The reverb in the {{S1 Pro}} was engineered to be a useful general-purpose tool for a solo performer in venues suitable for up to 50 people. The Reverb control on the {{S1 Pro}} is roughly ~~analagous~~ to the Mix parameter on the {{T1}} and {{ToneMatch Mixers}}.

== 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.

== Auto EQ ==

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>

~~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).

~~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.~~

~~⇒ Using the speaker stand position as a reference (basically, flat):~~

~~⇒ Table top: a little less bass than speaker stand~~

~~[[File:~~Auto EQ ~~Table.png|640px]]~~

~~⇒ Tilt-back: a little less bass than Table top.~~

~~[[File:Auto EQ Tilt Back.png|640px]]~~

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

=== Turn off Bluetooth ===

You cannot turn off Bluetooth however if you clear the Bluetooth device list, you won't be able to connect to the {{S1 Pro}} until you create a new paired connection.

:If you press and hold the Bluetooth button until it goes dark (7-10 seconds), this clears the Bluetooth device list on the {{S1 Pro)}. You will not be able to connect to the {{S1 Pro}} unless you put it into pairing mode (press and hold the Bluetooth button until it blinks (approximately 3 seconds) or put the {{S1 Pro}} in Standby mode (power switch middle position) or Fast Charge (power switch in lower position) and then turn the {{S1 Pro}} on again.

<!--

You cannot turn off Bluetooth however, Bluetooth will turn off after about two minutes after you turn the power on unless the S1 Pro successfully connects to a Bluetooth device.

-->

When you turn on the power on the S1 Pro, it will attempt to connect to a paired device via Bluetooth. If there are no paired device, it will go into pairing mode.

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.
