Compact PA Subwoofer Test - Bose Sub1 vs RCF 702 AS II vs Behringer B1200D
This compact PA subwoofer test features the Bose Sub1 versus the RCF 702 AS II versus the Behringer B1200D. I placed a decibel meter one meter away from each sub and measured the SPL level for each sub at clipping. I also monitored the current draw (power in watts) in real time during the test. This not only gives us a good idea of which sub has the strongest power amp, it also helps us determine what size battery pack is needed and how long it can potentially run.
And the winner is.... I won't spoil it for ya - check out the video and see for yourself!
Let me know what you think!

This is an outdoor shootout between three compact powered PA speakers. Which do you prefer? The RCF HD10a, JBL IRX 108BT, or QSC K8.2?

    If Behringer put their 12 in a little bit larger box like the RCF it would perform deeper but they decided to keep it as compact as possible. At the price point the Behringer is a better buy. Personally I wish the cabinet was close to the size of the RCF to get that added lower frequency response.

    Hi BestProAudio, I had an issue yesterday with my Xr 18. I did EQ room sending pink noise from a cellphone through a link stereo channel. I solved my EQ room and after that I turned down the pink noise to play a FLAC song but. The pink noise did not get lost even unplugging the stereo link cable. I restart my XR software, turned off and turned on the XR 18, I load a different scene and the pink noise did not stop. I went to the meter page there was no sign coming into or going out on the XR 18 and the pink noise was there. I check my FX page and nothing, so I had to use an analogue mixer I could not record my concert and we play without monitors because I did not have enough time to set up monitors. It was not the first time that I EQ room. That's why I was lost and did not find the answer. I tried to find this on UA-cam but it seems that nobody has has this issue so far. Thanks if you have an advice. Julio

    Sounds like it was recorded on a smart phone, and all three speakers are making the comp/lim on the smart phone kick in the majority of the time. It’s hard to draw any conclusions from this kind of a comparison. Why not use a 24 bit handheld digital audio recorder or a laptop with DAW software, a good digital audio interface and a matched pair of matched condenser mics?

    • @bestproaudio4255
      @bestproaudio4255 8 місяців тому

      It was recorded with a Sony DSLR and an Azden SMX-30V in stereo mode. I've recorded with dual AKG P170's in X-Y configuration and an Antelope Audio Zen Go - and - my Tascam DR-40x. The Azden's performance is pretty darn good when I've compared to the other methods. It's definitely a much faster setup too. Any distortion you may be hearing is from the speakers. Also, make sure your watching in 1080p for the best audio over video.

    After many attempts to set up the Bose equipment, I must admit that I am satisfied with my sub1 and 2xS1 Pros. First of all, you cannot increase the volume on the speakers too much if you use an external mixer - the bass setting at 1 p.m. is quite sufficient for two Bose S1 Pro. For me the best setting is LINE IN EQ to LPF, and line out EQ to HPF (white). I don't like setting HPF to green, what about you?

    • @bestproaudio4255
      @bestproaudio4255 8 місяців тому

      I agree - I prefer not using the special S1 Pro HPF setting too! Also, the volume setting for the S1 Pro's depends on whether you are using XLR or 1/4" balanced cables. I use XLR and can only increase to maybe 2 or 2.5 on the volume knob without distorting the speaker. If you use 1/4" balanced cables you have to turn the knob to a higher setting to achieve the same volume.

    I just bought a set of 2x s1 pro and 1xsub1 and unfortunately I think it will be difficult to DJ for 50 people. The bass above a certain volume simply knocks as if it had no excursion and there is no bass, only an impact can be heard. Now I don't know whether to buy a second sub1 or replace it with one sub2. If anyone has this set, please try playing the song Katchi by Offenbach and write whether there is any bass knocking at loud levels?

If you set the sub above 12:00 and give a large signal, the bass knocks, knocks... you can hear this metallic impact. The unit simply does not produce strong bass. In my opinion, sub1 is for playing light music (jazz, classical, soul). So I bought a sub2 for dance music.

    I have both Bose Sub 1 and Behringer B1200d. The Sub 1 seems to have a slight audible delay on the low end beat when compared to my Yamaha top boxes . I am very sensitive to this as I use this set up as a backing PA system while I play live music. The Behringer is not as deep, but the bass drum sound hits tightly on time. Is this due to some sound processing lag in the BOSE, or the Behringer's higher efficiency, or maybe the BOSE is trying to move more air at lower frequency, which has more inertia. Feels like a phase alignment that is just a few milliseconds out.
