Battery Powered Subwoofer Solution-Pairing Bose S1Pro with JBL Partybox 110 All Battery Powered PA

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Viewer comment: In response to some folks posting that the Bose S1 Pro wasn't loud enough, especially in the vocals department. Since loud and soft are relative terms I decided to measure actual decibel levels. The app I used is called Decibel X. It's a must app for all musicians. In this video, my vocal (Shure SM 58) volume is set at 3/4 with 1/4 reverb, which I changed to 1/2 after viewing this video and my instrument volume is at 1/2. What I discovered was this battery operated, 15 lb. speaker is not as loud as my my 39 lb. JBL EON615 which puts out 127 db max. SPL or my 41 lb. JBL EON One line array which puts out 118 db max. SPL. NO, this unit puts out only 103 db peak (did I mention it only weighs 15 lbs.) What does it all mean you ask? SPL stands for Sound Pressure Level and it's the primary objective unit of measure for output (NOT Watts). Continued exposure to SPL above 90 dB can cause permanent hearing damage. Remember that dB levels drop the further away from the source... the goal is to have a level of 85 dB max where the listener is, thus the reason these units have a rating of over that, which gives you some head room. I also discovered that this unit is ideal for small rooms with 40-50 people or busking. It's size and weight make this unit very, very convenient especially for solo or duo musicians/singers.

JBL recently added a three band EQ through a firmware update. It makes a great difference! Amazed this speaker is still $400 after all other speakers have jumped in price.

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

FYI : PB110 gets louder if plugged into AC. Also, since port is on the back, you can boost the bass by putting it up against a wall.

Great review and pairing of two super speakers!! Much appreciated! Sound was good so no worries!

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Thanks for your feedback:)

Hi Bill. Thank you very much for this video! I have the Bose S1 Pro and was considering selling it for a replacement speaker with more bass. Once I saw this video, I picked up the Partybox 310, and I’ve been in love with the combo ever since. The only difference is I have the S1 Pro on the floor angled up and the 310 on a stand to reduce the bass. I’ll likely get a stand for the S1 Pro also, but I would like to have them one on top of the other.

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Its a great combination. PB is like a battery powered sub! I would definitely get the S1 off the ground. Happy I helped you make the right buying decision.

[@AlWebster]

I had the same idea but I purchased the JBL Partybox 310 to add some lower end to my S1 Pro for battery operated sound reinforcement. I just ordered a Harbinger Subwoofer on sale at Guitar Center for $100 off. Obviously it is not going to work without AC power unless I utilize one of these solutions you outlined in one of your other videos. So I am looking into inverters and such just to run the sub.

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Partybox 310 must add some great bass to the S1 Pro! This what I use to run my sub on external power, Ecoflow Pro. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08T1KY8SG/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_7?smid=AH59O987TZWZR&psc=1

Shout Out to DJ Shane! I purchased the PB110 about a year ago after watching some of his videos on the PartyBox series. I had never even heard of it before. He has quite a collection of PA speakers from small to High School Dance speakers! Check out his videos: www.youtube.com/@shaneberckman/videos

Have u tried to pair edifier t5 with a partybox. I was planning to buy edifier t5 for my partybox 320

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

That 8" 70 watt sub might make little to no difference with the PB320. I would save up for a subwoofer with more performance!

[@kingsleyosagiobare2431]

Hi bill , thanks 🙏🏿, please which cable can I buy for the connection together

I dedicate this video to you! You are the one who turned me on to the Partybox line.

@@WWeiss-nv5vz I was going from the Bose S1pro to the partybox and I should have done it the other way around. LOL 😆 I appreciate you and that's why I love our community.

Hey I got two 110 but I need to use them at 40 feet of distance in between them for a dance class. How can I connect them if the tws connection fails

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

From first 110 1/8" out to second 110 1/8" in. Might have to get that 40' cable custom made?

[@kianknip7492]

Is there a way that you can get stereo sound with those / speakers because i have the same speakers but i just cant get stereo

[@rajeevr474]

Hello sir i have one doubt. Currently iam using PB 110, that i connected to my tv through Bluetooth. But i have one sony dvd home theater with no use. So my question is can i connect witb jbl PB to sony as like you did. Is that possible to get same out put from tv

[@mom2my3sons]

Do you have a suggestion for a carrying case to use with the Bose Sub 1? I know Bose makes a roller bag for it but I was hoping to find one less pricey. Your videos are great, I have really learned a lot!

