Bose S1 Pro Balanced Input

[meredithsdg]

Looking for clarity - Will the S1 Pro accept balanced input on channels 1 and/or 2 from a mixer?

 

Page 7 of the manual says "SIGNAL INPUT – Analog input for connecting microphone (XLR) and instrument (TS unbalanced) cables."

 

But the online wiki says:

 

Recommended Connections

• XLR:
  • Microphones
  • Microphone-level signals
• 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Balanced input (Tip-Ring-Sleeve): Balanced line-level signals
  • T4S/T8S ToneMatch® Mixers or T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine
  • Third-party mixer line-level output
  • Another S1 Pro Line Output when daisy chaining S1 Pro systems
• 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Unbalanced input (Tip-Sleeve): Instruments
  • Guitars
  • Keyboards
  • Guitar processors

 

Thanks!

Based on my experience (and I'm sure others here have had the same experience), the S1 will accept both balanced (TRS) and unbalanced (TS) 1/4" input, from a mixer.

 

I think it's been pointed out on this forum that some signal depreciation is expected when using a TS.

 

In short, both will work.

 

HTH.

Thanks! I haven't experienced any noticeable signal degradation with TS input. I have a mixer that I haven't used with my S1 Pros because I didn't think it would handle. TRS. This is a big help.
