This is a really great Battery Powered PA speaker that has a really cool feature of 2 different wireless (XLR or 1/4”) that can pair to the speaker itself. It’s cool, sounds great, and has many great features in it. Thanks to Sweetwater for sending over the speaker for review on the channel.

You have the best and most comprehensive overview of this speaker.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you!

[@pvsamorgan9803]

Best demonstration of the Bose S1 Pro+ on KZbin so far. Thanks a lot. 🙏🏼

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you!

[@markBAMBOO12]

Yeah

[@TiffanyChohfi]

Awesome!!!! Great info !!!! Thanks Scott!!!!!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks Tiffany!!🤘🤘

[@kevinadamson4601]

Not sure if you knew this, but you can spin that Bose logo different directions as you lay the speaker horizontally, etc.

[@DennyDiamond]

This is great Scott. (Great Scott!) I've been thinking about one of these but music stores aren't stocking them so you order blindly. Then if you don't want it there's the restocking fee so you've helped me quite a bit with this review. Thanks!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad to help! Especially since there was a Doc Brown reference in there :)

[@michaelarthur4764]

Good review!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks!

[@darrylday30]

I’ve got the S1 pro (not wireless). It sounds much better than my huge 300 watt yorkville keyboard amp. I can use it as a floor wedge but it really shines when mounted on a stand. Stage sound with my band is so much better. It also sounds great for small solo keyboard and vocals gigs. The new tone match and wireless are tempting but I’ll stick with what I’ve got for now.

[@artytoney2057]

And bose quality , very nice , with alot of great options every since I started using my yamaha THR 30 practice amp ive learned how awwsome battery power can be and handy , hope alls well Scott great product video

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And yeah I’m a big fan of what Bose does. I just played a fill in show with another band this weekend and they had these killer Bose speakers and subs. Sounded so good!

[@CrossoverClassic]

I connect just one of my S1 p+ into SUB1 from bose ! Set it in center of stage (for playing recorded music in venue) it rocks!!! Sounds great! 120 degree Dispersion! (Could be set up in stereo but mono sounds pretty damned good!) Venue is a bar around 70ftx50ft way more volume than necessary! Later, i do karaoke 🎤 with wireless mics . I haven't purchased the bose transmitters yet but will shortly. I'll update comment when I get them.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Nice! Yeah, Bose makes some great stuff!

[@rickranum1]

What they have not thought of from the first version onward is the need to mute the effects between songs for talking to the audience. To me its a must have. (I have the first version from Bose)

[@alanjohnson2853]

Great review! This kind of equipment has advanced so much in recent years, the designs are really well thought out, it's almost like they consulted working musicians ;-) and your reviews really help guys like me decide which new equipment to invest in.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks Alan! I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed the video 🤘🤘

[@MontyDeane]

Dude, your my new goto guy. You have all the same solutions I am looking for. I absolutely love this speaker/interface/monitor/live stream, device, and use it exclusively when playing out. I have 2 and I added a small subwoofer. The sub makes a great difference, but is electric. Great sound! Totally agree on the 2.4 freq. I think I saw a video once where you showed other wireless dongles and said to bring 2.4 and buy another freq. just in case you have conflicts. I do have conflicts occasionally, but stuck with 2.4 ob S1 for now maybe they will create an alternate freq. The app is quirky to me. It will disconnect, randomly. Im a sitting soloist, so I keep the main speaker close, incase I need to make adjustments. I know you are good at setting these things up. I am using a Tc Helicon Play Acoustic, wired. Works awesome and great acoustic tone with vocal harmonies. Problem is I cant even imagine how to use this through the effects loop of the S1 Pro+ or if it can even be done. Have you ever used one? Or heard of it?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And I haven’t used the fx loop actually so I’m not sure. I usually go just direct either as an extra speaker or just for acoustic guitar personally

[@windslipper]

Thanks, Scott

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks for watching 🤘

[@tinsweep]

Been using the Bose L1 Compact for many years, recently got an S1 Pro (and now an S1 Pro+). One thing I've always appreciated with their systems is how effortlessly fantastic they sound. Their line array gives such a consistent and wide sound, they've ruined other loudspeakers for me. With the S1 line, it's ridiculous what they can do with battery power!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yeah, really just listening to it, it's amazing how good it sounds just right off the bat! I love it!

[@borg386]

Same here! I just can't part with my compact and s1 pros. They just sound so damn good with live sound. I'm trying to get rid of my EV 30m. It doesn't even sound as good as the compact.

