Although we covered it at launch, we're taking another look at the L1 series from BOSE Pro. Systems that sound great and make life easier for any kind of mid-size event where we need to amplify our vocals, instruments or signals. Reliable, lightweight, portable systems with a round, crisp and compact sound.
A system that adds technology allowing us to control mixes and signals from our own mobile devices, even while walking around the room.
All in one. Performance and portability
From the vehicle to the stage without hassle, with a modular system that saves space, makes transport and setup easy, and offers a powerful size-to-performance ratio. Each L1 Pro system offers 180° horizontal coverage, with the brand's signature clarity and tonal balance. It also has extended bass response thanks to a unique RaceTrack woofer design.
As for mixing, it has built-in multichannel mixers offering EQ, reverb and phantom power, along with Bluetooth streaming and access to the full library of ToneMatch presets. No setup or cabling headaches. Good sound and coverage that let us focus on what matters: performing.
RaceTrack woofers. Bass in a compact size
The RaceTrack woofers built into the L1 Pro8 and L1 Pro16, and into the Bose Sub1 and Sub2 modular subwoofers available for the L1 Pro32, deliver powerful bass, have an optimized center of gravity and save a lot of space.
Their slim design delivers the full impact of a conventional subwoofer without requiring the usual size of heavy subs. This frees up space in the car and on stage, and makes every load-in and gig much more comfortable.
Built-in mixer, and on your phone
Each L1 Pro system has a built-in mixer, so we can directly connect several instruments, microphones and other signal sources. It features 2 combo XLR-1/4" inputs with phantom power, a 1/4" and 1/8" (3.5 mm) aux input, plus Bluetooth streaming.
Illuminated rotary encoders give you instant access to volume, tone and reverb settings per channel. We can also choose from system EQ presets optimized for live music, recorded music and other preset suggestions that sound good quickly and without hassle.
We can add instruments and other audio sources via the dedicated ToneMatch port: a single cable provides power and digital audio between the system and a Bose T4S or T8S mixer (optional). And with the intuitive L1 Mix app, you also get full wireless control of the mixer.
When you change volume and tone settings in the app, the LED encoder on the L1 Pro moves to match: the mixer and the app are always synchronized in real time
L1 Mix app. Intuitive, instant wireless control
With the L1 Mix app, we can adjust mixer settings instantly from the phone or even walk around the room, listen to how the mix sounds and adjust it as we move through the different corners.
It also provides access to the entire ToneMatch library of custom EQ presets. In short, with the L1 Mix app you get connectivity that boosts performance, giving you greater flexibility to make changes on the fly through intuitive, instant controls.
