Hi everyone,
I'm not a musician and I'm not into djing.
Since the price is almost equal, I would like to recive comments about comparison between having one F1 model 812 or two S1 pro. Which choice would be better overall? Thanks.

The S1 Pro and F1 Model 812 systems were engineered for different applications. Please tell us how you will be using your new sound system so we can reply to your question.
Thank you,

It would be for personal home use both indoor and outdoor. Thus, I would use it through aux or bluetooth. I have a quite large garden that can host more than 200 persons and, especially during summer, I usually have parties of such crowd.
Thanks,

It would be for personal domestic use and I would use it through bluetooth (buying the bose soundtouch wireless link for the F1, eventually) or aux.

It sounds like you have lovely garden parties. How large is the area where you have 200 persons. Can you tell us the dimensions?
The F1 Model 812 is much louder than two S1 Pro systems. Depending on the dimensions of the area you want to cover, you might use one F1 Model 812 or two S1 Pro systems. However, you may have to turn up the F1 Model 812 to an uncomfortably loud volume (up close) to reach the whole area. The S1 Pro systems won't be as loud but you can space them out. This is why I have asked about the dimensions.
Kind of Music / Purpose
Will you be playing the music to provide a pleasant background environment or will the music be the main focus of the party.
For background music the S1 Pro systems might be fine. The F1 Model 812 has much deeper/louder bass response, but you probably don't need that for background music.
Please tell us the dimensions of the space and the role of the music in your events.
Thank you,

The garden area is around 100/90 * 50 meters.
Usually music is the party core. We listen to RnB, house, electro and techno music, mainly.

The S1 Pro systems are probably not loud enough for a space this large and for this kind of music.
For your application I would use two F1 Model 812 systems. You may want to use F1 Subwoofers as well. Place them along the long dimension at 33 meters from either end, facing the 50 meter dimension.

You'd be much better off spending the same amount on a 'conventional' rig from one of the major brands with a sub and a couple of tops (Yamaha DXR 12 tops and DXS 18 sub would be my recommendation) You really need a bog sub for that kind of music.
Hola gioanin.
Te cuento mi experiencia con 2 S1 Pro 1 F1 Sub. El sonido es muy bueno y el F1 Sub aporta los graves que puedan faltarle a los 2 S1 Pro. C9n respecto a la cantidad de personas, 200 son muchas para un sistema de 2 S1 Pro mas 1 F1 Sub, pero si es suficiente para 100 personas que son las que van a estar mas próxima a el sistema. De esta forma en la pista de baile el sonido va a ser claro y potente y mas alejado del sistema fuera de la pista de baile el sonido va a ser muy claro y agradable. El que quiera un sonido mas fuerte se va a acercar a la pista y las personas que quieran charlar pero seguir disfrutando de la música se van a alejar del sistema. Saludos
