How many S1 will it take to be equal to the L1 pro eight, in terms of loudness? Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback!

Wow, interesting as I'm a JBL guy too. It sounds (literally,lol) that these Bose are really good, and stirring up the Pro Audio world. I just wondered with the all plastic construction how durable they would be. And the fact they offer a 32 speaker Line Array is rather special. Hope they perform well for you. My current home surround ended up being a used JBL system (as buying used, I can enjoy a higher quality system than buying new) and blown away with what I ended up with. It's the best sounding system I've ever owned and has truly made me a convert to JBL. Things like the "Bespoke" AV Receiver (rated 105W RMS per channel but closer to 140W RMS, plenty of power), and all passive speakers (including towers) seem more musical than any of the powered speaker systems by other brands. The higher the volume, the clearer the sound. Amazing. And it goes to "11" on the volume knob. lol. nice feature. And my prior system was an Onkyo AV Receiver with Polk passive surround system speakers, so not shabby at all. By the way some excellent music for ya: hardest hitting Drum and Bass songs for your enjoyment: "Witchcraft" by Pendulum - Rob Swire D & B mix. On KZfaq channel "Be a Baddie like a Demon" - song "Blowin Smoke" (fourth or fifth song). Not sure who even does the song, but it hits hard! AND Best R & R album of 2023: "Howl at the Sky" - 'In Line for the End Times'. Entire album, debut album by the way released 6/23 is Excellent!. Solid 9 out of 10, and no cookie monster vocals.LOL. Plus some great guitar work. You won't be disappointed! Lastly: Best R & R Album 2020: "Villagers of Ioannina City" (Greece) - "Age of Aquarius". Again Solid 9 out of 10, entire album, their 2nd. Heavy Pink Floyd influence, while still completely original, and using classical Greek instruments instead of synths. Again singing, no cookie monster vocals. Good stuff. I'm a Musician, playing drums and piano since 16, and I listen to music every day instead of watching tv, - so yeah I know good music! Enjoy friend! Peace!

@@johannjohann6523 If you like JBL, you should try CBT J70-1. It is a passive array column with four 5 in speakers and sixteen soft dome tweeters. I actually modified both of my Bose L1 Pro 16 so I can use its built-in subwoofer with a pair of JBL CBT70J-1. I feel I can put up this set up against ANY portable line array systems out there (believe me, I'm not boasting here). Just like you, I buy decent used speakers and I have never been disappointed . I really hope you have a chance to try those JBL speakers. I really think the plastic construction doesn't interfere with the quality of the sound as long as those speakers are paired with a subwoofer to handle all the bass sound. I used to handle the sound system for a church and have experienced with all lines of JBL MR series including their 3-way system MR838's and some of the SR series. Those professional speakers are the best, and yet, too heavy and sound a bit harsh to me. Wish you lot of fun with the experimenting of sounds.

Yep, well all of my DJs use the EV 50s too so you're not alone. I just didn't care for the sound and lack of headroom compared to the Bose in my opinion. Thanks for watching.

I seriously doubt that you did a job with 400 people with the EV 50s the low end drops off quickly. When you start walking away from them they are in your face bass which is good if you’re up close but further back, it’s all mids and highs

Yep, this is just my opinion for DJing weddings, I'm sure they work great for other applications. Actually most of the DJs I know prefer the EVs. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the input!

Agree! Thanks for watching

That sounds great can you share the info for that?

Can you please share this info?

@@jpwpro i send you a email

@@djmoevibez I designed it myself and printed it with my 3d printer with tpu material, it's not for sale now..... I find it a pity that Bose didn't just add a little reinforcement in the bottom section.. there maybe there is a reason, but what?

Can you share the wobble technique you have to reduce the wobble

How many inputs you need?

just 3- kick, vocs and guitar- but most speakers without the onboard mixer only have 2!@@jpwpro

Cool thanks for the info.

After owning a pair of the EV M30 and Bose. The EV’s are muddy in comparison.

First of all thanks for watching yes I originally went to Guitar Center to listen to the EVS and the rep asked me if I had heard the Bose L1 Pro 16s? I said no. He did a comparison between the EV 50s and the Bose L! Pro 16s and it wasn't even close! Specs don't mean s*** in my opinion! As far as the settings go (Lows/Mids/Highs) when I compared them they were all set at 12:00 on the EQ

Weird he’s the only I’ve heard on YT that has these opinions on the Bose over the EV’s and the LD’s. Think must be trying to get Bose to send him some speakers to review/promote. I listened to both of those at Guitar Center as well and that EV was so much cleaner sounding. Bose reminded me of a rebranded JBL. The clerk even tried to steer me away from them to a top and bottom set of Harbinger’s and that was definitely a red flag..

@@seeda3473 I listened to the harbingers and they were extremely harsh. I would never buy those. I did listen to Bose (but only the l1 pro 8. The rep wouldn’t get out the ev50 😑. I only got to listen to the small ev everse 8 and compared it to the small Bose s1 pro plus. The Bose l1 pro 8 sounded fantastic with acoustic guitar but just didn’t get that loud. The tiny battery powered ev, I thought was louder than the Bose column LOL. However, the Bose did sound better with my acoustic. I ended up buying the small Bose for my daughter for practice and convenience. If I get an all in one, I’m going ev. More channels, more effects, more EQ. You just get a lot more for your money. I feel limited with the Bose.

