I purchased one n the mic transmitter. I never had a Bose before n this thing is amazing. It’s LOUD N CLEAR!!! I like to sing n I’ve been using this system n I perform in public n this is just beautiful. It’s easy to Carry n transmitter is perfect. I love this system so much!! I just ordered a backpack case on eBay. This is such a great video n you are amazing!!!!

[@SalAvenueNJ]

I just ordered one of these to replace my Fishman Loudbox mini charge. The Fishman just isn't reliable, I keep having to send it back to them in the summer, when I should be busking in the subway.

That was a fantastic performance...wonderful voice and guitar work..!!... 🎸😄 🎸

[@marcelchaloupka]

Yeah, I bought one about 6 months ago. I also got the wireless transmitters. It’s been a phenomenal device. At some point I’ll get another and a Sub2. Later and for the band I’ll get a Pro 32 and use the S1 Pro+’s as floor monitors.

Where have you used it? Busking? On a stage or in a club? How large could the venue be? Thanks.

Man, i used to be a repair tech for Bose and I wished they would do more for pro musicians like me. That thing is really cool. Thanks for the video!

[@stephanbockholt5976]

Totally agree with you about the system. Only Thing, and there is always one thing, a master volume would be the cherry on the cake. I use it with two vocal mics in channel one and two. And a acoustic guitar through a venue di with a reverb pedal(both could be batterypowered too) in channel 3. Great and it works. 😅

[@daveowens]

I’ve worked with Bose as an artist and they’re serious about their engineering. Was told they have speakers they’ve been studying the effects of degradation for many, many years - wild. I liked the original S1 Pro, but the Pro+ is such an upgrade and at the same price of the original. With so many companies still trying to gouge us with increased prices, that was another plus (pun intended). I used the new Pro+ w/ the wireless modules recently and had so much positive feedback from the audience. Considering picking up a second one as an alternative to my L1 Pro8 when I don’t need that much power.

[@BezuMusician]

You mention line level on the xlr dongle. Can u explain that concept, and for what i may use it for? I play guitar, sing, using dongles, and use backing tracks via ipad (bluetooth). Im trying to figure out how to record individual tracks, so i have better control of my sound, but looks like i have to mix, on the s1pro+, then use the live stream feature, to record audio tracks to my video. Most times have to record audio, and sync video afterward. I really want to use for youtube videos, with music synched. But quality sound, not the room ambience. Any suggestions?

Bose Spec at 120 degrees is better.

[@tobiasjansen9117]

@@WWeiss-nv5vz I have played around with the Bose for a few hours now. The EQ is much better tailored for a singer and acoustic guitarist. As expected, the sweet spot is much wider on the Bose too. With that said, the build quality feels like a consumer product, whereas the Everse 8 felt like actual professional equipment. Soundwise, the Bose sounds more natural on my voice, but the speakers definitely sound less robust/thinner. One thing I really like with the Bose is the built in reverb. Works great! The Everse 8’s effects are terrible IMO. With the Bose, I don’t need additional effects which is a huge thing for the fast setup. I own two EV Evolve 30Ms I use in stereo, and obviously I can’t expect the sound quality to be on the same planet. For $700 (without a bag or transmitters), the Bose is a hard product to justify since it is clearly a cheaply made product. Although more usable for me than the Everse 8, I am still struggling with the purchase.

[@Omarkhanmusic]

I bought one two days ago and used it for a gig. Wow. This thing is so loud and the sound is amazing. I was able to plug in a guitar and a mic and do the sound from my phone. It made my gig so much easier. Unfortunately today there was a software malfunction and it was frozen on and non-responsive. I tried to hard reset it and nothing. I then went through this thread and saw someone say the battery is self contained on the bottom. Removed the two screws and the plate, popped the battery out then back in and it's working again! No need to do a replacement as i'm now in the middle of a firmware update!

The best S1 Pro+ review ever.

[@smacker360]

I bought 2 of these to play a gig at a off the grid location. Brought them home and just couldn't get a good sound out of them. for streaming music they're ok but for guitar they were way to tinny sounding, I tried everything but no luck. I have two Bose L1's and these didn't come close so I returned them and bought a power station to run all my equipment, (off the grid I take one amp, one Bose L1, a voice live extreme and an small multi effects pedal for my electric amp). The power staion worked great and was much cheaper than the 2 S1's. Plus I didn't want to buy the wireless transmitter to chain the S1's together as mentioned in this video and that's the only way to get guitar and vocals to play in stereo. Yes, you can pair them with bluetooth but then only the bluetooth source will play in stereo, not your mic or guiter. IMHO, wireless should be included as stated in thei video.

[@cbd72558]

I bought one, then realized I needed another to produce stereo sound and wider audience coverage. Then it made me think there are cheaper, better systems out there.

Waaay more expansion for less. Also although I have both, if you already have the legacy, there’s no reason to “upgrade” because it’s the exact same amps etc but if you don’t feel free to get this one. I bought a slew of pairs of the original ones for the price of one Pro+ from guys that jumped on the bandwagon and are hating on me now lol. We have clients that don’t want to learn anything when we deliver them systems…and I guess have no time to scroll through menus etc and prefer the speed of physical knobs and basically to “turn it on and get to work” lol.

Your brother's issue is that Bose is quite Avant-garde and clandestine win it comes to what they do. They don't follow trends. Bose sets the trend. The drivers are using cloth surrounds (just like my 901s... they last a lifetime. The harpsichord surrounding also allows for twice the excursion in the sub....That's not cheap! That's Science and Development... They made this speaker to use like everything else they make. I still have functioning wave radios from the 90s. All 6 still sound superb. Same asy Acoustic Waves... I have obscure Bose Tech....like the Virtual Imaging Array or VIA... I call them my Dragon's Eggs.. Expert review! I just purchased 2 s1 pro pluses and I and my fiance are Blown AWAY by these .... I can't turn them off. We keep listening and find ourselves making direct eye contact in AWE of them. Putting them on stands activates a sensor in the bottom that boosts them. You can hear them a full block away without being at full. I think Bose sold these for less than they're worth. These are easily $1,000.⁰⁰ performance systems. There's isn't a reason on Earth not to have one and or two.(I can't wait to buy 2 more for 4 , as well.... I was going to sell when it's time to upgrade... Oh HELL NO!
