  • Thanks for the video. I’m solo using a JBL eon one column array (the older discontinued one) and am finding I need more sound in some bigger venues so I’m going to get one of these to supplement in those cases. Was leaning toward JBL to keep the branding consistent but the Bose is intriguing.

    I own two Bose S1 Pro and have no issue using the Bose connect app to do the stereo link. I play my backing tracks to both speakers and the use the two channels on each Bose S1 Pro to add two guitars and two mics. I have an iphone12 with the latest iOS with zero connection issues..

    What mixer did you use. Say if you want reverb on your vocal and delay on your electric guitar. How would you do different subtle effe
  • The JBL bass response is much better than the Bose at 35 Hz. In fact it's the best of any 8" battery pa. If you use the 6 band channel eqs and the 8 band global eq the sound is easily as good if not a bit better than the Bose. Both are very good but set up properly (you can store settings) the JBL has the edge and is cheaper too with a 7 year warranty. The party mode is great too.

    I'm playing acoustic guitar and sing, using microphone for guitar not pick up. I need to upgrade my amp, do you have any suggestion? Playing only for friends and family in small space.
