At the 2018 NAMM Show, Anaheim, CA, Bose Professional is debuting the S1 Pro multi-position PA system - an all-in-one PA, floor monitor, practice amplifier and primary music system, and the latest addition to the acclaimed Bose portable professional product line. Above all, the new ultra-portable Bose S1 Pro is a high-performance, and battery-powered smart Bluetooth speaker that musicians will want to use and take everywhere.
Designed for musicians, and drawing upon the technology developed for the lauded Bose L1 and F1 portable loudspeaker systems, the S1 Pro allows users to have loud sound anywhere. The S1 Pro delivers on the combination of performance, portability and versatility. At only 15 lbs (6.8 kg) and with dimensions of 13" x 9.5" x 11.2" (330 x 241 x 286 mm) (easily fitting in an airplane’s overhead compartment), the ultra-portable and rugged S1 Pro is lightweight and designed for effortless transport using the convenient carry-handle.
More importantly, the Bose S1 Pro is engineered to be used in four different positions to accommodate a wide range of applications - tilt-back, elevated, mounted on a speaker stand, or placed on its side (as a floor monitor). Built-in sensors detect positional changes and trigger Auto EQ, which automatically recalibrates the system’s internal settings for each different placement/application, ensuring that users always sound their best with optimum sound in any position.
The S1 Pro comes with a three-channel mixer. Reverb and tone controls are featured on two channels with XLR / quarter-inch combo jacks, and a third channel is for either 3.5 mm (1/8") line-in or wireless Bluetooth connectivity. Additionally, a line-out jack offers easy expansion to other systems.
Using the wireless channel, music can be played from a mobile device easily using Bluetooth streaming (great for pre-produced backing tracks or background music), while getting great sound quickly with integrated ToneMatch processing for microphones and instruments. Additionally, users can enjoy hours of play on-the-go with the S1 Pro’s optional rechargeable lithium-ion battery; a special setting and intelligent circuitry offer a choice between trickle charge or dedicated full-power charge. An optional rugged backpack-style carrying case with special storage compartment (for cables and accessories) further enhances portability.
The S1 Pro multi-position PA system is currently available with a U.S. MSRP of $599 (optional rechargeable lithium-ion battery is also available at $99 U.S. MSRP).
