 bracket sits at about waist level. And then I just slide the horizontal mounting bar in like you would with any other L1 system.Read More...

I have been around the block and back to the sm58. I am thrilled with how it sounds on the L1. I learned years ago, no one mic is going to make me a better singer, no matter how many different ones I try.Read More...

Thanks O..Read More...
