== Pole Cup Switch ==
== Pole Cup Switch ==
The S1 Pro uses an accelerometer to determine if it is in the tilt-back, horizontal or vertical position. It also has a switch inside the pole cup to determine if it is mounted on a speaker stand.  Based on the orientation and the switch, the S1 Pro automatically applies the correct EQ. If you depress the switch the speaker stand EQ is applied regardless of the orientation of the S1 Pro.

Here's a picture of the switch inside the pole cup.

=== Warning - Do NOT use Speaker Stands Like This ===
[[File:Ultimate Support TS30.png|100px]]
 
Bose recommends using speaker stands that have solid, smooth surfaces. Do not use stands like the one shown below. It will damage the switch in the pole cup.
 
=== Warning - Do NOT use speaker pole adapters ===
 
Bose recommends that you do NOT use speaker stand adapters like the [http://herculesstands.com/international/products/speaker-lighting/accessories/ss100b/ Hercules SS100B]. You could damage switch in the pole cup.

If you take a loudspeaker and put it on a speaker stand, then a table top, and then on the floor, the sound will change*. When the speaker is on a table top or the floor, it is interacting with the boundaries (table top, floor, walls and ceiling too). This means, if you want great sound in all situations you have to EQ the loudspeaker.
<html>
 
<details><summary>S1 Pro Auto EQ</summary></html>
Bose tuned the S1 Pro to sound great in all four positions (speaker stand, table top, floor (both tilt-back and horizontal)) taking into account the boundaries. And the engineers carefully considered how you would be using the S1 Pro . That's why there are two settings for the floor (tilt-back and monitor).

<html></details></html>
I encourage you not to second-guess the automatic EQ. To use them in ways other than Bose intended you'd have to put the loudspeaker in a free field (a room without reflections).
 
But if you could put the S1 Pro in a free field here's what might hear.
 
&rArr; Using the speaker stand position as a reference (basically, flat):
 
&rArr; Table top: a little less bass than speaker stand

&rArr; Tilt-back: a little less bass than Table top.

&rArr; Horizontal: about the same as Tilt-back except there's some EQ treatment to support use as a monitor.

We have explored ways to change the response in the low frequencies. We found making the S1 Pro system more tolerant of heavy bass diminishes the overall performance in other ways.  We don't have plans to change the sound profile of the S1 Pro system through a firmware update.
