In the world of professional sound systems, Bose has always been a leader in innovation. The original S1 Pro revolutionized how buskers perform on the go, but the latest Bose S1 Pro+ takes things to a completely different level. This versatile PA system is designed for performers who refuse to compromise on audio performance and portability.
See why this is the best portable PA speaker available:
One of the most immediate upgrades of the Bose S1 Pro+ is the newly integrated OLED display system. Unlike the previous model which used manual dials, the S1 Pro+ utilizes crisp digital screens on the side panel. These displays adjust their orientation based on how you place the speaker. Whether you have it upright, tilted back, or on its side as a floor monitor, the information stays perfectly readable.
Wireless Freedom and Optional Transmitters: As shown in the video, the S1 Pro+ features built-in **wireless receivers** for channels 1 and 2. This allows you to perform without wires completely by using the optional Bose wireless transmitters. To make it even more convenient, the speaker features charging slots that power up your transmitters while you are on the move. This level of integration ensures that your setup is clean and ready to play for your next performance.
The Signature Bose Experience: Even though it is lighter than the original, weighing in at only 14.4 lbs, the sound is bigger and bolder. It features a high-excursion 6-inch woofer and three 2.25-inch high-frequency drivers. With the help of **ToneMatch technology**, you can fine-tune the EQ for microphones or acoustic guitars with a single touch. The Auto EQ automatically adjusts the output to suit the environment, providing balanced audio no matter the venue.
Battery Life and Versatile Connectivity: If you are playing outdoors, **battery life** is the top priority. The Bose S1 Pro+ delivers up to **11 hours of unplugged playtime** per charge. Aside from its impressive power, it offers extensive connectivity. You get two XLR/quarter-inch combo inputs, a 3.5mm aux input, and seamless **Bluetooth streaming**. If you are a streamer, the new **USB-C livestream mode** allows you to use the S1 Pro+ as an sound card for mobile broadcasts.
