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.

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.

Unique Bose(R) 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… read more PA systems.

Convenience to go

The three components of the L1 Model 1S system -- upper array, 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.

Two Bose B1 Bass Modules Included: Deep Bass from Small Enclosures

The B1 bass module is Bose's more portable bass option. It is considerably lighter and smaller than conventional bass bins required for the same performance. And it ensures more accurate amplification of lower notes for most voices and instruments. Integrated power amplifiers in the power stand provide clean, precise amplification for L1 Model 1S system with up to two B1 bass modules or one B2 bass module.

The Bose B1 bass module's highly efficient speaker design delivers deep, strong bass from a small enclosure. This highly efficient speaker design features two 5.25" (13.3 cm), high-output, high-excursion drivers that produce deep, strong bass. When connected to your Bose L1 system's power stand, active equalization circuitry automatically adjusts bass signal appropriately.

The B1 bass module's compact, lightweight 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 feet let you securely stack up to four modules together on their sides.

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.
