S1 Pro System

Hi Hjk, Use a balanced cable - please see: S1 Pro Daisy Chain STRead More...

Hey gang, thread I know but while debating between these two items over the last few weeks I came across this website here and then another which I think may be useful to those currently debating this choice right now as well. Check this comparison out http://switcher.oluvsgadgets.n...p;vidtwo=5kcNPiMidD0 For me the debate is over. Cheers!Read More...

Hello ST, I did what you advised, and it worked. Thank you for your response and time you took to troubleshoot this problem. You rock!!!Read More...

Hi Tim-MK, I run on battery power when There's no AC power available There is AC power available but I didn't feel like running the power cord to the outlet This happens all the time. I just appreciate not having to connect one more wire If I wanted to top up the battery while I was at a gig, then I would plug in the unit while I was playing. That hasn't happened yet. The few times I've had a power outage at a gig, the show got interrupted anyway. Any issues with my personal piece of the...Read More...

Hi Steves Off The Couch, Good thoughts - but No - that won't work because: The T1 Master Output is balanced (mono) The S1 Pro Aux input is unbalanced stereo No - that won't work because: The S1 Pro Line Out is balanced (mono) The S1 Aux input is unbalanced stereo You could rig up the connections with some adapters but you would lose the Balanced connections between the components and make the whole system more vulnerable to line noise. I don't recommend that. STRead More...

Good news everybody! There is a new firmware update that addresses this issue. Please see: Firmware 7.0.11 Edit: This changes the way an interruption to the AC power affects the S1 Pro. You will still have to cycle the power off/on with the power button to restore audio, but the firmware update reduces the likelihood that you will have to reset the S1 Pro to get it going again. Thanks, STRead More...

Hi Durnbock, Occasional flickers of red mean you're approaching clipping but that won't damage the S1 Pro systems. If everything sounds good, you probably don't need to change anything. STRead More...

White for me, great for wedding ceremony work!Read More...

Hi Beau Ryan, Welcome to the Bose Portable PA Community. Congratulations on getting your S1 Pro. Yes, the behaviour of Channel 3 volume control is different from Channels 1 and 2. On channel 3, the volume control is digital and the resolution of the control is not as high as the other channels so the transition from zero to Hello Sound is not as smooth. For pictures and more information please see: S1 Pro Channel 3 From your description, your system is working fine. I'm glad you joined us. STRead More...

Good advice Dave ,and of course a lot of these issues are subjective ,I may still try the 87A ..gear for music in the UK allow you to even try mics and send them back if not suitable ,but as you say if the 58A works no real need to fix it ..such a durable mic and as I said works well with the S1 PRORead More...

Hi Gene, Thanks for raising an excellent question. Bose doesn't state an expected battery life. There are too many factors that can affect the battery. Instead, it puts a two-year warranty on the S1 Pro, including the battery. I understand the temptation to have a battery on hand "just in case". Unless it's mission critical to run on the battery, and there's no AC power available (that's your back-up), I would wait until you notice an issue: like the battery doesn't last long enough for you...Read More...

Hi ccc Thankfully Bose gives a good jumping off place, then provides knobs that turn to allow us to fine tune "our" sound. O..Read More...

@Paul Rumbol I'm also curious to see what the trolley looks like!Read More...

Not a better, clearer dynamic mic for the Bose system than the Heil PR35. I've has Shure Sm58's wireless and wired but one of the best (SM58) is no match for the Heil. Slap a XVIVE bluetooth wireless system on it and Wa-la it is wireless and sounds great with my S1's with B2 woofers.Read More...

Thanks for the replies, and so quickly too !! i’ll follow your recommendations and report back taRead More...

That's pricey! I got the On-Stage Mini speaker stand for $25. Hahahaha. Max height it only 46" thought, and only collapses to 27".Read More...

Hi Troubador @ST Any update on when the coloured slip covers will be up for sale? There hasn't been a formal announcement yet. Stay tuned. I hope to have more information soon. When I do, I'll post about it here in the community. Thanks for asking. STRead More...

Hi Kevin, Up to 11 hours of play is dependent on Volume and to a lesser extent the tone controls Higher volume and turning up the tone controls draws more energy than lower settings. Program material Prerecorded music is usually compressed. This may draw more power than live music at the same perceived volume because live music has more dynamics (lower draw in quiet moments). We have an article that covers the other battery information here. S1 Pro System Battery STRead More...

Hi Kevin, Thanks for your question. We have an ongoing discussion about the S1 Pro battery draining when not in use Please follow the link above. You'll find the lastest information, and instructions on how to get notifications when there are updates Thanks, ST I have started a new discussion for your second question. Please see How long when using with backing tracks is the battery supposed to last Thanks, STRead More...

@ST - A few minutes ago (I hadn't seen your message above) I went digging into a box where I keep my cables. Lo and behold, I found a cable that I acquired eons ago - twin 1/4" TS to a stereo 1/8" jack. I think I got this to connect an electronic keyboard to something ... don't remember what. Anyway, this is a fairly heavy duty cable and 6' long ... perfect for the guitar. I plugged it into the S1 and it's perfect. It does exactly what I want. So here's the benefit to me: I like playing the...Read More...

The link below details connecting a Bose S1 Pro to a Behringer B1200d subwoofer. By using the high pass crossover on the sub you are limiting the low frequencies sent to the S1 Pro, that should help with clipping / overdriving you S1 Pro. The concepts outlined in the article should apply to most small subs. https://toonz.ca/bose/wiki/ind...B1200D_Pro_Subwoofer Lack of AC power... a small gas or propane inverter generator could provide you with the clean power needed to run your system. They...Read More...
