Using the wireless channel , music can be played from a mobile device easily using Bluetooth streaming ( great for pre-produced backing tracks or background music ), while getting great sound quickly with integrated ToneMatch ® processing for microphones and instruments . Additionally , users can enjoy hours of play on-the-go with the S1 Pro ’ s optional rechargeable lithium-ion battery ; a special setting and intelligent circuitry offer a choice between trickle charge or dedicated full-power charge .
