Bose F1 Powered Subwoofer

The F1Sub is in the middle, with XLRs leading to separate stereo channels for the S1Pros on either side. With a $2500 budget, this was the best setup I could come up with. I give it a ding-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong out of a Mac, which, according to them, is usually playing Spotify in high quality/360hz. I also have a "Belkin 8-in-1" wireless router. I purchased the "Outlet Conserve Switch Surge Protector, 4ft Cord, and Remote" so that I could turn off and on the power from a distance. I don't have any S1Ps on that power switched circuit because they'd just turn on the battery. It's only the F1. br>br>This unit destroys large "thumper" bass modules that are 4'x5'x210lbs. In my situation (a large room at the office), I could never use that much power. I tried a few and got tired of wearing out the [very nice] guys at Guitar Center by lugging over this and that demo unit, each weighing in at 200 pounds. When this one entered the room, however, I immediately noticed a fantastic crossover. It's also a matter of size. br>br>Larger units appear to have a 30-pound carrying capacity. Only at 80 Hz. And boy, do they do a fantastic job with it. But keep in mind: The S1Pros can only carry a small amount of bass. They're fantastic on the mid-range and even better on the high-range. They're also extremely practical. But a 6" woofer, even two of them, can only do so much. So, in a bass void system, how do you fill out the bass? This one, the F1-type, is a little bit different. Sub. Before you start laughing, I realize this is way too much furniture for a 20x40 room, but hey. I can adjust it separately from the other two boxes and turn it down at any time. I can also send ALL frequencies to the S1Ps via a switch in the back, but this frequently results in the S1Ps producing a lot of bass buzzing, which they are known for (and which Bose has ignored). As a result, I usually limit them to the F1's band pass filter, and the difference can be heard at times. The S1ps rattle if I turn off the band pass filter, as previously stated, but I've figured out which tunes cause this. Modern recording methods are becoming instantly recognizable as being more accurate to begin with and capable of delivering quality bass to the end listener. Simply lower the volume for that song. Done. br>br>Now for the thumping: this unit will thump your heart out and have the cops over in a lickety-split. split. If that's what you want. But the refined and broad bass that you get at lower volumes makes it all worthwhile. The thump will be heard and felt without disturbing the rest of the neighborhood. You'll hear low-end bass, mid-bass (35 hz), high-bass (50 mhz), and, as far as I can tell, it'll eventually clip around 200 hz. By then, the load for real mids has been taken over by the others. highs. My point is that you don't have to mount this unit against a wall. Volumes must be cracked in order to obtain accuracy. They'll do EXCELLENT work in low-light situations. Also in the mid-volume range. What could be more perfect? br>br> I was debating whether or not to use an F1-. 812 on top of it to just do the mids and highs in the center channel, everything else stays the same. I'm only looking for smoother mids and highs, not necessarily more noise or volume. I'm a little worried about the 12s in that unit interfering with the two 10s in the F1Sub. Any gurus/SMEs out there have any thoughts on this? please? br>br>After much trial and error, I've finally discovered the best bass unit for a fantastic stereo system that I have yet to hear better. Even with $50,000, there's no way. 00 for one-of-a-kind stereo units Venues/Professional? This setup could easily feed 100 people, but anything more than that would necessitate the use of something like the 812 (shown above). It's worth noting that the S1Pros are the bottleneck, rather than the F1Sub. When I turned it on when no one was looking, two photos literally fell off the wall. And the only distorted sound I heard was the rattling of my brain. Two of these, in my opinion, would meet the needs of any professional. Professionals call and ask if they can borrow my system for a wedding/Saturday night gig, etc. It's always a no. Best of luck! br>br>By the way - Bose's tech, sales, and customer support are all non-existent. existent.

It's impossible to beat the sound quality. I used it for a small gig at a party, and it was very easy to transport and portable for all of my needs. Highly recommended; it is a little on the pricey side, but you will not be disappointed. With quality, you can't go wrong!.

Produces bass that is comparable to a much larger subwoofer. It's highly suggested!.

I bought two of these to go with two Yamaha DXR 15" speakers that I already had. THEY ARE UNABLE TO KEEP UP.
When the limit light is turned up at 40%, the limit light comes up and comes up and comes up and comes up and% One of the F1 Subs reaches the limit approximately 2010 percent20faster than the other. I'm not sure what causes this. br>When I connect one F1 sub to my JBL EON 208 P system, it works reasonably well; however, when I connect the Yamaha DXS 15" sub to the same JBL, it performs significantly better. To sum up, I suppose the benefit is portability, but there are trade-offs. I'm still perplexed as to why one F1 reaches its limit ahead of the other.

Incredible low-cost options.

It's extremely accurate when used as intended. No matter how high the volume is turned up, I can't get the "limit" led to turn on. The extra cost was well worth it.

The deep base is incredible, and it's well worth the money.
