Hi guys!

Anyone using BOSE S1 Pro??

I have a problem with mine and are wondering if anyone else has experienced the same problem.

The volume of the aux-input is´nt even and smooth. Volume increases in steps with short interruption!

Good video. Sorry to say, it looks like that's the way it was designed: a digital rotary that produces the staircase function you're hearing.

The good news is that it shouldn't be a problem in practice. Usually, you set and forget your PA level, and use either instrument gain or a volume pedal to make adjustments as you play. Both of which should be 100% linear.

Are the other volumes smooth? If so maybe you have a faulty or dirty pot.

Hi!

Thanks for responding!

The unit is brand new out of the box. AND it´s nr.2 with exakt the same problem. I had the first exchanged for this one.

The other volumes works fine!

I can use the unit as it is now but I think a Pro BOSE product should have better volumepots than that......
