== ToneMatch® Presets ==
On Channels 1 and 2 you can select a ToneMatch® Preset.

{{Compact}} equivalent: Channel 2, Guitar (switch position up)

===Microphone===
:Category: Vocal Mics
:Preset: Handheld Mics
{{Compact}} equivalent: Channel 1

:The Microphone Preset includes a sharp low-cut filter, keeping only that part of the audio spectrum where the microphone is useful. Using the microphone with this preset minimizes bass regeneration. The microphone preset was developed for close microphone use (“eat the mic”), which is the best way to optimize your vocal signal for tone and gain before feedback<ref>[[Presets 1.0|Original description of how the Microphone Presets work]]</ref>.

:About the presets: No mic that I know of sounds good for close vocal, even for recording for that matter. All our presets compensate for this. A lot of these mics sound a lot more natural when you back off a foot or so from them. Of course, this is true in the studio too. No one does this for a live performance (backs very far off the mic) since you want to maximize gain before feedback by eating the mic. And so then you get funny sound and so then you need our presets to make it natural. <ref>[[Presets/Model_I_and_Classic#Cliff-at-Bose|Cliff Henricksen talks about Microphone Presets]]</ref>

== Reverb ==

The reverb in the {{S1 Pro}} was engineered to be a useful general-purpose tool for a solo performer in venues suitable for up to 50 people.  The Reverb control on the {{S1 Pro}} is roughly analogous to the Mix parameter on the {{T1}} and {{ToneMatch Mixers}}. 

There is no direct mapping of the {{S1 Pro}} Reverb to the {{T1}} or {{ToneMatch Mixers}}.

You can get roughly similar results

;{{T1}}  
* Type Medium
* Time 4.00 msec 
* Balance 100%
* Mix, Bright - set by ear

;{{ToneMatch Mixers}}  
* Type Medium
* Time 100% 
* Balance 100% 
* Mix, Bright - set by ear

OR

* Type Large
* Time 70% 
* Balance 70%
* Mix, Bright - set by ear

== Power Switch==
<section begin=PowerSwitch />[[File:S1 Pro Power Closeup.jpg|400px|right]] 
;In Use
:Set the power switch to the top position (on).

;Standby
:When you are not using the {{S1}} you can leave the power switch in the standby position (middle) or the quick-charge position (bottom). <br>If the {{S1}} is not connected to AC power, it won't matter if you choose the middle or bottom position.<br>

;In Transit
:You can put the {{S1}} power switch in the bottom position (quick charge) position when transporting the unit. This may reduce the likelihood the switch will get bumped to the on position.

;Charging
:When you are charging the {{S1}} you can put the power switch in the standby position (middle) or the quick-charge position (bottom).

<html></details></html>

== Noisy Volume Controls ==
On {{S1 nl}} channels 1 and 2: When you rotate the volume controls back and forth within 10 seconds of turning on the unit, you may hear a scratchy sound.

This is not a symptom of a hardware issue with the volume controls that warrants concern.

The noise is related to a start-up process within the unit, not the volume controls. The noise you hear is not the result of a physical problem with the volume controls.

When you turn on the unit and rapidly turn one of the volume controls back and forth you may hear a noise. This can happen on either channel, 1 or 2.

After several seconds, the sound stops.  At this point, the volume controls on both channels 1 and 2 should work as expected, quietly.

If you cycle the power off and back on, you can get the same result on the other channel, 1 or 2.

If you turn on the unit and let it sit for 20 seconds, the volume controls are quiet.  That doesn't mean you have to wait for 20 seconds before you can use the unit. You just have to wait for 20 seconds if you don't want to hear the noise when you rotate the volume controls quickly.

<!--
On {{S1 nl}} channels 1 and 2: When you rotate the volume controls back and forth within 10 seconds of turning on the unit, you may hear a scratchy sound. This does not indicate a fault. The noise should stop happening once the {{S1 nl}} has completed its internal start-up routine (5-10 seconds).

=== Version ===
The S1 Pro system supports Bluetooth version 4.2

=== Bluetooth Light ===
* Fast blink - attempting to re-connect with previously paired devices
* Slow blink - in pairing mode
* Solid - connected
* No active connection (must put in pairing mode to create a connection)  
** No devices in the {{S1 Pro}} device list

===Bluetooth Pairing===
#	Turn on the Bluetooth feature on your mobile device.<br>Note: The Bluetooth feature is usually found in the Settings menu.
#	Press and hold the Bluetooth Pair button for two seconds.<br>Note: When ready to pair, the Bluetooth button will flash white.
#	Select your Bose® SI Pro system from the device list.

Note: When the device pairs successfully,  the Bluetooth button will turn solid white.

