Forum: S1 Pro System

I'm looking to purchase 2 Bose S1's with the intent of running a wireless PA system, but have a few questions first (but from what I have researched think that this is possible).... I just need confirmation it s indeed possible to setup as per below: 1. Run my first Bose system with a wireless Sennheiser XSW-D micreceiver into my first S1 speaker mic in, and also a wireless XSW-D guitar instrument receiver into guitar in. 2. Use the Bluetooth function to stream my IPod to this first speaker...Read More...

Yes, there would be a delay between the first S1 and your second S1. This is just my personal experience with the Xvive system. Perhaps Sennheiser system works better, I don’t now.Read More...

Using more than one pair of F1's with subwoofers per side

ST
Hi, Tony. Thanks for the interesting question. Here are the main things you need to know. If you use four F1 Model 812s (instead of two), place the F1 Model 812s where you need the sound (not bundled together). There is not much value in placing two F1 Model 812s together (or stacked) in one location. In theory, you might get up to +3 dB gain in SPL, but you may also introduce Multiple Source Interference because the F1 Model 812s are providing the mid-high frequencies. You don't get the...Read More...

Evening all, I would like to use my S1 Pro's line out and connect it into my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge android phone to record what is going through the S1 (guitar and vocals) onto the phome's vouce recorder.

Hi, Chris M. How will you use the recordings? Performances To record performances so I can review them later, I'll go with the simplest solution; a phone, portable recorder, or tablet. I'll use the built-in microphone in the device. I want to capture what happened in the room. I don't need a pristine copy of what I played and sang.

Updates for L1 and Tone Match

Forum: L1 Family of Products
0 likes · 241 views
A friend of mine asked me for help to update his L1 Compact System. He had tried to do that himself for his PA that he had bought in 2010 (assumed). After starting to learn about updating on www.bose.com/musicians I understand - at least to some extend - the trouble he is having as being a not too IT-affin person. For example in the instructions you read about zip-files which you only will find on second or even third level search. So: The web-page is really not easy to use for a musician.Read More...

Hi, I am new to this forum and would like to ask a few questions. We are a group of 3 musicians that perform with Bose gear. We are not familiar with intricate craft of mixing and setting up the gear and most of the time we use it in very crude fashion. I am classical guitar player and need use S1 Pro PA as a monitor only for guitar and NOT other members of the group. We don't seem to find the right set up where we can send only one voice (in this case guitar) to be monitored. I suspect we...Read More...