[@CIKAMINDSET]

Thank you so much for this video. Could you also connect shure beta 58A mic with the Bose S1 pro transmitters?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yup 👍 you can connect any dynamic mic to it

[@alwlferventdreams2651]

This is cool, I've been doing beach performances with a pair of JBL-PB-310, built in power means I can take more gigs more places. Camp grounds, beaches, parks, all without the need for a loud noisy generator. This looks like it would have been a nice way to go instead.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yeah, this one is perfect for portability for sure!

[@borg386]

I have 2 s1 pros,and they are absolutely perfect for live sound. But I'm itching for a pair of JBL partybox speakers. I did a reception with my Bose, and another guy brought a PB 310. After hearing "Push it" come out if that thing, I'm dying for this speaker for streaming music to add to my gigs.

[@gazncoll]

Hey Scott, kudos on a great channel! Really nice review .. Can you tell me if this unit works well for a solo musician with backing tracks? i.e. guitar, vocal and backing tracks? Thanks!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yes absolutely!

[@gillesLegein]

Great review. Question: can I use the XLR output from the PRO+ to go to a cable with an 3.5 mm input to go in my older S1 Pro? So that I have a speaker for both sides of the room. I hope that the app can connect both so that it works wireless

[@ScottUhlMusic]

If you wanted to connect two speakers I would use the xlr out to xlr

[@renebanagudos5533]

Amazing! If only i can afford it lol. Looks expensive.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

It’s definitely worth the money!

[@scottbecker3485]

Interested in this, too, though I might instead go for the new Kombo Audio wireless speaker.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I haven’t seen that one. But I do really love this Bose system

[@scottbecker3485]

@@ScottUhlMusic The Bose is indeed brilliant - and I say that as a still-owner of the original model (sans wireless). If you‘re into wireless, though (and of course I know from your channel how invested you are in wireless), you might really want to check out the novel approach taken by Kombo Audio out of Denmark. The speaker costs a bit more, but has many more features…and especially a modular approach to inputting whatever kind of channel you want, complete with well-curated effects (e.g. for electric guitar, vocals, base). It‘s something the industry has never seen before, and it looks very promising. But please feel free to delete my remarks if you want to keep the comment section devoted only to the Bose actually featured. I‘m still on the fence about which wireless speaker to get, and that will probably hinge on a sound check with the Kombo Audio, who offer free returns (even to Denmark).

[@MontyDeane]

I wish the app would allow you to turn on/off the S1Pro+

[@borg386]

Awesome review! My issue is that one of my speakers always sounds a little louder than the other one when i connect directly with a cable. I have to turn ones volume way down compared to the other just to equalize the sound. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks for any answers!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! Are you talking about the wireless vs the cable? That could have some gain changes that happen, so you’ll just have to set the gain properly depending on which input you use 🤘

[@drlmusic]

I just saw that! Awesome!! Would it work with a bass guitar?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I think it would. Obviously you don’t get that super low sub frequencies without a subwoofer, but I like the sound of the low end on this speaker 👍

[@sevalmi8681]

very interesting to see if maybe you have capability of comparing Bose/EV8 to Yamaha Stagepass 200 which is really beast at 125db spl

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I honestly don’t compare very often in regards to sound, but more specs. Bose, EV, and Yamaha make great stuff. EV has always been one of my favorite speaker companies so I’m a bit biased

[@thecorz72]

Pretty good just wish it had another channel

[@ScottUhlMusic]

3 is pretty standard with almost all speakers that I’ve seen 👍

[@MichiMallu]

Comes anywhere near EV Everse 8? Only plus may be the built in wireless transmitter/ receiver though, but ticketed $300 more!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I recommend watching both videos and see what connects more with you. Both are fantastic devices

[@BuskYou]

How is the low end on this? I am creating a live looping show and want to make sure the bass resonance on this is good.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Low end sounds great, but if you want like subwoofer level low end, you have to get a sub. This is a 8” speaker… the bass is great for the size of speaker, just know what sound you want and buy accordingly

[@reganjo1955]

So you did a real view on the Eavers battery operated PA. At this point would you consider switching to Bose or do you see some advantages with the universe?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Whenever someone asks me "is this better than ____" I always just suggest to watch both videos and see which one has features that makes you go "oh I want that!" over the other one. That's the best way to do it. Both are really great systems, and both have slightly different features.

[@reganjo1955]

Yeah - my question was a Time Machine type question. If you could go back in time would you pick the Bose knowing what you know now… Another question - if you were using a looper like the Boss RC 600 would you take the outputs from the looper into either or both of the combo-jacks or into the aux with a reverse Y cable? Thanks.

[@dragonstone6594]

What's the rountrip latency and does it have ASIO drivers for Windows?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I’m not sure what “round trip” you are talking about since the wireless goes directly into the speaker. But the latency is not noticeable at all. And I don’t use windows so that I don’t know.

