Bose has earned a stellar reputation over the years for audio products, including their compact Wave system home stereos, home theater systems and noise-cancelling headphones. Over the last decade or so, Bose has applied similar innovation and ingenuity to designing portable PA systems for musicians.
The Bose S1 Pro functions as an impressive portable PA, practice amp and monitor delivering much more than its compact dimensions suggest.
Due to its compact size and shape, the S1 Pro can be set up almost anywhere. When it was first launched the battery was an option but is now sold with it as standard and when I’ve been using it I’ve been getting about 11 hours out of it.
The S1 Pro can also be mounted on standard speaker stands, which allows the sound to travel farther. The S1 Pro provided high output, ensuring the keys and vocals travelled well while maintaining clarity.