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Glad you are liking the videos! For my use I just use the thin slip cover Bose provided. Custom covers very popular - Tuki Covers www.tukicovers.com/shop-all/bose/bose-sub1-powered-bass-module-padded-cover/

[@mom2my3sons]

Thanks - I will check it out!

[@tavocisneros8925]

Con un crossover se puede usar la jbl como subwoofer para frecuencias bajas? O solo sirve para medios bajos?

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Thank you!

[@charlieflores8612]

Great option!! do you think this pairing (S1-Partybox) may sound almost like 01 Bose L1 Pro8, or L1 is a lot better sound and louder?? I have a Partybox 200 and trying to decide if just buying a S1 Pro to use them together (as your video) or sell the Partybox to buy instead an L1 Pro8.

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

You are talking about a totally different league/application. This pairing is only good up to the S1Pro max volume which is 100dB. Pro8 max volume is 118dB. Anything over 10dB difference is twice the volume. Pro8 will also throw much further and has the L1 series 180 degree room filling dispersion. This leads to much less stage volume. With the Pro8 you don't need a speaker stand and the App is also useful. The 8 drivers should also sound cleaner, but not sure never A/B ed them. If you can afford the extra $$$ run don't walk and get the Pro8!

[@charlieflores8612]

@@WWeiss-nv5vz Thanks bro... since I found a special price I bought a S1Pro yesterday and today I paired it with Partybox 200 as you showed in your video and sound is amazing getting afford lows and mids from S1Pro and bass from Partybox, I think it is enough for me considering a party in a small ambient with 30 people. My only concern is that I get a little interference when I connect my electric guitar to S1Pro

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

@@charlieflores8612 Glad to hear it worked out. Anytime you add a second speaker of decent quality, it adds that room filling illusion of stereo. The fact that the JBL adds low bass is a bonus.

[@RickStephenson-HisSinatra]

Great video Bill ! I need a little help. I have a pair of S1 Pros, i bluetooth stereo and use one microphone input. I really would like a small sub to fill out the lower end. I need to remain completely off-grid. How could i wire a Yorkville Mobile sub to this paired stereo system? Could i split the 1/4 TRS from output Pro (main) into both the second Pro and a sub? I would appreciate some guidance. Thanks Rick

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Glad you liked the video. I just line out to the sub from one of the S1Pros. 2nd speaker is wireless using the Connect App. Curious, have you heard the Yorkville Sub? At that price it seems running a better sub on an external power source would perform better. Check out the Fishman sub, only $400. 300 watts vs 100 watts of Yorkville, same 30lbs weight. Runs easily off a $180 power supply. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aISVaq2siMuBj5Y

[@RickStephenson-HisSinatra]

I am using one input for my microphone. Which means I am using the output TRS Jack to input of second S1pro and Bluetooth the music through the Bose app In this configuration, can I line out of the second s1pro to a sub? Thanks Rick

[@victorastovilca9087]

Excuse what type of cable do You use?

From the JBL output 1/8" cable to 1/8" into Aux input Bose S1Pro.

You can't, it was just a test. Using the mixer gave zero or very little gain improvement before limiting.

Yea there’s only two portable subs out there in market. Diamondboxxx sub and the Yorkville portable subs

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Diamondbox way too expensive and Yorkville underpowered. Until the technology gets there I take a Bose Sub1or EV ELX200-12 with an external power source. They are REAL subwoofers!

[@bboymac84]

@@WWeiss-nv5vz it’s actually cheaper

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

There is another battery operated subwoofer I forgot to mention . The Diamondboxx Sub8.2 at $1,000! At that price I would definitely get a Bose Sub1 and run it on external battery power. diamondboxx.com/products/sub8-2

Try the 110 connecting with a subwoofer

[@japhdanaoofficial2205]

This is what I’ve been looking for. I currently have the JBL PB 110 and paired with Edifier t5 subwoofer. The problem is, JBL pb 110 lacks clarity in terms of the mids and highs especially when watching movies and doing karaoke. I was planning to add the Bose s1 pro to my set up. Glad i found this video. Question though, do you think when the mic is plugged in to the s1 pro, does it feed through to the jbl pb 110 when they’re both connected?

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Not sure my only mic is loaned out to a friend, Never tried it. If the S1 Pro is the sending speaker, everything from the Aux out should play on the line in PB110.