[@dragonstone6594]

@@ScottUhlMusic I mean if you plug in the guitar into the speaker wirelessly or not use the speaker as a soundcard via USB, and open a DAW, throw in an AMP sim can you play the guitar through the DAW without noticing any delay?

[@user-xj5dj5lp3y]

Where the vocals reverb test

[@frankking781]

So?, you have to buy the two wireless units separately?.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

You can buy it without, or with 1 or both… it’s up to you. If you don’t need them, you can save money 👍

[@dconan9842]

You can rotate the Bose logo.

[@maggie19ful]

does it come with a microphone

[@ScottUhlMusic]

No, just the adapter

[@phoenixbenjamin]

Does it have tone match?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

It has the presets for different tones like I mention in this video. If that’s what you mean

[@phoenixbenjamin]

Right on brother I asked the question before you mentioned it in the video. I already have 2 Bose L1 model 2 systems with two Bose tone match mixers.

[@user-xj5dj5lp3y]

No mid or delay

[@ScottUhlMusic]

No, it can’t have everything. I do wish it had mid control though

[@honzakalnik]

Since these two cost similar money would you choose this or Everse 8? 🙂

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Honestly, I would look at both of them and see which one works best for your setup. I'm going to use the Everse for ceremonies, no question, but this one is really nice with that built in wireless! They have two different features, and both are valuable.

[@Robe_Hernandez]

I was about to buy the everse 8..... But the wireless built in???? Dangggg

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Both are really cool systems!

[@sagdey56]

​@@markBAMBOO12you would think they would have an update at some point. After all, that's what the port in the back is for. I've had mine for many years,and never had any updates.

[@georgchekinoff239]

Hi! And how will the Bose S1 Pro Plus be able to voice this city square? kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6Dck5eqfNeFo5Y Will it be heard as well as Everse 8? Is he suitable for such performances? The other speaker in the same place is heard worse kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH-8d6Wbd654n9k . Will the sound volume in the Bose S1 Pro Plus be closer to the first option or to the second? Thanks!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

These are smaller speakers, so it really just depends how many people will be there and the area you want to cover

[@CesarEspinoza]

Bose or Ev..??

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Both are great. I suggest watching both of my videos and deciding which one you like better for features

[@CesarEspinoza]

@@ScottUhlMusic I saw your other video. I think gonna go for the EV cause has that phantom power I need for my mic. Thank you

[@jefferywhidby2407]

I am a full time acoustic soloist. Almost all of the "tone match" settings are absolute garbage. Garbage. At home, I found the "Taylor Grand Auditorium Strum" to be useful, at long as I wasn't going into my QSC 10.2 Mains. Bose is, and always has been, garbage. I still DO use the S1Pro Plus but I have to ignore most of the features and do the EQ myself. Bose, as always, has been a trick of the light, and not a true powerhouse in the realm of sound. this company uses reflectivity and room dynamics historically, which do not apply to these performance oriented systems. They SUCK at that.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Not all presets will work with every setup. But some of them can get you to a good starting point. I love this Bose system! Highly recommend this system 🤘

[@jefferywhidby2407]

@@ScottUhlMusic yeah, I was pissed at this thing when I wrote that. I've managed to get things dialed in since.

[@joesteel3459]

I love the tone match. I use it with a tc helicon play acoustic looper/vocal effects pedal and actually prefer the reverb and tone I get directly from the Bose. It’s simple and gets the job done for me. Different strokes I guess.

BRo why are all you B ROLLS agressive or violent; just why....... you people just dont seem to get it; do you; cut the the b roll or start putting stuff that are pleasant. stop all these weird cringey destructive or bad b roll. people just like to advertise evil like the mainstream news and think is good for attention. Your videos are already excellent and we just watch to the end, its hard to even skip parts, please stop these annoying b rolls unless pictures of things related, its your chanel and you are free to show what you feel, but its a community, the mement one think its mine and I do what I like even if they dont like. failure is the destination of such one. Thanks. I need a wireless system I think I found a while back in this chanel hence I looking at a few of your videos, and the style is so annoying with these strange evil b rolls, But anyways IS THERE ANY WIRELESS SYSTEM YOU CAN ALSO USE TO MAKE HEADPHONES WIRELESS TOO. I saw that somewhere hence am searching again. or make videos about such things. Thanks

[@chartranddave]

@@ScottUhlMusicHope it's ok for one more question...I know you're busy.. How would you hook up 2 of these as a PA for a 2 guitar/2 muc setup? Line out from one S1 to the other? Could you use all 4 wireless transmitters at the same time?
