Pete CAN sing! I'd love to hear more stuff with Pete singing!!!

Sounded like a nice mix of John Lennon and John Denver

[@RokinLee]

Awesome and totally unexpectedly. Such a great singing voice! Man of many hidden talents 🎉

Yes, you have a real pleasing voice! I wanna hear more Pete...🤩

[@teaserrocks1768]

Wow! One of the best “fool on the stool” player/singers I’ve ever heard! Very good, Pete!

[@Singyourstyle]

I got this 5 days ago... Im loving it! So simple, clutter-free from cords.

[@TheFeelButton]

Been using the S1 Pro for years and love it. What great upgrades Bose put in this time! Great demo Pete!!

[@isaacdust]

Been playing around with this unit since yesterday. Loving it. And, most importantly, ... Pete can sing!!!

[@joeyclamz2408]

I run two S1 Pros in a stereo rig for ambient acoustic guitar and they sound amazing. In a small venue the sound just spreads and it doesn't matter where the audience is, they get the full stereo effect. Can't wait to get my hands on these!

[@arcadiohernandez4906]

I'm amazed at the sounds coming out of the speaker! It certainly will give you a great deal of flexibility. Nice voice!

[@enzoincredibile6661]

Thanks ! All my possible questions answered and with proof . So thanks a lot and Greetz from Austria! 😊

[@martinaddison4880]

There is a great shootout between the S1Pro and a Mackie SR350. The Bose holds it own and the shootout was outdoors. It is legit. Same core speaker/amp components as S1Pro+. I have used mine live since they came out and it holds in real-world use.

[@jcwear89]

That was an excellent demo! Covered all the things we'd be interested in. Also nice to see you sing 😊

[@patricklundquist9869]

I got the Bose S1 Pro+ and am impressed as far as it goes. I'm running an acoustic through it and found overwhelming bass with resulting feedback forced me to cut volume. With bass dialed down, mids were lost because the Bose S1 Pro+ has no mid control. As a result, I am now running through Fishman AFX EQ so I can cut bass without losing mids. Additionally, I have a TC Electronic Body Rez, and a TC Electronic Flashback in the chain. Pedals are powered by a Volto Power supply which combine to make the S1 Pro+ sound fantastic. Bose, if you are reading this, please include mid-range EQ, echo and chorus in the new 2024 version.

[@BillyBlaze7]

I played many hundreds of gigs on the Bose L1 M2 with both B1 and B2 subs, I continuously got compliments from fellow artists on how great my sound was. Its the absolute best sounding pa for the gigging musician. I used the T1 tonematch mixer with mine and had it set up and saved in the mixer so sound checks were so easy and the setting up of the pa was so simple. I really miss letting mine go when I retired from live shows, that was me saying to the world I was done with live gigs. But I wish I had kept it to jam at my home....now I am a sad musician because without gigging I cant afford to replace it.

[@IAmKAZMO]

Wow, get your shit back, dude! I got a Best Buy card to afford mine. Buy an Open Box in Excellent to Good Condition, for Less. 35 to 40 dollars per month.

[@BillyBlaze7]

@@IAmKAZMO I thought about contacting Bose and seeing if I can buy one of the last gen L1M2's thats refurbished. Once I blew my whole system up and they replaced it for $300. even though I was at least 5 years out of warranty, its hard to beat their customer service. I just bought a Yamaha Stagepas 200 BTR, its pretty nice, just to get me by til I can stroke another L1M2

[@douglasyoung71578]

That track of yours has got that "Hot for teacher" vibe goin' on! Awesome!

[@BirdYoumans]

OMG! I remember - OK here it comes, Bird's about to tell another one of his recollections so if you get bored easily, you can skip this - I was in a regional band named Kudzu in the 70's and we had a PA with 8 1208 voice of the theater cabinets that were huge, a 600 watt McIntosh amp for the bass speakers, a crossover feeding the horns from a 200 watt McIntosh. Unbelievable PA. Literally thousands of feet of wire to hook it up and took two roadies a half a day to get it ready for that night. Fast forward to today where the one man/woman band is more likely what you'll see. I wound up years later (90's) doing a single act using backing tracks as the "Karaoke" thing was about to come in but the difference was it was my music using my tracks. My set up was much simpler than the Kudzu PA was, but still involved two speakers and having to be wired up with a small mixer and mike and mini disc for the music. I could set that one up in less than an hour, more like 30 minutes. Now with this, you could be up and playing music in 10 minutes, no wires. This is absurd lol! It's amazing (yes, I was a teenager in the 50's) what has happened to music tech in the last 20 years or so. Those Mc amps were the best you could buy back then, and powerhouses for the time. One weighed 130 pounds and the other almost 100 pounds. Now they have amps in the 1000's of watts weighing almost nothing lol, but I'm betting they don't have the sound the Mac's had. These almost make me want to go back on the road again lol! But oh my, those were some fun days! More than 50 years worth. I'm retired to my Mt. Cabin in NC now at 78 where I make my youtube vids, and I'm enjoying this part of my life as well. Nice video my friend!

I have the BOSE S1 PRO and it does sound great. I'm just in the process of making it 'wireless' by using my Line 6 G10 Remote and some Sennheiser wireless mics and receivers, but BOSE have just done all the work and produced this unit. DAMN! Great review.

[@Rouwiinator]

I was wondering if I could hook my laptop up to a audio interface and then use the bose wireless to have a cable free connection from Interface to speaker. It should work in theory right?

