Love it!

I've had this for a little over a year now and I'm so happy that I took the plunge and bought it! I tour around to local bars and restaurants and either play solo or with one other person and it has been a game changer! The sound is so crisp and clear and the compact set up has cut down my set up time and takes up much less space! I love love LOVE my Bose. Would recommend to anybody and everybody!

Great product

I have used this system for over 10 years. I am m a solo performer playing a variety of gigs throughout Texas and the southwest. This system delivers hard volume (500 people +) and quality sound.

Fills the Room

Our church has been using this the L1 for over a year. Fills the room that seats 200. Easy to transport, quick to set-up and tear down. Amazing product!

Awesome!

Purchased a few months ago and after using for several gigs I must say that it is brilliant. The bass from the B1 is unbelievable, easily equivalent to a 15inch sub, but and this is the thing it goes right down to 32htz, which means no other speaker on the market sounds as good, I normally use two Mackie SRM 450 for my gigs, but after using the Bose system they now sound completely lacking in bass and I thought they where good when I purchased them. The secret to releasing the power in this system is the T1 Tone match mixer, there is a setting for high power music, used in conjunction with the stereo inputs from my DJ mixer, turbo charges the sound! I have never ever had so many compliments on the sound from guests, I also purchased a second B1 for the system and together they rattle everything in the room! So setting up is now a breeze as one speaker covers everything. 6 months on very impressed!

About Bose L1 Model 1S System, Includes Single B1 Bass Module, Portable Line Array PA Speaker System

Spend less time setting up your gear and more time enjoying it. The new L1 Model 1S portable line array system delivers a potent combination of portability and performance. It's compact and light enough to make setup quick and easy, yet powerful enough to fill a mid-sized venue. This system works well for solo musicians, bands and public speakers. Includes one B1 bass module for enhanced low-end performance.

• Recommended for audiences up to 300
• 12-speaker articulated line array delivers 180-degree horizontal sound coverage
• Produces consistent tonal balance with less volume drop-off over distance
• System's interconnecting pieces allow for easy transport, setup and breakdown
• B1 bass module included
• Spatial Dispersion and Articulated Array speaker technologies in the loudspeaker produce wide, uniform sound coverage. The 12 small drivers are arranged using Articulated Array speaker technology in a slim, vertical enclosure - creating nearly 180 degrees of horizontal coverage and consistent tonal balance
• Integrated power amplifiers in the power stand provide clean, precise amplification for L1 Model 1S system with up to two B1 bass modules or one B2 bass module
• ToneMatch port on power stand for digital audio and power connection to ToneMatch audio engine
• Analog input, trim control and signal/clip LED for line-level analog input via 1/4" TRS phone cable. Can be used for instruments or other audio sources like DJ mixers, MP3 players, computers or DVD systems
• Bass module out for amplified bass output signal to the bass module. L1 system automatically adjusts equalization appropriately when bass modules are connected
• Interlocking design of the lightweight components eliminates the need for speaker stands and speaker wires. Setup takes only minutes
• Retractable legs provide stability for streamlined power stands and loudspeakers. Four retractable legs fold out of power stand simultaneously for quick setup and compact transport
• Convenient carry bags - one each for the loudspeaker, power stand and bass module - make getting to and from your gig that much easier

Put your PA behind you
The vertical configuration of the system's small, closely spaced drivers allows the L1 Model 1S system to project sound forward and to the sides - delivering 180-degree coverage - but very little up and down, reducing unwanted reverberation. This produces consistent tonal balance as sound spreads more evenly across the stage and into the audience and the volume level drops off much more slowly than with a conventional speaker. Unique Bose technologies enable the system to serve as both PA and monitor. It can be positioned behind or to the side of the performer - and you hear just what the audience hears. You're in control and there's no need for conventional monitors, mixers and PA systems.

Convenience to go
The three components of the L1 Model 1S system - upper array, lower extension and power stand - connect quickly and easily without the need for separate speaker stands. Setup and breakdown take just minutes. And everything stores neatly into the included carry bags, making transport easy, too.

Deep bass from small enclosures
The B1 bass module is our more portable bass option. It is considerably lighter and smaller than conventional bass bins required for the same performance. And it ensures more accurate amplification of lower notes for most voices and instruments. With the L1 Model 1S system you can add a second B1 module or power one B2 bass module for more flexibility and even greater power.

Multichannel flexibility
The optional T1 ToneMatch audio engine adds four more channels, so you can expand the system and connect additional instruments and microphones. You can also use the ToneMatch engine to fine-tune your sound with powerful, proprietary tone-shaping tools.

B1 bass module
This compact, powerful bass enclosure delivers the depth and impact of such instruments as bass guitars, drums and low voices. Low-pitched wind or string instruments, guitars and keyboards can also benefit from the additional low-end output the B1 provides. Includes cable to connect module to power stand and slip cover.

• Highly efficient speaker design features two 5.25" (13.3cm), high-output, high-excursion drivers that produce deep, strong bass from a small enclosure. When connected to power stand, active equalization circuitry automatically adjusts bass signal appropriately
• Compact, lightweight enclosure is easy to transport, set up and break down. Small footprint takes up considerably less space than traditional bass cabs required for same performance. Interlocking feet let you securely stack up to four modules together on their sides.