@@seeda3473 Nope not looking for free gear at all just giving my opinion. I've used all 3 brands EV 50s, Maui 28s and the Bose at the same venue and crowd size and to me there's no comparison, the Bose L1 Pro 16s sound the best and have the most headroom. But like I mentioned in my reviews I have 3 DJs that work for me that all use the EV 50s. I do think that the EV's and Maui's are built better/more road worthy than the Bose. I currently own the Bose and the Maui 28's. I use the Bose when I need more sound for a little larger event.

Yes I have. I was a long time JBL guy but I have to say the JBL PRX one is the worst of all the speakers. I do not recommend them at all

Totally agree Bose is way better and I have try both

Great and thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thanks for watching Kenny! That's an interesting question. Honestly I have now Idea but I will look into that. Keep you posted.

@@jpwpro Most kind old chap !

Are you using them as a live musician or DJ? If you're a guitar player like your profile pic suggests then then maybe the evolve are better fit for you. But for DJs there's no comparison the Bose win hands down in my opinion. Thank you for watching!

Thanks for your input, glad they work better for you. Thanks for watching.

Couldn’t disagree more after owning both. Mid’s & Highs we’re far better on the Bose.

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching and donating 👍🏻

Thank you!

I use the RANE FOUR and the Roland 707M and I only turn the Bose dial to four notch.

Thanks for watching. Bose 180 is great for the room but not so great for the dj. 120 would have been better for my ears. The clarity on the Bose is unmatched so far with other speakers I’ve heard or used. But the Bose fragile build and road worthiness is very lacking. If I could have the Bose guts inside the EV shell that would be a perfect match IMHO✅ Got 3 wedding this weekend so I will have a good idea how the LD Maui 28s rank with these.

Please share with me I would life to reduce the wiggle as well. TY

The Evolve is unbeatable in "LIVE". That's the flatter configuration, where the 3.5-inch drivers do an excellent job in the mid frequencies. Far surpasses Bosé.@@jpwpro

EV’s more clarity? Not so after owning both. That’s one of the main points here. The EV is lacking in clarity.

Everyones ears are different. For me the whole Bose Pro line including the Pro32 has a rolled off top end. Thinking, because they don't use a dedicated tweeter. Specs show this by not reaching 20Hz like most PA's. Even if I max out the treble EQ, Bose still sounds recessed on the highs compared to QSC, JBL, RCF, EV.@@ronedwards8239

I haven'y used them outdoors. I have QSC K12.2 speakers I use outside for ceremonies. I don't like using the column style speakers for outdoor ceremonies because of the uneven ground usually in garden areas where we setup. Too hard to keep them level vs a traditional stand and speaker.

@@jpwpro I actually returned my bose l1 pro 16 after being disappointed with them outdoors in a park, the EV50 was great outside on a beach! If you get a chance, give it a test, I would love your opinion.

Use TRS cable on chan3 for DJ mixer

@@DavidB_AudioTech Do not use XLR and use channel 3 & 4 instead on my controller

@@DavidB_AudioTech this confused me. Channel 3 on the pro16 is bluetooth. Just trying to understand the logic.

@@djkirk2854 What type of controller do you use? Have you tried an external mixer? What volume level do you have the Pro16 set at?

@@djmoevibez the chan3 is the gain channel for dj console, xlr chan1 and two is too high sensibility, try xlr to trs cable from your mixer or djconsole

That's the one speaker brand I have not tried. I'm very curious how they would compare to the Bose, EVS and the LD's.

I have the Evox 12 system, simply amazing. I got lucky them got them before the price increase.

It depends on what model you are looking at, Bose L1 pro 8 and 16 have the column on top and the 32 has it on the side.

Wow, sorry to hear this. No I don't have that issue.

Try switching from unbalanced to balanced cables.

50

Do you think the 50m would fare better?

@@vu3088 I don't think the 50m would be any different as far as sound goes, I think the 50m is more about having more mixing/input options.

I have a cart so that doesn't matter to me. The BIG difference is the sound and room coverage (180 degrees vs 74-90 for a traditional speaker) and the sound is way better than any traditional speaker I've ever used. This is why I made the switch. Thanks for watching.

Not nearly as much

Agreed. While the 50's column may be a bit sturdier, it's still vulnerable to being damaged by someone bumping into it. Really surprised either company hasn't addressed this. I get trying to keep costs down, but I'd gladly sacrifice a little more money for a sturdier column.

Not so. I owned both. EV’s mid’s and highs are muddy compared to the Bose. We also did a shoot out with another Pro, same result.

Sorry I totally disagree with the better sound. Bose sound is amazing. The Bose & LD Maui 28s both sound better than the EVs in my opinion. The only thing that EV is better at than Bose is the build quallity.

Correct did you check out my KZfaq channel title it's for mobile DJs not bands or solo performers but thanks for watching anyways. And I totally disagree with your statement! Truth is anyone could be a f****** DJ and a f****** solo performer! The question are you any good at it?
