Yes, I've played live music and dj sets for up to 75 or so in a wine bar. when i turn the speakers outward then people on both sides can hear from afar in outdoors setting. It's not gonna be club feel loud but the bass and frequency spectrum will be good quality. You will have to protect your tops from bottoming out by cutting out the bass to them with inline hi pass filters, adjusting the bass eq, and/or adjusting on the source music. Cheers.

@@eduardoborjas9284 this means the bass sound /low frequency offer too much power so that we need to prevent adding highly EQ with unconsciously? 😂 It’s pity still not having club like loud though. Thanks for your kindly response anyway.

I understand. Every speaker has its limits/strengths based on the system it is used with. I found that my two BoseS1Pros are very good for about 50-75 people (very clean with low noise), especially when I block the very low frequencies with an inline filter, or better yet with an active crossover. Then I can increase the volume on the boses1pro for larger crowds. I can also roll off the bass knob to help prevent low freq overload. For 100 people or more I suggest look at larger three way speaker cabinet like QSC 10.2 or 12.2. Good luck.

Thanks for watching. It took me just over three hours by myself to assemble. Used it about 4 times already! And we absolutely love the fact that it keeps good cooking temperatures and the meat is tasty, plus it comes with 4 meat temperature probes!! Love it!

I really like my Klark Teknik BT device! I use it every day!

Thanks for watching! I wasn’t even going to record until I had started it. I will definitely record the steps from the beginning. But as I recall, I had a lot of experimenting with the vinyl measurements and the speaker box before I decided to cut, stitch, and sew! I will say you should make sure that you have plenty of material, so that you can make it slightly larger than the box by about 10%. Hope this helps and give me a like if you haven’t already done so! Cheers!

@@eduardoborjas9284 Thank you sir.

Congrats and thanks for watching. I don’t have a S1 Sub but I would recommend stereo cable from your laptop to left and right input on your S1 Sub, then xlr outputs left and right to each of your Bose S1 Pros. If your S1 Sub supports High Pass Filter to the outputs then I recommend using that to protect your S1 pros.

Thanks for watching!

Next time I will show the steps to make it yourself. Basically, 1) measure your speaker around and cut your cover about 5% larger so you have wiggle room, especially at the stitch sewn edges. 2) Stitch sew the vertical edge together. 2) Measure and cut a flat piece for the top about 5% larger. 3) Flip the pieces inside out and stitch sew the top onto the first piece. Cut off any excess. Tip: use markers and pin needles to hold the cover in place while you stitch sew together.

Thanks for watching. I use tripods made by Gator Frameworks. They are very light weight and can go up like 7 feet or so!

Actually, for this video I used my short tripods made by Proline. They are only 4 foot high and work good for indoors; however they are not very stable. I would not recommend for outdoor use or where they might be bumped by someone.

Thanks for watching. For a stereo splitter (L/R) you can use something like this. J&D 3.5mm 1/8 inch TRS Male to Dual 6.35mm 1/4 inch TS Male Mono Stereo Y-Cable Splitter for Amplifiers/Mixer Audio Recorder, Zinc Alloy Housing, Nylon Braid, Gold Plated Copper Shell, 1.5 Feet a.co/d/agayDio

If you do this setup do it with the Bose Sub2

@@DJBpartyTV I had the Bose F1 it hardly had any power I got rid of it! I previously had the QSC kw181 & it had massive power getting the QSC Ks118 this should do the job

Great video,! What splitters do I need?

You can use these kind…www.amazon.com/dp/B0768CM5KL?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_ZM6YQCEW7W85B52EHQ0A

Thanks! Yes these are two BoseS1Pro’s plus one QSC sub, which pairs nicely for small events. S1 pro’s volume knob was at approximately 4th mark but I should have run them to about 5 or 6 to cover the area better. The sub had no problem running at about 4 steps of volume. Overall happy with the coverage. Next time I will position the stage monitors better and work on front of house mix first, then stage mix last.

