Better live sound—a true breakthrough
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.

As Guitar World describes it, the '… sound radiates and fills the room in a way far more natural than a typical loudspeaker … it's a real breakthrough in amplified sound. …' Key benefits of an L1 system:

Projects clean, detailed sound evenly across the stage and throughout an audience of up to several hundred, with little change in tone or volume.

Produces smooth, consistent tone, whether you're in front of the speaker or off to the side

Reduces much unwanted room reverberation
Eliminates conventional monitors, mixers and PA
Sets up and breaks down quickly

Fits easily into a car trunk
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 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.
