Amazing mini PA that does…

The S1 Pro is an amazing sounding powered speaker that has a ton of volume, is very flexible, super simple to set up and start using and has been designed by someone who plays music live. I find it hard to fault this unit, first off the thing just works! 5 second set up and it sounded great. It's light but very loud if needed and still sounds great at full volume. The wireless transmitters work straight away are deliver great sound. They connect them selves when charged by the unit, the little charging/storage bays are so slick!
Such a cool design as it allows you to have the speaker on it's side or tilt back or go on a stand. The controls are clear and make sense and change orientation depending on which way you stand the speaker. The Bose phone app gives you a ton more options if you need them but if you just want to turn the speaker on and start playing the present sounds are superb.
You can buy two and they will work in stereo, there are a range of inputs and options and it's clear there was a lot of thought that went to what options were offered. for example, 2 different USB jacks, an instrument jack and mini phono jack and it has a balanced line out as well.
The clarity of the speaker at volume is really stellar and it doesn't rattle or buzz as many similar units do. It was hard to believe it sounded that good. Truly.
The instrument channel has some preset eq's for acoustic guitar or electric guitar and they they work really well.
I have some small gripes,
1. the power switch is a short press button and almost everything else these days is long press to avoid accidental activation. I long held the button a number of times through habit till I remembered but really it's a minor thing.
2. The web based updater app took a couple of goes to work. That could be a browser issue so hard to be to harsh on this one. I'm using a mac computer, not sure if others saw this. Once it did connect, the issue went away and I haven't a problem since.
3. I think the little rubber covers for the empty transmitter bays will quickly be lost. A little slot or compartment for them would have been really great or maybe just a cord that connects them to the unit.
Other than those points I'm over the moon about this little powerhouse. Looking forward to doing some shows with it soon and I may get a second one to have a stereo set up. The S1 Pro ticks all the boxes. Well worth exploring if you are in the market for a small PA set up
