Glad to see he;s Playing IN STEREO !

Thanx for sharing..

Sounds pretty incredible.

Gary

Yup

And here it is with the room filled, 40% volume. Yes, sounds good.

First i have to say, wrong music for that crowd. LOL ! Maybe he's just trying to convince himself that he could do dance music in a large room. Doesn't sound like it to me.
I just don't see anything so amazing for $1200. And whats the big deal about battery power. I'm sure every venue this guy DJs in has plugs.
As in the other threat about this, so many other choices for less money that would do a better job.
Good system for a street busker with a guitar but beyond that not so much.
But if your in love with the BOSE name go for it and enjoy.

This guy is a BOSE dealer also..

That explains a lot. I can't imagine any serious DJ going for a system like that. Maybe one for outdoor Ceremonies or Cocktail hours, but the real party rig is going to be something with more sound.

The few DJs and KJs that I know, personally, use the Bose PAS system and the L1 Mod II system. They stopped using conventional speakers when they first heard the Bose L1 PAS. And, now they no longer use CDs - they're all using PCs or tablets to store their music.

All the best,

Gary

I've seen a few DJs using the larger Bose Systems and your correct, no more CDs. They were also using multiple Bose bass bins to fill out the sound Big $$$
This smal Bose monitor is designed for other situations I think

Having heard one, Bill, I agree. It would be just fine for living room parties and very small NH or restaurant audiences, but nothing larger. Far better, economically, to purchase a couple Maui 5s. For me, personally, I preferred the sound of a pair of L1 Compacts, but this is a very subjective thing.

All the best,

Gary

LD Systems makes some incredible sound systems for sure give Frank a Call at Audioworks.com for great deals..

One of the best really lightweight stereo solutions in this situation would be the Nano 300 /302 again. Or, with a little less bass, the JBL Eon 206p. Both around 10-11 kilograms in stereo.

I have used many Nano systems 300,600,.....nice sound BUT too much time to set up & take down gig after gig with poles, wires, covers, etc, etc, sold them all..

On my last trip to Europe I had the chance to try all line array systems side by side in a large music store.
First of: wow! Much bigger than guitar center.
They literally had everything: all arrangers, synths, pianos etc.
I wanted to mainly hear the Maui28G2...
First up was Bose L1 compact.
AS expected sounded great.
Second up was JBL EON1. Sounded great too.
Next was Maui5. It was disappointing to me.My guess was it needed to be EQ'ed correctly.
Next up BoseL1 model II. It lacked a bit mids and warmth which I am used to from my Bose Compact.
Next up was the Maui 28G2.
Wow. It had everything I was looking for: clear highs great mids and enough oomph in the sub for a dance without being overpowered.
Only almost a third of the price of the big Bose.
Don't get me wrong. I am a big Bose fan. However the Maui convinced me.
I already talked to Frank and will get it sometime in the near future
Well worth the money in every way.

Eric you cant go wrong with LD system speakers no matter which series you choose I love the Maui 5s for small things and the Maui 28's for all else ...they sound amazing!!

However, Bose seems to have hit it. On Thomann.de, there are already three customer reviews with 5/5 stars each. The two German-language text reviews sound very promising, one of them from a DJ who has used a single S1 Pro for a wedding DJ job (probably rather small, but nevertheless).
If I didn't care about $1,200 more or less, I would definitely give a pair of them a try. But I do care...

I use Maui 11's for everything except outdoor gigs..

At the restaurant I played last Saturday, the regular player (keys/sax/flute - been there over 10 years) uses the BOSE L1 - I believe model 2, I know it's not the compact ... I've used it in the past and thought it sounded good, and the line array seems perfect for this room because it is over 100 feet long and about 50 feet wide ... one time I sat in for him, he needed to use the BOSE on another gig and I used my Podium 10s ... the staff commented to him that my sound was better with my PA system ... this past Saturday as I was packing up, a staff member passed by, told me I did a great job and commented that the sound was great ...
Maybe the BOSE wasn't EQ'd right for me, or MAYBE they are just not for everyone ...

In my signature, there are four PA speakers...all different brands...all sound very good.

Only one of them weighs 15lbs and is about the size of a keyboard monitor. The rest are pushing 40 lbs and are a bit more of a challenge to handle and carry.

I’m surprised that this guy was able to use the S1 pair in such a large situation. I bought mine to use as a monitor and for small settings. Also, weight wise, im hoping to avoid another hip replacement. 😊
