I admit I have several Bluetooth speakers for music streaming, including a pair of Bose Soundlink Flex’s which provide awesome stereo on the go in a small package. I purchased the Bose S1 Pro+ with specific use in mind. I am just beginning to learn to play guitar, and I also have an older wireless PA system in need of upgrading. Therefore, I was excited to get the S1 Pro+ and see what it brought to the table for my specific needs.
In the box is the S1 Pro+ which is a 14.4lb speaker. Also included is a lithium-ion battery which Bose states can run for up to 11 hours based on variables like volume etc. In addition, I got both wireless transmitters available (both work up to 30 feet), one for an instrument ( 1/4”) and one for a XLR Mic. The speaker stores both transmitters, and they charge in the speaker when it’s plugged in, which is very convenient (stated to last up to 4 hours each). I went all in, and before even playing with the speaker, I purchased the Bose S1 Pro carrying case, a mic and mic stand, and a speaker stand. No, I’m not going busking, but I just wanted a complete setup.
The speaker has a carrying handle built-in for easy mobility. It can stand upright, lean backward while upright, be set sideways as a monitor, and mounted on a speaker stand. The speaker has 3 channels, technically 4 (will explain). Channels 1 & 2 are for mics and instruments. Each channel has a balanced/unbalanced 1/4”/XLR combo jack. Channel 3 is for connecting Bluetooth and has ¼” (mono) and 3.5mm (stereo) aux jacks. You can use one of the jacks and Bluetooth simultaneously. Each channel as a button/knob and OLED display (which rotates when horizontal or vertical). Channels 1 & 2 have adjustments for volume, treble, bass, and reverb. You can access ToneMatch presets. Channel 3 doesn’t have a reverb adjustment. There’s a USB port to charge your phone. There’s a XLR post-mix line-level line out.
I decided to run all channels with my first test. Being able to play the guitar and use the mic while streaming music all through the speaker was great. Everything sounded very clear. I moved around the room and experienced no wireless drops. I just used the mic, and it makes for a great PA system. The Bose Music app allows for adjusting everything wirelessly. You can pair up a 2nd speaker for stereo or fuller sound if planning to use in a larger space.
I love this speaker. It’s what I was looking for, and more. I highly recommend it.
