Coverage matters. As a performer, you're only as good as what your audience hears. Yet so many times, the venue you play in can dramatically affect the sound of your performance. For decades, tour-sound professionals have used line array systems to overcome coverage challenges found in stadiums, arenas, and concert halls. However, for working musicians, DJs, and other performers, there has never been a way to get consistent, even coverage and quality sound from a system you can easily take from gig to gig. Until Now.
Thinking like engineers. Seeing like performers. Bose engineers looked at the challenge differently from the stage. From the club floor. From the corner of the pub. From those perspectives, they could understand what could help working musicians and performers connect better with their audiences. The result is a family of portable PA systems for nearly any performer. From solo musicians to mobile DJs to full bands. With innovative design and unique technologies, Bose portable PA systems offer what many conventional PA systems can't.
High Power, Flexible Coverage and Easy Setup
The Bose F1 Model 812 Flexible Array Loudspeaker is the first powered portable loudspeaker that lets you control its vertical coverage pattern. So whether you’re playing at floor level, on a stage, or facing raked seats or bleachers, you can now adapt your PA to match the room and ensure every audience member hears the performance the way you want them to.
For extended bass response, the Bose F1 Subwoofer packs all the power of a larger bass box into a more compact design that’s easier to carry and fits in a car. A mounting stand for the loudspeaker is stored right in the body of the subwoofer, making setup fast and easy. The stand even includes cable channels to neatly hide the wires. Plus, the loudspeaker and subwoofer feature highly durable, lightweight composite enclosures to ensure easy transport and years of reliability.
Focus Less on Your Gear, More on Your Music
L1 portable line array systems provide an approach to live sound that’s different from other systems. Using proprietary Bose® technology, L1 systems combine PA and monitors into a single, highly portable unit. The loudspeaker can be positioned behind or to the side of the performer—and you hear what the audience hears. L1 systems feature a unique and highly effective vertical design: a column of closely spaced small speakers mounted in a slim enclosure.
An L1 loudspeaker projects sound waves forward and to the sides—delivering 180-degree coverage—but very little up and down, reducing unwanted room reverberation. The amplified sound spreads out more evenly across the stage and into the audience, and the volume level drops off much more slowly than with a conventional speaker. Lightweight, interlocking components are easy to transport and set up. And the distinctive vertical loudspeaker enclosures don’t require separate speaker stand.
Sound Like a Pro. Anywhere.
Sound great anywhere with the Bose S1 Pro Multi-Position PA system. Designed for musicians, DJs, and general PA use, the S1 Pro is the ultimate all-in-one PA, floor monitor, practice amplifier and primary music system. At 6. 8 kg (15 lbs), the ultra-portable and rugged S1 Pro is lightweight and designed to transport effortlessly using the convenient carry-handle. Perform anywhere for hours with the S1 Pro using the optional lithium-ion rechargeable battery.
No brand is as instantly recognizable inside and outside of the professional music industry as Bose. Whether they're backing you up onstage with one of their acclaimed L1 systems, filling your home with music, or setting the atmosphere of your favorite restaurant, Bose delivers a truly superior listening experience. You'll find premium Bose loudspeakers, amplifiers, and sound processing everywhere, from small performance venues to top-quality hotels, lecture halls, churches, retail spaces, and more. Why? Because when it comes to premium sound quality and reliability, nobody tops Bose.
