One for All
The Bose L1 Compact truly is an all-in-one PA system. The main Power Stand module is the entire system – the two-channel mixer, the power amplifier, the low-frequency/bass speaker, and the six-speaker Loudspeaker Array module. In the collapsed position, the Power Stand performs perfectly on a table top or platform. Want to stretch out a bit? Use the two Extension bars (included) to set up your system in the extended position, raising the L1 Compact Loudspeaker Array module to a total height of over 78 inches. Plus, the modular L1 Compact can grow with your needs. Add a second system to increase coverage. Equip each on-stage performer with their own L1 Compact system to preserve the personal imaging and separation. Introduce digital mixing and DSP effects to your L1 Compact system with the Bose T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine.

Assembles in Seconds; No Tools, No Wires
The complete L1 Compact Line Array System weighs in at under 30 pounds. The Power Stand features an integrated handle and the two Extension bars come in a convenient carry-case with handle and shoulder strap. Simply carry the L1 Compact into the venue, place it in position, and you’re ready to fill the room with sound. The Extension bars and the Loudspeaker Array module just snap into place; all of the wiring is internal, so there is no need for any unsightly or misplaced speaker cables.

Coherent Sound; Increased Coverage
Inside the Power Stand module is an 8" bass speaker housed in a custom enclosure to improve fidelity. These low-frequency sound waves propagate in all directions for a smooth, even tone. Unlike a traditional PA system that employs larger speakers utilizing inventive horn flares and wave guides, the L1 Compact system instead relies on multiple smaller drivers – blended with exclusive Bose Spatial Dispersion technology – to create an advanced line array module capable of accurately reproducing the mid and high frequencies. Each of these six compact drivers is mounted at a precise angle to optimize the signal dispersion, providing 180 degrees of coverage. The Loudspeaker Array creates a coherent wave front producing extra clarity and fatigue-free listening. The wide, even dispersion of the line array system allows the L1 Compact to act as both the main and monitor speaker, so the sound on stage is the same sound the audience hears. Using the Extension bars to raise the Loudspeaker Array module increases the separation between the bass speaker and the midrange/high-frequency transducers. This extra height allows the Loudspeaker Array module to broadcast above the audience, minimizing sound absorption while providing enhanced coverage and intelligibility.

The Ins and Outs
On the Bose L1 Compact, Mixer Channel 1 is a dedicated microphone channel and comes equipped with an XLR input, a volume knob, plus Bass and Treble EQ controls to shape the tone. The exclusive Bose ToneMatch preset offers enhanced performance to any dynamic vocal mic connected to this input. In addition to the Volume knob, Channel 2 offers a 1/4" instrument input; left and right RCA inputs to accommodate a small mixer, keyboard, DJ mixer, or other source; plus an 1/8" jack for use with a smartphone, tablet, or computer. The Channel 2 instrument input also offers an exclusive ToneMatch setting. This time, the ToneMatch preset is optimized for an acoustic guitar, although that can be switched off to provide compatibility with other instruments. Both 1/4" and RCA style outputs are provided.

Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere
The portability, simplicity, versatility, and fidelity of the Bose L1 Compact make it the perfect PA system for hundreds of applications. The advanced line array design delivers 180 degrees of smooth coverage for venues of 1 to 100. There is no need to worry about transportation or placement of the system. Use the built-in handle to carry it in the door, set it down, and plug it in. In the collapsed position, you can place the entire system on a desk, dais, lectern, or table top. Plug in a mic and your laptop for a powerful presentation. The L1 Lead a conference, entertain a crowd, or use your headset mic and MP3 player to lead the next Yoga or Aerobics class. Configuring the L1 Compact in the extended position is a snap – well, three snaps, literally. Lead your house of worship in prayer, scripture or song. In concert, the Bose L1 Compact sets the stage for the solo performer, singer/songwriter, acoustic duo, coffee house happenings, impromptu hootenannies, open mic evenings – whatever your musical heart desires.
