Bose Pro32 Review/Test With Sub1, Sub2 and S1Pro

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Sub1 really shocked me! For 95% of indoor use or small gigs it is all that most of us would ever need, but if you want to shake the walls and get that chest slam for Rap, Techno, or Electronic Music, the Sub2 is a huge step up. Of course for outside use, Sub1 can't compare to the Sub2. Sub1 bass is tight and musical, Sub2 at 37hZ is for bass heads or drummers like myself:)

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Sound quality suffered because I was sitting/recording behind the array, but at 100dB+ the low end was punching! Wish you were here.

[@lucian-leonardraiciof6500]

Hello, Can u tell me about the power source? Can u mention which model do you have? Thanks!

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

@@lucian-leonardraiciof6500 Expert Power 400. 444 watts, Pure Sine Wave , can also purchase a solar panel for it. Three AC inputs, many other companies only have one. Light weight 11lbs , built like a tank! Playing this system at high volume 100dB+ expect 2 hour run time, lower volumes = much longer run times.www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CYMCLDN/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_4?smid=ATW4RRWB3JMSM&psc=1

Am impressed it do 100db that not clipping/distortion?

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

@@MobilediscowirralCoUk Easy, 100dB zero distortion with incredible live sounding dynamics! Indoors I get 100dB with gain set at only 11:00, can't imagine turning it up to 3:00 :) The system is rated at 129dB max with Sub2. A single column w/Sub2 easily handles over 200 people in a wedding dance reception.

Hey Bill, love your content! Not sure if you are aware but you can physically turn the Bose logo on the sub1 and sub 2 clockwise or counter clockwise to face the direction the sub is facing (horizontal laying down or vertical). Not that it matters in the slightest, but it’s a cool little feature for the aesthetic of the sub to match the way the user has the sub placed :)

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Thanks I know. Turning the Logo actually gave a nice db boost! Bass response improved also:)

[@LuisJacob366]

Yeah. I was thinking on pro32 with sub1 because the weight

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Was shocked that the Expert Power External power station ran the Sub1 with the Sub2 handling a total of 1,960 watts!

[@djXCEmusic]

For how long can you run it for?

[@frankiesaysrelax9623]

Bill, can you be kind enough to tell me the model of ExpertPower source you are using for your portable p/a ring. It would be much appreciated. Thank you , Frank

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Expert Power 400 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CYMCLDN/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_10?smid=&psc=1 Looks like it is out of stock. For a little bit more money I would go with the Ecoflow Pro. 600 watts vs 400. Pure Sine Wave, longer run time. Has App control! The best feature it charges from 0-80% in one hour. In the long run will be worth the extra $$$. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08T1KY8SG/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_4?smid=AH59O987TZWZR&psc=1

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Forgot to mention, to purchase a second Submatch Cable costs $100. Make sure to figure that cost in for those who want to double up subwoofers for the Pro32 system. You have to admit the technology Bose has come up with is impressive and unique to only Bose. The fact that you can run the array that goes up to 128dB and up to two 1,000 watt Sub2s from one power source is wonderful!

[@DJJASProductions]

I wonder how two Sub 1s would compare to one Sub 2?

[@josealfredfernandes]

@@DJJASProductions I believe, it will be punchy. 2x Sub2 will be deep and low.

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

@@DJJASProductions Probably very close but still less than 1,000 watts and won't be able to go down to 37Hz. For people that can't handle the weight of the Sub2 that would be the next logical option to get similar performance.

Good Morning Sir is posible use bose s1 pro with sub 2?

Yes! One cable connection. Watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ3Hn3yQi5yboKM

[@PeterPham]

Was told by bose you can run the sub1 and sub2 together in cardioid mode. can you try that/ sub2 on the bottom, sub1 on the top

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Sorry, Sub1 is at another property. Should always use the same sub. Two Sub1s would be equal to one Sub2.

[@andrewgreen1169]

Hi , I've bought the bose l 32 pro I'm not sure which sub to go for, I am a vocalist guitarist I play with acoustic and vocals and also electric guitar and backing tracks, I like the portability of the sub 1 but I can't help thinking that for a given volume it will not be able to throw the bass as far as the sub 2 , some people on the web say the sub 1 bottoms out when you go above 12 o'clock.

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

If you can handle the weight and the extra $$$ Sub2 is the obvious choice. Two Sub1's=output of single Sub2. Sub2 will still go down lower to 37Hz, which I can hear the difference for kick drum. With a single Sub1 I did get it to bottom out, outside at a little over 100db. 12-1:00 is the sweet spot for integration with Pro32 with either sub.

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Well after one year from making this video we have a new King of Bluetooth dB! JBL PRX915 133dB $1,100. match it up with the Bose Sub2 and for $2,400 you will have the loudest Bluetooth speaker combination available.

[@MobilediscowirralCoUk]

Believe they have new subwoofers too with new drivers

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

@@MobilediscowirralCoUk Yes they do, but the PRX 915 top is 53 pounds by itself. What makes the Bose Pro32/Sub2 unique is the incredible light weight and 5 min set up/tear down time!

I was thinking get 1pc of l1 pro 32 Or 2pcs l1 pro 16 for my dj gig wahat do you think is worth it?

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Probably two Pro16s. Most DJs like the look of matching speakers on either side of their booth plus the advantage of running stereo. Other major reason for a pair is to have backup during a paying gig.

[@djveind9881]

This is very helpful I’m new on djing for events I’m trying to invest on line arrays system easy to bring anywhere I have jbl eon one mk2 that’s is good for build in battery but in the reception. I feel it’s not enough 2 of them. I think bose L1 is more louder and better investment. Your videos very helpful to make us having a decision what gear to buy. Thanks again my friend!

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

@@djveind9881 I agree two Mk2s are not enough for dance. Next step up: a pair of JBL PRX Ones, pair Bose Pro16's, EV50m's, RCF Evox J8's, or traditional 12" tops over 15-18" subs. Many ways to go! All great choices 150-175 people.

[@deehive]

hi, would you happen to know if sub1 has a low cut filter builtin?

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Not sure, good question for the Bose Facebook page.

[@kas14244]

How does this work? I own a BoseS1 Pro would love to add sub. Do you run cable from S1 out to sub in?

[@M_E_T_R_O__9]

Sadly it looks designed to do it the other way around, meaning you dont get bluetooth capability. only option to do what you want would be to use the Jack output on hte S1 Pro into the sub.... but not too sure how that would sound in terms of crossover of bass and so on.. probably not as good..

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Yes, one cable! Make sure to use TRS 1/4” or you will lose 6dB output from S1 Pro. I prefer 1/4” TRS to XLR male into the sub for the more secure connection. Either way.

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

I’ll take the slight loss in fidelity and headroom in order to keep Bluetooth capability.

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Do it! It transforms the S1 into a full range system.

[@llaugercastillo]

You are not using the best capability of it. Using a sub 1 and 2 is the best scenario. But you need to output the sub 2 to sub 1 using the HPF option because using just sub 2 its lows and highs but when you use a sub 1 with the high pass filter into it the sub 1 will take care of the mids that the sub 2 wont handle and then you will have the best richness system out of the l1 pro 32.
