With a six-driver articulated line array, the L1 Compact portable system delivers 180-degree horizontal sound coverage, making it a great, ultra-portable, all-in-one sound system for acoustic musicians, as a secondary PA for DJs, and for backyard parties, public speaking, and events.

Description

A portable PA classic, the Bose L1 Compact portable line array system is one of the original L1 systems. With a six-driver articulated line array, the L1 Compact system delivers 180-degree horizontal sound coverage, making it a great, ultra-portable, all-in-one sound system for acoustic musicians, as a secondary PA for DJs, and for backyard parties, public speaking, and events.

The Bose L1 Compact PA system is one of the original L1 systems and helped to shape an entirely new category of portable PA invented by Bose. With a six-driver articulated line array, the L1 Compact system delivers 180-degree horizontal sound coverage, making it a great, ultra-portable, all-in-one sound system for acoustic musicians, as a secondary PA for DJs, and for backyard parties, public speaking, and events.

Classic Bose Clarity

The L1 Compact portable PA system’s six-driver line array delivers even sound dispersion across the whole range, including the audience or the stage. So instead of dialing in a stage monitor while wondering what the mix sounds like from the crowd, with the Bose L1 Compact, you'll always hear what the audience hears.

Convenient Capability

On the back of the Bose L1 Compact power stand, you'll find a convenient two-channel mixer. Channel 1 has an XLR input for a microphone along with a ToneMatch preset that will take a dynamic microphone from sounding good to sounding great instantly. Channel 2 has a 1/4" input for an instrument, stereo RCA inputs, and a selectable ToneMatch preset for acoustic guitars. With these ToneMatch presets, singer-songwriters will find that their vocals retain clarity and a full-sounding presence, while acoustic guitars shine through with richness and texture.

Carry In One Trip. Set Up In One Minute.

Beyond its excellent clarity and capability, the L1 Compact portable system is easy to carry and set up. You won't need to call in help just to get the system into the gig, and you won't have to labor through tons of cable connections and audio-testing steps. Weighing just 13 kilograms (29 pounds), the Bose L1 Compact is light enough for one person to carry, and it sets up in under a minute. You can also choose between three setup positions, depending on the space: a collapsed position for smaller spaces, mid-height for medium-sized audiences, and a fully extended position to fill larger rooms.

If you’re looking for minimal complexity and outstanding clarity, the L1 Compact is for you. Carry it in one trip. Set it up in one minute. Fill the room with one system and leave audiences wanting more