Splendid .

Glad it was helpful!

Hi! Thanks for the view! The manual says it’s BT version 4.2.

Hi! Thanks for watching! It’s a Duracell PowerBlock 500. Got it at Costco.

Mahalo! I recently saw some cocktail hour performers at a hotel in Kona! One guy was using what looked like a Bose Sub L1 Array. It sounded nice up close but lost impact from afar. Another guy had 2 QSC KS12 tops and that was nice and loud from pretty much all distances where I could see the performer!

Hi thanks for watching! I don’t current own or have access to a Bose Sub 2, but I really like the rollers/casters on the QSC KS112.

Bose Sub 1 would be a closer comparison to the 112. Bose Sub 2 is more closely compared to the 212.

Hi. Thanks for watching. I don't have either Sub 1 or Sub 2 to run a side by side comparison with, but I've heard many positive things from folks about the Sub 2. What I've seen from other videos is that it uses a single racetrack-shaped driver inside a computer-tower shaped enclosure. So the form factor is certainly different from my traditional looking box of my KS112. Beyond that, I have no audible comparison, but I'll have to do so if I can get my hands on one - even if a loaner.

@@DJBpartyTV Hi! But it says qsc ks112 is 2k watts while Bose Sub 2 is only 1k watts. Is that true in the real world?

One is rated RMS & the other is rated at MAX. They are both 1000 watts but the Sub2 sounds way better.

Thanks for watching, Mr Weiss! I don’t have a Bose Sub2 to run a sound comparison against but if I could compare these two subs I would. That said my choice was the QSC KS112 sub because of the casters, traditional look (form factor), and that it sets me up for future growth/expansion of my system for bigger venues. Right now, it suits my current needs for low end blend with the BoseS1 Pros while also setting me up for expansion if and when I can invest in higher capacity tops and another Ks112.

Hi thanks for watching! Good question. The Sub outputs (channels A and B) are both pass through, and they pass the signals on the inputs (A and B) even if the sub is powered off. I like this design, which means that the Bose S1 Pro tops will get a signal through the connections even if the sub shuts off. And yes, with this connection set up I’m not using the Bluetooth feature of the Bose S1 Pros.

@@eduardoborjas9284 thank you for your information. I have Bose Sub1, I am not sure if it has the same features as your sub.

Hi thanks for watching! Yea I’ve heard that Everses are good for portable micro PA set ups. Will have to keep an eye on those to see how they might fit into my expanding rig. I’m currently eyeing the powered K10.2’s for the eventual next stage in my rig development.

@@eduardoborjas9284 save yourself some money and get the QSC CP12s

Thanks for watching!

Hi thanks for watching! Love your comparison videos. Keep those coming! As far as your question I have two comments: 1) For this video I wasn't using true L/R Stereo, because I was running mono to each side. That's because I didn't have a proper stereo splitter cable with the right ends, so I used what was available. 2) I used a simple iPhone dongle with two 1/8" TRS headphone outs, then I ran two TRS cables from there. On the other end of these two cables I used 1/8" TRS Female to 1/4" Mono Male plugs to insert into the Sub. Note: a true stereo method is to just get a Stereo splitter cable that breaks out from 1/8" male stereo to 1/4" male Tip and 1/4" male Ring. I didn't have one of these stereo splitters available for this video, but it's on my stocking stuffer wish list. Hope that clarifies.

Hi thanks for checking the video out. The answer is yes. The QSC KS112 has two options 1)80 Hz, or 2)100 Hz . For this video, I ran the crossover at 80 Hz.

Thank you !

It’s an adjustable onstage pole with thread.

Nice! What types of instruments or genre did you try your set up with? Your combination is one of my targeted future plans for a fully powered PA.

@@eduardoborjas9284 for outside i ran Keys,bass, and drums direct. Mic'd the guitar. Country/Rock genre.

