Bose L1 Model 1S with B2 Bass Module

No longer available at zZounds
Power meets portability with the Bose L1 Model 1S loudspeaker system and B2 bass module, with consistent 180-degree coverage for an audience of up to 300.

Spend less time setting up your gear and more time enjoying it. The Bose L1 Model 1S Single B2 bass system delivers a potent combination of portability and performance. It's compact and light enough to make setup quick and easy, yet powerful enough to fill a mid-sized venue. Includes one B2 bass module for more flexibility and even greater power at the low end.

Put your PA behind you

The vertical configuration of the system's small, closely spaced drivers allows the L1 Model 1S system to project sound forward and to the sides -- delivering 180-degree coverage -- but very little up and down, reducing unwanted reverberation. This produces consistent tonal balance as sound spreads more evenly across the stage and into the audience, and the volume level drops off much more slowly than with a conventional speaker.

Unique Bose technologies enable the system to serve as both PA and monitor. It can be positioned behind or to the side of the performer -- and you hear just what the audience hears. You're in control, and there's no need for conventional monitors, mixers and PA systems.

Spatial Dispersion and Articulated Array speaker technologies in the loudspeaker produce wide, uniform sound coverage. The 12 small drivers are arranged using Articulated Array speaker technology in a slim, vertical enclosure -- creating nearly 180 degrees of horizontal coverage and consistent tonal balance.

Convenience to go

The three components of the L1 Model 1S system -- upper array, read more lower extension and power stand -- connect quickly and easily without the need for separate speaker stands. Setup and breakdown take just minutes. And everything stores neatly into the included carry bags, making transport easy, too.

B2 Bass Module: Full, flexible bass

The B2 bass module's highly efficient speaker design features two 10" (13.3 cm), high-output, high-excursion drivers that produce deep, strong bass from a small enclosure. Three level settings provide flexibility of output. When connected to your L1 system's power stand, active equalization circuitry automatically adjusts bass signal appropriately. The compact enclosure is easy to transport, set up and break down, with a small footprint that takes up considerably less space than traditional bass cabs required for same performance. Interlocking end caps let you securely stack two modules together on their sides.

The high-performance B2 bass module includes three settings for increased flexibility. The normal setting is ideal for bass guitar or when miking a kick drum. A higher setting is designed for DJ/music playback applications. And the lower setting works well for acoustic guitar and vocals.

Multichannel flexibility

Add an optional Bose ToneMatch mixer to expand the system with more input channels and connect additional instruments and microphones. ToneMatch mixers also give you powerful, proprietary tone-shaping tools to fine-tune your sound.

- Convenient carry bags -- one each for the loudspeaker, power stand and bass module -- make getting to and from your gig that much easier.

I've been a DJ for about 15 years now...and the sounds are the heart of the performance as far as I am concerned. People always think the lights are what matters, or the hardware like turntables that make the DJ show amazing. I'm here to tell you, it's the sounds! This Bose product is the best speaker system I have ever purchased. From going from heavy 15" speakers to these is a huge change. They are so compact, easy to transport and loud as hell. They connect to almost anything as long as it has a 1/4" plug. I just had to get another one! I have a small Honda Civic, and I fit 2 of these systems comfortably. Every gig I get amazes people. "Is all that sound coming from that speaker?", they ask. And I answer with a big smile and say, "YES!" I LOVE IT!!
