S1 Pro System

Hi cc407, That's a great question. Thanks for asking. The image is an artist's rendering to give people an idea of what's inside the S1 Pro system. The grille is not replaceable in the sense that you can remove it and put it back on. The act of removing it will break the tabs. You have to replace the grill with a new one. Bose doesn't sell the grille or Bose logo separately. If you need a new grille or logo, please contact Bose Support to find out about service options. Thanks, ST Bose®...Read More...

@Dwellernearthefield , that holds true for power consumption. With Digital switching power supplies large capacity capacitors, power out put program and peak are substantially higher than power input.Read More...

Just ran across this on another Bose thread, this is similar to what I mentioned the guy at my cousin's wedding was using: https://www.altoproaudio.com/p...cts/stealth-wireless Same price as the Galaxy, but this has two receivers vice one and you can set them to left and right, or set the transmitter to mono so each gets the full mix. Unfortunately (fortunately?) only AC power on the receivers, but you'd need power for the S1 anyway. Alto's pretty popular in the educational and corporate...Read More...

My favourite genre to perform is country and I use a Shure Beta 87A with two L1 systems. Have both the radio and cable version of the same mic - vocal clarity is supreme and the polar pattern of the "A" version keeps me very nicely protected from feedback.Read More...

Moshik, we talking about the same issue. The problem is in the low frequencies. I just wouldn't get so far that the S1 isn't able to be a full range speaker within reasonable limits. You can get quite loud with canned music (including kickdrums and bass). That kind of music is highly compressed/limited. A drum computer ofen not so. Also I'd say that you can set your lowcut to 60-70Hz instead of 100Hz and still get rid of a big load while it can sound ok for busking. And if your drumcomputers...Read More...

I think the B2 would be great, I used to have one. Please try it and let us know! Best wishes-Read More...

Thanks again ST. That should really be clarified in the wiki. The way it's written I couldn't tell that xlr in is mic and trs in is line level. It says the XLR is for mic or line level. "Combo Inputs S1 Pro Channels 1 and 2 have combo inputs that accept XLR (balanced mono) Microphone or Line-Level inputs 1/4 inch (6 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve connection (balanced mono) Line-Level inputs 1/4 inch (6 mm) Tip-Sleeve connection (unbalanced mono) Line-Level inputs and instruments (e.g. guitars,...Read More...

Hi again ST. Good news - all fixed. I had another try using Internet Explorer - the upgrade to Ver 7.0 proceeded to completion, Bose Connect now operational. A suggestion for clarification re the link mentioned above: S1 Pro Amber Light on Channel 1 My initial expectation was that after Step 7 the unit would reset to its status before the upgrade attempt and would be operational with blue lights. That wasn't the case - no blue, and the amber light was still on Ch1, but the firmware upgrade...Read More...

I just found that Sennheiser has the battery system with a handheld mic: https://www.sweetwater.com/sto...ophone-system-a-bandRead More...

I’ve done a beach party and 2 pool parties, both had no power available so battery was a must. 2 in Stereo is WAY better than 1 (or even 2 in dual mono), but does force you to use Bluetooth to do it. Which can get glitchy, since it’s Bluetoth... but these speakers have a very robust connection wirelessly, just don’t forget and walk off with your iPad to talk!Read More...

Well, I see I can get an insert, to adapt to smaller diameter poles, this might do the trick!Read More...

On another note, I've never attempted to use this inverter to charge my Carvin StageMate S400D, a workhorse for over 15 years. With the second lead acid battery and matching 810 extension cabinet (the unit was 60 watts RMS 8 ohms and 100 watts RMS with the 8 ohms extension cabinet in parallel which doubled the current draw at 4 ohms), it would gets 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours on a full charge and take a full day plugged in to fully recharge. Multiple deep discharges of these batteries render them...Read More...

Running TRS from the aux out from the second T1 to the input channel on the S1. Taylor guitar going into the T1 through a DI. No time to troubleshoot at the gig.Read More...

Hmmm... thanks, all. I didn't see any mention at all of that switch in my user manual but I do know it's there! Can't imagine how something might damage it, since it's just a little lever switch that gets depressed when the pole is inserted -- but don't really want to chance it either. Just can't believe there's not some adapter out there that's no as complicated as the Hercules item. Just might fabricate something myself. But I'll keep looking. Thanks again for all the input here.Read More...

Got it -- six hours, via trickle charge mode, and 2.5 hours for fast-charge mode. Excellent -- thank you!Read More...

From Wikipedia : The Roland RD-800 has 88 keys. This doesn't mean the S1 Pro isn't a good choice for your friend's daughter. It depends on how she uses the RD-800 and how much volume she needs. I'm looking to hearing how she feels about the S1 Pro system. STRead More...

I find this disappointing sound surprising given the various experiences expressed on this forum along with my own experience with the S1. Something is going on here with this unit and would recommend trying another. Of course, a “good” sound is by nature very subjective. We’ve found the S1 sounds quite nice and to be a good alternative to our larger L1M2 system for smaller venues or outdoors where there’s no power available or the power is risky due to questionable power generators.Read More...

Excellent! Thank you ST for your prompt response.Read More...

I want to add my post here in the hope there are little chances that Bose will rethink the idea of the Auto EQ and find a software solution to help with out. While the S1 is a nice product the Auto EQ drives me crazy. Of course I'm in the mid of my 50ies and it's hard to get used to EQ my speakers by turning them around. :-) But i have the hunch that Bose didn't think through the whole matter and wantet to bring out somehing new just for marketing reasons. As Eddy mentioned, the necessity to...Read More...
