The Perfect Balance of Power and Portability: The Bose L1 Pro16
The Bose L1 Pro16 is a versatile and streamlined portable line array system that strikes the perfect balance between power and portability. It’s an ideal choice for DJs, singer-songwriters, and small groups performing in small-to-medium-sized venues like clubs, bars, and coffee shops. The L1 Pro16 delivers the signature Bose clarity, a powerful bass response, and wide coverage in an easy-to-carry system.
Featuring a J-shaped line array with 16 articulated 2" neodymium drivers, the L1 Pro16 provides a generous 180-degree horizontal coverage with tight vertical control on top and wide dispersion on the bottom. This ensures your sound reaches the entire audience, whether they're sitting or standing. The integrated subwoofer features a unique 10” × 18” high-excursion RaceTrack driver, delivering a performance that rivals a conventional 15” woofer but in a much slimmer design.
The L1 Pro16 is a complete, all-in-one solution. It features a built-in multi-channel mixer with EQ, reverb, and phantom power, plus Bluetooth® streaming and access to the full ToneMatch library of presets. With the intuitive L1 Mix app, you can control the mixer wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet, giving you the freedom to adjust your sound from anywhere in the venue.
