Position the S1 Pro on a surface. This projects sound clearly
and evenly throughout the audience, and ensures that
audience members enjoy the full frequency range of the
system.
Speaker Stand
Place one or two S1 Pro systems on speaker stands (sold
separately) for general-purpose sound reinforcement.
Monitor
To use the S1 Pro as a personal floor monitor, place it on
the ground horizontally, in front of and pointing toward the
performer. Tilt the loudspeaker onto its side edge.

For performances where your audience is close to you,
tilt the S1 Pro onto its back edge. For best results, the
performer should stand or sit to one side of the loudspeaker
to avoid blocking sound from the audience.
Note: Rotate the Bose logo counterclockwise
to match your chosen mode.
