L1 Model 1 Single System/Dual Bass Package

The L1 Model I Single System/Dual Bass Package includes one Bose L1 Model I Cylindrical Radiator Speakers, one Bose L1 Model I Power Stands, and two Bose B1 Bass Modules.

Hear the same quality sound your audience hears with the award-winning L1 Model I system. Based on over 10 years of groundbreaking Bose research, this all-in-one amplification system features the unique Cylindrical Radiator loudspeaker. Its proprietary, vertical design helps fill the room with clear sound like no ordinary speaker can.

Wide, uniform coverage”throughout the room

The innovative Cylindrical Radiator loudspeaker has a line array of 24 small drivers mounted into a vertical enclosure for wide, horizontal sound coverage. In comparison to a conventional speaker, volume and tone diminish very slowly over distance.

The loudspeaker's wedge-shaped dispersion pattern sends very little audio up or down, preventing much of the room reverberation that can muddy your sound.
In contrast to a conventional setup, an L1 system lets you, your fellow musicians and the audience hear the same sound. You don't need any other stage monitors, mixers or PA speakers. Your Bose L1 system replaces them all with one sleek, powerful setup.

Built-in amplifiers, mixer and ToneMatch presets

The L1 Model I power stand includes built-in amplifiers to drive the loudspeaker and up to two B1 bass modules. It also has an integrated four-channel mixer with two XLR and two line-level inputs.

Onboard ToneMatch Presets--another Bose exclusive--let you quickly optimize the tone of up to 100 specific instruments and microphones, at the touch of a button. For more inputs and a suite of effects and tone-shaping tools, add the optional T1 ToneMatch audio engine.
