Hi,
I am doing outdoors concerts within may own property and already have 1 s1 pro. I have ordered a second one and am using my MacBook pro connected to the S1 pro to play my backing tracks with a Sennheiser Dynamic Mic plugged in. Will I be able to play through both speakers simultaneously without using the Connect app? I will be using my iPhone to stream on Facebook...
I do have another phone, but I am not a Apple Music subscriber. Do I have to be using the Connect app to use both speakers?
You won't have to use the Connect app (in fact, that's probably not preferable for your use). You can daisy chain two S1 Pros together.
Alternatively, you can connect your MacBook Pro to a mixer and run a cable to each S1 Pro.
Thank you. i got the impression from looking at the Bose guidelines that I should use an 1/8" to 1/4" putting the 1/4 not the output and 1/8 into the Line in. Will this work? I have the second speaker coming tomorrow.
Hi, singingsnapper,
Welcome to the Bose Portable PA Community.
Here is the full article that goes with the image Michael M gave you.

To get the Sennheiser Dynamic Mic AND the MacBook Pro to come out of both S1 Pro systems, keep your connections to the first S1 Pro as you are doing now.
Then follow the notes in this article S1 Pro Daisy Chain Settings to connect the first S1 Pro to the second S1 Pro.

As Michael M said, you don't need the Bose Connect app for your application. It won't work to do what you want.

No, the only place to use a 1/8" cable is from the MacBook Pro to the first S1 Pro.
I have the second speaker coming tomorrow.
That's exciting.

So basically I should put a 1/4" into one of the 2 inputs from the output on the primary speaker? Sorry if I'm being stupid!

Basically yes, and please follow the notes in this article S1 Pro Daisy Chain Settings for all the details.

If your tracks are recorded in stereo and you'd like to play them back into the 2 S1s as stereo, use a 3.5mm TRS Stereo Y-Adapter Cable such as this one and 2 XLR-XLR (or TRS 1/4") cables from the output of the computer to the inputs on the 2 S1 Pros.
(Try to get from someone other than Bezos though)...
The two inputs are designed for 1/4" as well as XLR aren't they?
Hi singingsnapper,

Yes, they are. I prefer to use the 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) inputs for line-level sources like the MacBook Pro.
If you want the microphone to be heard through both S1 Pro systems, you won't be able to run the tracks in stereo as Chet described above. Here's why.
Since you can't maintain the stereo image if you want to hear the microphone through both S1 Pro systems, it's simpler to connect the MacBook Pro and microphone to S1 Pro #1 and then connect S1 Pro #1 to S1 Pro #2.
The other approach is to connect the microphone and the MacBook Pro to a stereo mixer. Pan the microphone up the middle. Pan the MacBook Pro channels hard left and hard right.
Then connect the mixer Left output to one S1 Pro and the Right output to the other S1 Pro.

RATS.... 
As usual, it's best to have a nice, clean mixer around...