[@fredflintstone1428]

@@Rouwiinator If you're talking about the new S1 Pro+ with the wireless transmitters, I think the transmitters will be matched for guitar and mic impedance rather than the line level output of an audio interface. What would work are the Sennheiser G1 transmitters and K1 receivers I'm using as they are marked 'mic / line' on the input. The only way to find out whether the Bose transmitters would work ok would be to try them.

[@Rouwiinator]

@@fredflintstone1428 thanks for the quick response. I just found a video by Bose confirming that with the XLR wireless you can change between mic and line level.

[@steverolfeca]

I’m curious to get your take on the S1P+. I have the original S1P, and with only 60 watts and a lightweight woofer, it doesn’t have a lot of headroom. Still, the dispersion is good, it sounds great, EQ is useful, and it gives my acoustic guitars and basses a nice lift in casual, unplugged situations.

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

New one, exact same sound, same amp/speakers

[@davepalmer6770]

You have a cool voice Pete! Your vocal tone reminds me Paul Gilbert’s in a way. I always thought his voice fit his songwriting style really well. I could see you doing a similar Beatlesque type of record👍Hey man. How can I buy physical CD’s of your two records?

[@eddiejones1978]

Monitor for a modeller: How would you compare the S1 Pro to Headrush FRFR108s? Battery and wireless are not necessary but like the 3/4 inputs and bluetooth.

[@slouisd]

Definitely thinking about getting one can it keep up with a small band including drums?

[@jimmy5634]

It seems pretty cool, but as with the S1 which I own, acoustic gigging applications are going to be limited to room size.

[@eanroad]

Howdy Pete, would you happen to know if you can buy two of these to use wirelessly (using two instrument transmitters for their respective speakers) with your modeler (in my case an FM9) in stereo? Cheers!

[@sandystorey8781]

What would be a good cordless microphone to use for singing? Thank you

[@zingbopdelux]

Oh yes Pete, BTW … you need to mention that incredibly clever feature, which every OCD musician will appreciate … when you lay the S1 down on it’s side, you can “swing” the BOSE badge in a rotation to orientate it for proper viewing, like how it displayed in the vertical position … BOSE, they think of everything! 😂 … god is in the details …

[@anthonymlg6083]

[@johnpower2018]

I am using a DPA 4099 condenser mike connected to a Bose T4S then connected to channel 3 on the S1 Pro + with a TRS cable. My question relates to the best way to set the volume. Should I set the S1 Pro volume to 50% then use the mixer to set the final volume or should I set the SI Pro volume higher or lower and adjust the volume on the mixer to get the level I want? Everything on the mixer is zero EQ since the whole purpose of this expensive microphone is to allow the guitar to sound the way it sounds unamplified except amplified and of course there is no EQ adjustment on the guitars when played unamplified. Or should I skip the mixer altogether and plus the mike directly into the S1 (I have external phantom power) and just use that volume control? I am using the mike on my Martin 000-28EC; Ramirez Classical and Cordoba crossover. Thanks for any input you may provide.

[@blues-house-jams]

before I buy this S1 Pro + can I add my Ampeg powered cab, as an extended bass to the S1 pro plus? it's just temp until I can feel like putting out another $2,000

How much better would 2 of them sound?? worth it?

[@arijit8381]

Which sounds better overall t s1pro plus or the woburn 3

[@Red-357]

Question since you’re hands on. Does that mean you can technically connect that microphone wireless and then connect another microphone using the XLR connection? So that’ll be like having 2 mics in one spot? Then on the second one you can use the wireless guitar and then connect a third mic using the other XLR? Is that possible? 😮

[@onzkicg]

Nice! Question can a feedback damage this speaker? I was connected to a laptop accidentally produced a strong loud feedback from mic, I wasn’t able to stop quickly maybe prolonged for about 3 seconds before the app limiter anti feedback got activated. I thought the speaker will explode 😂

[@jameslatham6512]

Might be good for electronic drums too?

[@groovemerchant99]

Would just one of these be sufficient for solo acoustic gigs in small to medium sized room/pubs? Would two be necessary for better spread? How’s the throw on these? Will they reach the back of the room without killing people in the front?

Hey guys, thanks for this. Need your opinion. I have seen a few using the s1 pro+ to record their live performances. Support has no idea what im talking about.lol - I know the pro+ allows you to stream live via pc/mac, so the video and audio are synced, and sent as one. Im wondering if you may have any suggestions, regarding the use the usb c port to stream, using a camera, or phone to record video and sound vis pro+? Im a bit confused myself, i know. Anyway im trying to wrap my head around how the pro+ can be connected to camera or phone, and sends the audio that (was mixed) by the pro+ and sending it with the video. Rather than recording the room sound. Its serving as an interface but confused on how to use camera or phone for the recording of the video, and pro+ to send the audio, synced, so I dont have to time the tracks appropriately in a daw, of some sort. Do I sound like I know what im talking about? Sometime I wonder. Im reaching out because Bose reps have no idea how to do this. Any help will be appreciated. lol

Pete, got a side question for you. in your home studio do you have a subwoofer? I recently got HS5's for a small home studio setup and while the speakers sound great they do lack some bottom bass. Was thinking about adding a matched subwoofer to help with that but wanted to get your opinion.

[@Goldtele94]

What app was he using to adjust bass? Is that new for Bose? Or is it within some guitar rig app? I have the old s1pro and I feel it can have more bass when playing music using Bluetooth and have wondered how a hex stomp would sound. Also, how do you hook up multiple speakers?
