Challenge
Bose partnered with Loft to create a new class of innovative professional speakers that would shift the paradigm in power amplification. Live performers are always looking for the best way to get their voice heard. Conventional PA systems are characterized by their substantial weight and high volume output, which can limit their versatility. A compact and portable PA system enables them to fine-tune their sound and make necessary adjustments wherever they are practicing.
Solution
Designed for musicians, DJs and performers all around the globe, the S1 Pro is the ultimate all-in-one PA, floor monitor and practice amplifier that’s ready to be your go-anywhere Bluetooth® music system for nearly any occasion. Offering a lightweight, rugged enclosure with a built-in handle, it’s easy to carry and transport just about anywhere. It serves not only as a reliable PA system but also as an adept wedge monitor, a practice amplifier, and a playback system.
Outcome
The S1 enables completely new use cases and locations to perform. Built-in sensors and multiple aiming positions make sure you have optimal sound in nearly any position — on the floor, on a table or even mounted on a speaker stand. The clever design became a instant classic and defined a new class of products. Whether you're traveling for performances, honing your skills at home, or providing music for gatherings, the Bose S1 Pro consistently proves to be a versatility juggernaut.
