PA gear
Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2025 12:13 pm
I use a Bose S1Pro and the new Plus model with the wireless units for small acoustic gigs for mic and acoustics with pickups.
Here is a great comparison of the 2 units head to head

For larger or electric gigs I use a Bose L1 Pro 16 or an 8 or both just for vocals. I still use the S1 units in the same fashion and just run the line out to the tower units as needed for coverage and throw. I have TS8 Bose mixer to add 10 more channels.
I find using 2 S1s and the Pro8 is the perfect stage monitor system for my bands. We still use it even when we get a sound engineer and true front of house. This way the band has a consistent stage sound that’s not to loud but clear and consistent.
What PA gear do you guys use? I’m especially interested in what you run the drums into. On the rare occasion I need to mic the kit; I use a Yamaha EAD into the Pro16; but mostly it’s just vocals with guys using separate amps like music man, fender, mesa boogie, and the like.
What are you guys using for your own PA?