Note: If your paired phone receives a call, any music playing will be paused and the ring will come through the phone: no calls or notifications will come through the SI Pro.

Once you have paired the {{S1 nl}} to a Bluetooth device, the {{S1 nl}} will automatically connect to that device when you turn on the {{S1 nl}} if it is powered on and within range. If you want to terminate that connection, terminate the connection on the Bluetooth device.

==== Clear the Bluetooth Pairing List ====
# Press and hold the Bluetooth button.  until it goes dark (about 7-10 seconds).
# On your Bluetooth device, remove the Bose S1 Pro from the device list.


You are now ready to [[{{PAGENAME}}#Bluetooth Pairing|pair the S1 Pro to a Bluetooth device]].

=== Turn off Bluetooth ===
You cannot turn off Bluetooth however if you clear the Bluetooth device list, you won't be able to connect to the {{S1 Pro}} until you create a new paired connection.

:If you press and hold the Bluetooth button until it goes dark (7-10 seconds), this clears the Bluetooth device list on the {{S1 Pro)}.  You will not be able to connect to the {{S1 Pro}} unless you put it into pairing mode (press and hold the Bluetooth button until it blinks (approximately 3 seconds) or put the {{S1 Pro}} in Standby mode (power switch middle position) or Fast Charge (power switch in lower position) and then turn the {{S1 Pro}} on again.

<!--
You cannot turn off Bluetooth however, Bluetooth will turn off after about two minutes after you turn the power on unless the S1 Pro successfully connects to a Bluetooth device.
-->

When you turn on the power on the S1 Pro, it will attempt to connect to a paired device via Bluetooth. If there are no paired device, it will go into pairing mode.

If the S1 Pro cannot connect to a paired device, the Bluetooth light will blink for about two minutes while it is attempting to connect. If it doesn't make a connection, the Bluetooth light will turn off (time out). At that point, the Bluetooth is off until the next time you turn the power off/on.

==== Disconnect a Bluetooth connection ====
If you have Bluetooth connection active and you want to disconnect it. If you manually disconnect, the {{S1 nl}} will time out after about 2 minutes, and Bluetooth will remain off until the next time you power off/on.

; IOS 
Starting with iOS 9, Apple has added a new option for Bluetooth devices: 
*Open Settings, select Bluetooth
*Tap the "i" circle button to the right of the accessory. 
*From there, you can see the new "Disconnect" option, alongside the legacy "Forget This Device" choice.

;Android
Disconnect or Unpair from a Bluetooth Device
*    From home, tap Apps > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth.
*    Tap the ON/OFF slider to turn Bluetooth on.
*    Tap the connected device, and then tap OK to disconnect.

==== Reconnect a Bluetooth Connection after a time out ====
If the S1 Pro system Bluetooth light is off (because it has timed out), if you press it briefly, it will blink.

With the Bluetooth light blinking, I've been able to initiate a Bluetooth connection from a previously paired device. This worked with:

*An IOS 11.4 device
*An Android 7.0 device
*A Windows 10 device

== {{S1}} Bass Distortion with Bluetooth through Channel 3 ==
; There have been some discussions in the Bose Portable PA Community about bass distortion with Bluetooth sources through Channel 3. Will Bose issue a firmware update to fix this?
:If you hear bass distortion you're hitting the maximum volume (bass) the S1 Pro system can handle. We tested the S1 Pro system with a wide range of applications including live music, music playback with various styles of music, public speaking, and more. We tuned the bass response for the best overall performance for the widest number of people.  We continue to listen to customer comments here and through all channels. We know that most of our customers are extremely happy with the sound of the S1 Pro system. <br>If you need more overall volume for music playback you need a bigger enclosure. The L1 Compact and the larger L1 systems may be a better choice.

Related discussion [https://www.bosepro.community/g/portable/topic/bass-over-excursion-or-port-noise-turn-down-for-what S1 Pro channel 3 bass over excursion]

Consider using an app to control the sound at the source. For example [https://www.bosepro.community/g/portable/topic/using-the-spotify-equalizer-with-your-s1-pro-systems Using the Spotify Equalizer with your S1 Pro system]    

We have explored ways to change the response in the low frequencies. We found making the S1 Pro system more tolerant of heavy bass diminishes the overall performance in other ways.  We don't have plans to change the sound profile of the S1 Pro system through a firmware update.

== S1 Pro with Sub1 or Sub2==
{{Sub with S1Pro}}

== S1 Pro with F1 Subwoofer ==
; Can I use one or two {{S1}}s with an F1 Subwoofer?
:Yes. Please see this discussion in the Bose Portable PA Community [https://www.bosepro.community/g/portable/topic/s1-pros-as-front-of-house-with-f1-subwoofer S1 Pros with F1 Subwoofer]
