Bose L1 Pro16 Portable Line Array Column PA System
DETAILS
Bose L1 Pro16 combines powerful sound, extended bass, and streamlined portability for medium to large venues.
The Bose L1 Pro16 Portable Line Array Column PA System strikes the ideal balance between power and portability, making it a strong choice for DJs, singer-songwriters, and small bands performing in medium to large venues. Its J-shaped line array design features 16 articulated 2-inch neodymium drivers, delivering 180° horizontal coverage with tight vertical control at the top and wide dispersion at the bottom. This ensures consistent sound projection whether the system is placed on the floor or on stage, giving clear and balanced audio to the entire audience.
For low-end reinforcement, the L1 Pro16 integrates a slim yet powerful subwoofer featuring Bose’s innovative 10" × 18" RaceTrack driver. This design achieves the same performance as a traditional 15-inch woofer while taking up significantly less space, making transport and setup far more manageable. Performers can enjoy deep, punchy bass without the bulk of larger PA subs.
The built-in three-channel mixer provides everything you need to connect microphones, instruments, and other audio sources. With two phantom-powered XLR/TRS combo inputs, 6.4 mm and 3.5 mm aux inputs, and Bluetooth connectivity, you can mix a variety of sources with ease. Illuminated rotary encoders allow quick control of volume, tone, and reverb, while dedicated system EQ presets let you optimise the sound for live music, playback, or speech. Additional channels can be added via the ToneMatch port, which connects seamlessly to optional Bose T4S or T8S mixers.
Control is even more flexible with the Bose Music app, allowing you to adjust settings wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet. Walk around the venue, make real-time changes to levels and EQ, and access the complete ToneMatch library of presets. The app and hardware stay perfectly in sync, giving you full command of your performance at all times.
With its professional sound quality, extended low-frequency performance, and ease of transport, the Bose L1 Pro16 is a versatile PA system built for performers who need both power and portability.
