S1 Pro System

I'd like to play with you guys! :-) When I was playing bass in Joe Louis Walker's band, two things really stand out. Right from the beginning he said, "If you can't play soft, you can't play." so our practices and performances were always about the music and dynamics and NOT the sound pressure level. At the end of 2 or 3 hours of practice our ears were NOT ringing! He was also a stickler for dynamics. We had 3 lead instrumentalists: guitar, sax and trumpet. Joe stressed the concept of...Read More...

I'd use 2 xlr to xlr cables from mixer to two S1s.Read More...

Hi Dance Host, The S1 Pro System channel 3 volume control behaves differently than the volume controls on channels 1 and 2. Slow to Respond If you find the volume control seems slow to respond (especially between 7-11 o'clock) please turn up the volume at the source (Bluetooth or physical connection). For Bluetooth connections, if you set the volume on the source device to maximum, this will give you the greatest usable range on the S1 Pro Aux Channel volume control. Steps in Volume The S1...Read More...

Granted, we can hear from the side or behind. What I'm saying is if you get in front of the S1, with its small array, you can really get intimate and totally monitor your vocal output. With this unit, being to the side or being back, doesn't compare with it being behind you.Read More...

Hi Bruno, Thank you for coming back to tell us you're okay. Enjoy your S1 Pro. STRead More...

The DJ app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store for Android devices. However, I think that the DJ app only supports streaming via Spotify. If you download a music file to your Android device, the DJ app would play it. (...btw, I would give up cable tv before I would give up my Spotify subscription. : ) https://www.algoriddim.com/djay-androidRead More...

Hi Mike, Welcome to the Bose Portable PA Community. You can connect two Bose S1 Pro systems to a device running iOS or Android using the Bose Connect App . ⇐ please follow the link for more details. Does that answer your question? STRead More...

Yes I'm sure that one would get better projection with stand use, it's just that I haven't personally used it where I needed the extra projection. Well, there was one gathering where it was used for announcements and we set it on a shelf to get it up higher. I have plans for it to be used in a similar manner in a couple of months and will hang it from the rafters of a picnic shelter and use a wireless mic so there is nothing to trip, or knock, over. O..Read More...

Hi Dan, Mounting options. About the same. Bose went in a different (and more secure) direction on this. Please see T4S & T8S Mixers - 1/4 inch (6mm) Mounting Screw (Mounting Options) You can still attach the T4S to the microphone stand but Bose doesn't supply the bracket. Check out the link above.

@AlzHammers @ST is da man for all things Bose ... he's very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I didn't know that about the XLRs on the S1 even though I kinda figured that your cable had something to do with the problem. I use a TRS cable from my T1 to the S1 so have never experienced the problem that you had. Glad it was all sorted out! Cheers,Read More...

My response is if it ain't broke why fix it. You say it sounds good coming though the Bluetooth. I say continue to use the Bluetooth connection. KooRead More...

Hi last responder, Thank you for joining the Bose Portable PA Community. Welcome. I'm sorry your S1 Pro is draining to red overnight. This unit is not working correctly. If you purchased it recently, please return it to the retailer in exchange for a new unit. If you are outside the return period, please call Bose Support in Australia . Please tell us what you decide to do and how that works out for you. Thank you, STRead More...

I simply need a 15v power supply for the radio control unit. I know that the battery is not compatible, but I have a friend who works in the electronics field that maybe can help me to recover the current from the box ... Maybe you think it's stupid to do this job with a new ampli, but I work in the street (I am a juggler) and I often can not recharge anything for several days. So I can not afford to handle extra batteries for the wireless microphone ... But if you have any advice, tell me! ...Read More...

Will do STRead More...

Hi Simon Patrick, Thanks for listening. It was on the floor in the tilt-back position. STRead More...

Hi sailedaway, I've done some more testing here and we've talked about it at this end. Please try this. On the first S1 Pro turn off the volumes of all channels Run the LINE OUT to the second S1 Pro system. On the second S1 Pro, set the volume to 10:00 o'clock . This will give you the same volume on the second unit as the first On the first S1 Pro bring up the volume to the appropriate level on the channels you are using I tested this setup here. The volume and noise level of both systems is...Read More...

Here's, my was my solution. The KM26750 seems to be the perfect mate to the S1 Pro. They are very stable together and there is basically no way to trip on them! Here are the tech specs on the stand. K&M 26750 Speaker Stand Features at a Glance: Adjusts from 37.4" to 56.29" 77-pound load capacity Cast-iron round base saves space while maintaining stability Locking screw for additional security, function, and ease of use Made from durable aluminum Glad your S1 Pro is still working good,...Read More...

Hi Jen B, Thanks for the information and link. I couldn't find any details about the microphone in the manual. Let's assume it is omni-directional (picks up sound from all directions). That means you'll need to be careful to avoid letting the microphone see the S1 Pro. If there's line-of-sight between the microphone and the loudspeaker, there's a chance of feedback. There's no harm in doing this although it may not make much difference. Yes, do both and this should allow you to turn down the...Read More...

Hi Oldghm, You are describing what I heard when I did the first set of recordings - with the microphones at five-six feet from the loudspeakers. It wasn't until I had things cranked up that I was aware I was compensating for the amplified sound. Yes, I can reach this blissful state of balance. But it's never like that in the places I play. I rehearse at stage volume (sound system is louder than I am) because that's what I hear on the stage. I rehearse my stage sound and everything I do to...Read More...

Hi, I have an ipad pro, and experience the same problem, Franc C is right it has to do with comparability issues with the karaoke app your using. I use Karaoke Anywhere HD app to play my CDG karaoke files and unfortunately this app is not Bluetooth compliant, and using a 1/8'' cable causes static and hum noise because it activates the built in mic! Although I use Sweet Midi player and Grinta pro 9 to play midi karaoke files Bluetooth with no problems! Using the Sound Canvas app core midi...Read More...

Hello Sailedaway, Your post - related to daisy chaining two S1 Pro systems is now in your original discussion. Cannot daisy chain effectively. Please follow the link to your post. Thank you, Bose Pro Community AdminRead More...

I see a TRS to XLR (male) 25' long cable on Amazon for about $15. That's the kind of thing that I use when interconnecting my 2 Bose S1s directly. Maybe something like that is available where you live.Read More...
