Note: For use of the Bose® S1 Pro Multi-Position PA system with an optional rechargeable battery (not included), see the battery accessory owner's guide on http://www.Bose.com.
Sound great anywhere with the ultra-portable Bose S1 Pro Multi-Position PA system. Designed for musicians, DJs and general PA use, the S1 Pro is the ultimate all-in-one PA, floor monitor, practice amplifier and primary music system.
Multiple positions with Auto EQ allow the S1 Pro to be set down on the floor, up on a table or even mounted on a tripod stand, ensuring that you always sound your best. And with a 3-channel mixer, reverb, Bluetooth® streaming and ToneMatch® processing onboard, it's always ready to become your go-anywhere music system for nearly any occasion.
The S1 Pro carton contains an S1 Pro system and one each of the following accessories:
AC power cord
Cover
For a complete list of optional equipment and accessories, please visit www.Bose.com.
The versatile Bose® S1 Pro Multi-Position PA system operates in four unique modes. With Auto EQ, the system automatically updates to maintain optimum tonal balance for each coverage pattern. Use the examples below to quickly identify the best mode for your application.
Position the S1 Pro on a surface. This projects sound clearly and evenly throughout the audience, and ensures that audience members enjoy the full frequency range of the system.
For performances where your audience is close to you, tilt the S1 Pro onto its back edge. For best results, the performer should stand or sit to one side of the loudspeaker to avoid blocking sound from the audience.
To use the S1 Pro as a personal floor monitor, place it on the ground horizontally, in front of and pointing toward the performer. Tilt the loudspeaker onto its side edge.
Place one or two S1 Pro systems on speaker stands (sold separately) for general-purpose sound reinforcement.
Note: Rotate the Bose logo counterclockwise to match your chosen mode.
The Bose® S1 Pro control panel provides the necessary connectors, controls and indicators for operation.
Use Channel 1 and 2 inputs for microphones and musical instruments. Integrated ToneMatch® signal processing allows microphones and instruments to sound their best. Use Channel 3 for Bluetooth® connectivity and line-level inputs.
Note: The Quick Charge ( ) power setting is for use with the battery accessory only. For more information, see the battery accessory owner's guide, available at www.Bose.com.
Before plugging in a sound source, adjust all channel Volume controls fully counterclockwise.
Channel 1 and 2 are for use with dynamic microphones, guitars, keyboards or other instruments.
Channel 3 is for use with Bluetooth®-capable devices and line-level audio inputs.

The bottom of the S1 Pro system includes a pole cup for mounting the loudspeaker on a speaker stand. The pole cup fits a standard 35 mm post. When the S1 Pro is placed on a speaker stand, the EQ automatically updates to maintain optimum tonal balance.
Do NOT use the Bose S1 Pro system with a tripod/stand that is unstable. The loudspeaker is only designed for use on a 35 mm post, and the tripod/stand must be capable of supporting a speaker with a minimum weight of 7 kg (15 lbs) and an overall size of 241 x 279 x 330 mm (9.5 x 11 x 13 inches). Using a tripod/stand that is not designed to support the size and mass of the S1 Pro system may lead to an unstable and hazardous condition that could result in injury.
There are four primary ways to use the S1 Pro. The following pages show examples of typical setup scenarios.
Place the S1 Pro on a tabletop in the front of a room to give a business presentation or place it in the bed of your pickup truck for a tailgate party. Plug in a microphone and narrate over a multimedia presentation or get your friends pumped up before the game while listening to music wirelessly via your Bluetooth® capable mobile device.
Place the S1 Pro in Tilt-Back position on the ground behind you for live musical performances. Tilting the loudspeaker onto it's back edge creates a higher vertical coverage pattern, perfect for small audiences and passersby. Cue your backing tracks via Bluetooth® streaming and play along with a microphone and guitar.
Place the S1 Pro on its horizontal side edge to use as a floor monitor. Face it toward the performer to be used as a personal monitor or send your mix to a main PA system, then dial in your equalization and reverb preferences for your performance.
Using a conventional speaker stand, you can use your S1 Pro as a PA system. Connect a microphone and give a toast or sing a song while cuing the music wirelessly via Bluetooth® streaming. Use the line out to daisy-chain your S1 Pro into multiple units for more output and coverage.
Use a mixer with two S1 Pro systems as a conventional PA system. The wide and consistent coverage of the system ensures that the entire audience can easily hear the performance throughout the room.
Stereo
Note: When used as a conventional PA, reverb and ToneMatch® should be turned off.
Mono / Daisy-Chain
Link two S1 Pro systems together in mono by using a TRS ¼" cable. Take the line out of the primary unit and plug it into the secondary S1 Pro system. Turn the channel volume up until both units are at desired volume.
Note: On secondary units, set ToneMatch® and reverb to off and leave tone controls at center detent position.

Problem | What to do |
System is plugged in, power switch is on, but power LED is off | • Make sure you have power at the AC outlet. Try operating a lamp or other equipment from the same AC outlet or test the outlet using an AC outlet tester. |
Power LED is on (blue), but no sound | • Make sure your instrument is plugged into the signal input. • Make sure the volume control is turned up on your source. • Make sure the volume control is turned up on the S1 Pro. • Make sure your Signal/Clip indicator is lit. • Plug your instrument into a different amplifier to make sure the source is working. |
Power LED is red | • Please call Product and Technical Support at (877) 335-2673. |
With nothing plugged into the S1 Pro, a slight hum or buzz is heard | • Using an AC outlet tester, test the AC outlet the S1 Pro is plugged into for reversed or open (hot, neutral, and/or ground) contacts. • If using an extension cord, plug the S1 Pro directly into the outlet. |
Instrument or audio source sounds distorted | • Turn volume down on the source; if your audio source volume cannot be adjusted, "input pads" are available from your preferred instrument retailer. • Try a different source or instrument. |
Microphone is encountering feedback | • Turn volume down. • Orient the microphone so that it is not pointing directly at the loudspeaker. • Try a different microphone. • Try a different position for the loudspeaker and/or vocalist on stage. • Increase the distance from the loudspeaker to the microphone. • If using a vocal effects processor, make sure it is not contributing to the feedback problem. |
Paired Bluetooth® device will not connect to the speaker | • If your device requires a passcode, make sure the one you entered is correct. • Make sure Bluetooth functionality is turned on or enabled on your source device. • Your Bluetooth device may be out of range; try moving it closer to the speaker. • If possible, turn off all other nearby Bluetooth devices or disable their Bluetooth functionality. • Clear the speaker memory or pair to new device by pressing and holding the Bluetooth button for ten seconds. Pair the Bluetooth device and the speaker again. • Turn the power off and back on; then try re-pairing your device. |
Excessive hum when daisy-chaining multiple units | • Make sure you're using a ¼" TRS cable; do not use a ¼" TS (guitar) cable. |
