Bose S1 Pro+ Portable PA System: Detailed Review

Bose S1 Pro+ is a versatile PA (Public Address) system that combines performance, portability, and wireless integration. It is an ideal solution for small to medium-sized events, musicians, DJs, speakers, and trainers.

Key Features and Innovations:

• Wireless Instrument and Microphone Integration (Wireless RF Transmitters): The most revolutionary feature of the S1 Pro+ is the ability to use and charge optional wireless RF transmitters (Bose Wireless Instrument Transmitter and Bose Wireless Microphone Transmitter) by plugging them directly into the integrated slots on the speaker. This eliminates cable clutter and minimizes setup time, providing great freedom in performance and stage arrangement.
• Advanced Bose Music App Support: The S1 Pro+ is fully compatible with the Bose Music app. This app allows you to remotely control sound levels, EQ settings (treble, bass), effects like reverb from your smartphone or tablet. Additionally, it can be used for system updates and accessing additional features.
• Intuitive OLED Displays: The separately designed OLED displays for each channel clearly show current settings (volume, EQ, effects), providing great ease especially in low-light environments or when controlled remotely.
• Modern and Lightweight Design: The S1 Pro+ is lighter (approximately 6.5 kg) and has a more modern, rounded design compared to the previous model. The ergonomic carrying handle ensures easy portability.
• Bluetooth 5.0 Connectivity: It offers a more stable, faster, and wider range Bluetooth connection (Bluetooth 5.0), making the wireless music streaming more seamless.
• Multi-Positioning and Automatic EQ: The S1 Pro+ can be positioned according to different usage scenarios (horizontal on the ground, tilted, monitor position, on a speaker stand). Thanks to the automatic EQ feature, it automatically optimizes sound output according to the speaker's location to always provide the best sound quality.

Sound Quality and Power:

Thanks to Bose's proprietary sound technologies, the S1 Pro+ offers surprisingly full and clear sound for its size. It provides balanced and natural tonality for both vocals and instruments. It delivers powerful performance without distortion even at high volume levels.

Inputs and Controls:

• XLR Line Output: Used to send audio signal to an external mixer or another S1 Pro+ unit.
• USB-C Port: Used for system updates.
• ToneMatch Processing: The built-in ToneMatch processing technology helps microphones and instruments (especially acoustic guitars) produce a natural and rich sound.

Battery and Portability:

• Built-in Rechargeable Battery: Comes with a high-performance lithium-ion battery. It offers approximately 11 hours of operating time on a single charge, making it ideal for outdoor events or situations where power source is limited.
• Compact and Lightweight: With a weight of approximately 6.5 kg and compact dimensions (33.2 cm H x 23.8 cm W x 27.9 cm D), it is easily portable and storable.