@@eduardoborjas9284 I second that. We have a 6 piece band with lead vocalist, three BGV's. I was using Alto's with Alto sub. The difference is definitely in the clarity. The K12's are so clean and detailed. The K112's give much better thump in the low end. I am completely satisfied. And may I say, the Alto's sounded good, just not great.

Good question! And thanks for watching. Essentially, I did try it (off camera) first by using just one channel (side a) of the sub then going up to the Bose s1, but the sub didn’t sound as loud. The sub had more audible thump when I took the output of sub side a and connected it to the input of sub side b, then output of side b up to the top (Bose s1). I definitely recommend using both sub inputs when using a single QSC kS112!

@@eduardoborjas9284 that’s very interesting. Would you have the same effect by either: a. Using a XLR splitter and essentially going in both inputs at the same time rather then looping back in? Or b. Just increase the QSC gain by a notch or two?

@@eduardoborjas9284 i’ve never seen or heard of how you hooked up the subwoofer, is it still working and can you do that to KW181?

Hi! Thanks for watching! Given a single QSC sub and single Bose top configuration, I would think that your option (b) turning up the QSC volume, would achieve similar results to my “jumper loop” method. I would avoid splitting the source signal with a Y cable for a single sub, single top configuration. Also, whatever signal path I run, I’m always aware of impacts to my mono/stereo signal.

Hi thanks for watching! When I ran a single sub and single top, then that was the signal path that I used. Probably for about three times. I have since added another top, and a blue tooth stereo receiver, so now I send my stereo signal to the BT receiver, then stereo output to the QSC sub, then left/right output to the tops, respectively. I love the system set up! I’ll post a future video of that config some time. Stay tuned! I’m not sure of the capabilities of the KW118 but if it’s like the KS112, then it should work.

I never got to compare the QSC KS112 with the BOSE Sub2 system for two main reasons (differentiators in favor of the KS112). First, the KS112 has heavy duty casters, making transport a breeze for outdoor set ups. Secondly, if I ever want to upgrade to cover larger venues, all I have to do is add another Bose S1 Pro (or more powerful tops). I felt I could grow my micro-PA set up with the KS112 much easier. Thanks!

Hi thanks! Yes only 1 Bose for this set. I recently added a second Bose S1 Pro, which I point in opposite directions. It sounds so nice in person. Check out some other videos where you can catch a glimpse of that set up. At some point I will do a video to show my full set up. Stay tuned!

More videos with Bose 1 Pro. Thanks

Thanks for watching and the like Shyam !

Hola hola! Hi, Tía Mercy! Thanks for reaching out!

Hi. I used an iPhone power/headphone dongle plugged into a 1/16 stereo to male xlr cable into the sub input. Then all xlr’s from.

@@eduardoborjas9284 Thank you, it sounded great.

Agreed about the mixer. It’s next on my list but with this set up I’m functional and can set up & tear down quickly.

Thank you much!

@@eduardoborjas9284 You're welcome! We sent you an email and DM.

Thanks!

Thanks! I ran your signal flow suggestion on my outdoor test, and I agree that it sounded cleaner on both the sub and the Bose. I also used a high pass filter to pass 100 Hz and higher to the Bose for my test. Would love to eventually get another Bose S1 Pro for stereo, but gotta save my $$.

Yes. I watched it. LOLand you will love the addition of the second one.

@@maxxleonard9399 sorry for the slow response. I would definitely try it in stereo. The second one definitely makes it better so you have headway if you need a little more at times. I am just getting in to djing and I am going to run 4 s1pros and 2suds for clean clear sound and have plenty of coverage and power. I wish I could help you more but I am still learning. But I think you headed in the right direction.

I have the same 2x S1Pros and Sub1. What are your settings on the Sub1 volume? Line in EQ - LPF or L1?

@@WWeiss-nv5vz sorry for the slow response L1.

Yes I had forgotten how good the amp sounds!
