About the Bose L1 Systems
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 the Cylindrical Radiator loudspeaker, available only from Bose. Its proprietary, vertical design helps fill the room with clear sound like no ordinary concert speaker can.
As Guitar World describes it, "... the sound radiates and fills the room in a way far more natural than a typical loudspeaker ... it's a real breakthrough in amplified sound..."
Benefits of an L1 system
- 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
Wide, uniform coverage-throughout the room
The innovative 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.
Built-in amps, mixer and ToneMatch presets
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.
Small, powerful bass options
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.
Light, easy, fast
L1 systems are noticeably lightweight and compact, fitting easily into the trunk of a small car. And setup and breakdown take just minutes.
Features
- 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.
- Proprietary ToneMatch presets on channels 1 and 2 optimize L1 system to match intended natural sound of specific instruments and microphones on channels 1 and 2.
- Cylindrical Radiator technology uses 24 small drivers mounted into a slim, vertical enclosure to create nearly 180 degrees of horizontal coverage-with little dropoff in volume and tone. Loudspeaker's two-piece, interlocking design makes for quick and easy setup, breakdown and transport.
- Integrated power amplifiers in power stand deliver clean, precise amplification for L1 Model I loudspeaker and up to two B1 bass modules.
- Channel inserts/effects loops for connecting external effects and processors to channels 1 and 2 via 1/4" TRS line input/output jack. Use a stereo plug to connect the send and return signals with one cord.
- Bass module out for amplified bass output signal to one or two B1 bass modules. L1 system automatically adjusts equalization appropriately when bass modules are connected.
- Bass line out delivers post-DSP bass signal output. Accepts 1/4" TRS phone cable. Use to connect powered subwoofer, additional amplification system or Bose PackLite amplifier with up to two additional bass modules.
- Digital data out sends digital mix of channels 1 and 2 to external recording gear at 48KHz sample rate.
- Digital data in for updating product firmware and ToneMatch presets.
- R1 remote input for included remote control and 16' cable.
