Bose L1 Model 1S system with B1 bass and ToneMatch audio engine
The Bose L1 Model 1S with B1 Bass and ToneMatch Audio Engine delivers the audio fidelity expected from Bose in a sleek, lightweight and portable unit that's ideally suited for musicians, mobile DJs, and performances, and other sound reinforcement applications. The ToneMatch audio engine features a 5-channel mixer that connects to the speaker's base. The mixer features three mic/line input channels 1, 2, and 3 that accept XLR and 1/4" TRS connections, while channels 4 and 5 are a paired 1/4" TRS input.
The ultra-low noise preamps provide high signal to noise ratio, and Bose's Proprietary ToneMatch presets optimize the L1 system to match the intended natural sound of specific instruments and microphones. Also included is the Bose B1 Bass module for reinforcing low-end frequencies and enhancing the sound of a bass guitar, DJ rigs and more. The speaker features 12 small drivers, carefully positioned to ensure balanced audio signal at the direct and off-axis (sides) of the system. Setting up the L1 Model 1S is quick and easy; simply place the speaker extensions into the amplifier base, and slide the speaker on top of the extensions. Two extensions are included, and allow easy height adjustment.
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.
Powerful multichannel audio engine
Combining the T1 ToneMatch audio engine with your L1 system expands your options to connect additional instruments and microphones. You can also use the ToneMatch engine to fine-tune your sound with powerful, proprietary tone-shaping tools.
The compact, four-channel engine provides fingertip control of a library of ToneMatch presets. Just touch a button to make hundreds of precise refinements to the sound of instruments and microphones. The engine also features a complete suite of studio-class reverbs, additional effects and dynamics processing. It connects to the L1 Model 1S system via a single digital cable for quick, streamlined setup.
