Bose Professional L1 PRO 16 Column PA System

Portable line‑array PA – powerful, even coverage

The Bose Professional L1 PRO 16 portable line‑array PA brings high output and precise sound distribution to small‑to‑medium venues. A J‑shaped array of sixteen 2‑inch neodymium drivers radiates sound across a full 180° horizontal plane, so every audience member hears the mix clearly.

What sets this model apart

Instead of a conventional PA stack, the L1 PRO 16 incorporates a slim RaceTrack subwoofer—featuring a 10" × 18" (254 mm × 457 mm) neodymium driver that achieves deep low‑frequency response (‑3 dB at 42 Hz) yet keeps the footprint narrow for easy transport.

Coverage and driver performance – 180° horizontal coverage

Uniform sound dispersion is a must for singer‑songwriters and solo performers who want every nuance to reach their audience.

• Driver count: 16 × 2‑inch neodymium drivers – delivers high‑definition mids and highs.
• Horizontal coverage: 180° – audience receives consistent level from any side of the room.
• Players benefit from the vertical pattern of 0° to –30° V, which focuses on‑stage sound and gently spreads across the floor.

Physical dimensions and portability – lightweight design

For musicians moving gear between venues, portability is key.

• Overall size: 2,011 mm H × 355 mm W × 455 mm D – compact enough for car trunks and stage corners.
• Weight: 23.6 kg – light enough for one person to carry comfortably.
• Its subwoofer driver measures 254 mm × 457 mm RaceTrack, delivering impactful bass without the need for a bulky enclosure.

Connectivity and control – flexible signal routing

Reliable connections and convenient remote control matter to today’s performers.

• Inputs: 2 combo XLR/¼" (phantom‑powered) + 1 ¼" aux + 1 3.5 mm aux – ready for microphones, instruments, and playback gear.
• Wireless: Bluetooth® streaming – enjoy high‑quality AAC audio streaming from your phone or tablet.
• Volume, EQ, reverb, and mute are all easily adjusted via the Bose Music app on your mobile device.

Who is it for – singer‑songwriters and solo performers

The L1 PRO 16 suits singer‑songwriters, acoustic guitarists, DJs, and small‑band duos looking for a single, portable PA that handles both front‑of‑house and stage monitoring. With 180° coverage and an integrated mixer, performers clearly hear themselves onstage while the audience gets an articulate mix.

Bose heritage – innovative portable sound

When Bose launched the original L1 line‑array in the early 2000s, it redefined portable PA design with articulated driver arrays. The Pro series advances that tradition, adding RaceTrack subwoofers, Bluetooth connectivity, and the Bose Music app for studio‑quality sound in a gig‑ready system.
