Dumb live sound question
OK, so I have always either used a power amp mixer with mains and a monitor, or a kind of stick PA that also works as a monitor.
I have been away from playing live for about 5 years and have been re-acquiring PA equipment. On a recommendation I purchased a Bose S1 (two channels only) and I really like it. What I don't like, however, is not having line volume controls readily accessible. My plan was to add a VoiceSolo FX150 as a mic stand mounted monitor and pass the main mix over to the Bose. For some reason in my mind I was thinking that I could control line levels directly from the FX150, and I am pretty sure that is not possible. I also considered using something like a Fishman Loudbox in much the same way (with the added benefit of having another small PA option.) Is my only option to place a mixer in before the Bose? I also wanted to use a BeatBuddy pedal, and after speaking to those guys, I don't want it in the effects chain in front of the DI, so using the effects send and return on the amp would be a good solution. The other option would be a Fishman SA 330x with the expander unit, but that is significantly larger than the Bose and a lot more to carry around. So, dumb question, but hopefully good answers....

Not a dumb question at all. Personally, I’d get a small format mixer like the Allen & Heath Zed10FX and run it into the Bose. Analog knobs for quick adjustments with the added benefit of mid sweeps on th efour XLR channels.
It’s more gear, but I’d rather have what I need to make quick adjustments for a good sound. I haul around quite a bit for my solo show, but it sounds killer. (I’m not suggesting you do that though!) I built my entire system into two flight cases that sets up in 7 minutes. You can search my other posts and see. It’s manageable with one person via a folding rock n roller cart. Good luck with your setup! Last edited by The Kid!; 07-31-2018 at 07:44 AM.

The Kid is right. Get an analog Allen and Heath or a Soundcraft mixer with 4 or 5 XLR connectors and you'll be golden.

I have a small mackie board that i run into
a Sunburst gear m6br8. which is a bit heavier battery powered speaker. Like the bose the adjustments are on the speaker and not really conducive to changes so i do an initial set it and forget it then adjust mix and eq from the board. Best way to go imho.
