Bose L1 Pro16 Portable Line Array Speaker System with Bluetooth

The Bose L1 Pro16 is a high-performance portable line array system designed for musicians, DJs, and performers seeking a balance between power and portability. It features a J-shaped line array with 16 articulated 2" neodymium drivers, delivering 180-degree horizontal coverage and versatile vertical dispersion. This design ensures clear and consistent sound across medium to large venues, whether the system is set up on the floor or on an elevated stage. The integrated subwoofer, equipped with a unique RaceTrack driver measuring 10" x 18", provides deep bass response comparable to a conventional 15" woofer, all within a compact form factor that simplifies transportation and setup.

Equipped with a built-in mixer, the L1 Pro16 offers multiple input options, including two combo XLR-1/4" inputs, 1/4" and 1/8" aux inputs, and Bluetooth streaming capability. The mixer also features illuminated rotary encoders for intuitive control over volume, tone, and reverb settings. Performers can further customize their sound using the system's EQ presets optimized for live and recorded music. Additionally, the Bose Music App allows for wireless mixer control, enabling adjustments from a smartphone or tablet, enhancing flexibility during performances.
