All products by Bose Other Speaker Systems by Bose

Unique, all-in-one system delivers clear, powerful sound across the stage and throughout small to medium-sized venues. Hear what your audience hears, and eliminate conventional monitors, mixers and PA systems.

Based on over 10 years of groundbreaking research, the L1 Model I concert sound system features Spatial Dispersion loudspeaker technology, available only from Bose. The loudspeaker's proprietary, vertical design helps fill the room with clear sound like no ordinary concert speaker can.

• Projects clean, detailed sound evenly across the stage and throughout an audience of up to several hundred, with little change in tone or volume
• Produces smooth, consistent tone, whether you're in front of the loudspeaker or off to the side
• Reduces much unwanted room reverberation
• Eliminates conventional monitors, mixers and PA
• Sets up and breaks down quickly; fits easily into a car trunk

The innovative L1 Model I Cylindrical Radiator® loudspeaker has a line array of 24 small drivers mounted into a vertical enclosure for wide, horizontal sound coverage of nearly 180 degrees. In comparison to conventional stage speakers, volume and tone diminish very slowly over distance.

The loudspeaker's wedge-shaped dispersion pattern sends very little audio up or down, preventing much of the room reverberation that can muddy your sound.

Unlike traditional amplification setups, a Bose® L1 system lets you, your fellow musicians and the audience hear the same sound. You don't need any other stage monitors, mixers or PA speakers. Your L1 system replaces them all with one sleek, powerful setup.

The Bose L1 Model I power stand includes built-in amplifiers to drive the loudspeaker and up to two B1 bass modules. It also has an integrated four-channel mixer with two XLR and two line-level inputs.

Onboard ToneMatch presets—another Bose exclusive—let you quickly optimize the tone of up to 100 specific instruments and microphones at the touch of a button. For more inputs and a suite of effects and tone-shaping tools, add the optional T1 ToneMatch audio engine.

B1 bass modules are considerably lighter and smaller than traditional bass bins required for the same performance. The L1 Model I basic package comes without a bass module and is recommended for higher range voices and instruments.

The L1 Model I single bass package is recommended for midrange voices and instruments, including acoustic guitars, keyboards and horns. The double bass package is designed for DJs and bass/baritone instruments like electric bass, organ and kick drum. It produces the same tone as the single bass package, but with much higher output levels. You can add up to two more bass modules to your system with the optional Packlite® extended bass package.

Single and double bass packages can also be used in conjunction with backline electric guitar amplifiers.

L1 Model I system components are noticeably lightweight and portable, fitting easily into the trunk of a small car. And setup and breakdown take just minutes.

• Four-channel mixer provides two mic/line input channels (1 and 2) that accept XLR and 1/4" TRS connections; they feature ultra-low noise preamps, two-stage clip lights, trim controls and XLR line-out channels. Secondary input channels (3 and 4) accept 1/4" unbalanced line-level sources.
• Bose ToneMatch presets quickly optimize the tone of instruments and mics
