Is it worth it? Bose L1 Pro8 - Portable PA System
✅ Tony's Reviews
Product Description
As the most portable L1 Pro system, the L1 Pro8 portable PA is ready whenever you are. With an eight driver articulated C-shape line array, the L1 Pro8 delivers 180-degree horizontal sound coverage, making it an ideal companion for shows in small venues like coffee shops and cafes. An integrated subwoofer with a RaceTrack driver delivers powerful bass without the bulk; a built-in multi-channel mixer offers EQ, reverb, and phantom power, plus Bluetooth® streaming and access to the full library of ToneMatch presets; and the intuitive L1 Mix app places wireless control in your hands from your smartphone. It’s an ultra-portable system with a surprising size-to-performance ratio. The L1 Pro8 gives singer-songwriters and DJs both setup simplicity and supreme clarity — the power to sound your best and simply perform.
From the manufacturer
THE MOST PORTABLE L1 PRO SYSTEM
Load in, set up, and play. A great portable PA for songwriters and mobile DJs, the L1 Pro8 is ready whenever you are. It features a compact-but-powerful eight-driver articulated C-shape line array, so you get 180 degrees of horizontal sound coverage, ready to fill small venues like coffee shops and cafes with crystal clear sound and smooth tonal balance.
The one-trip portable line array
The L1 Pro8 is easy to carry and easy to set up (and even easier to listen to). It weighs just 16 kilograms (35 pounds) and disassembles into three lightweight pieces. Stow the line array components in the included travel bag, pick up the base using its integrated handle, and you're off. And you still have a hand free to carry your instrument.
BASS WITHOUT THE BULK
You’ve may have seen RaceTrackstyle drivers before. But never like this. Through dedicated, painstaking engineering, Bose created a subwoofer that delivers something better and different — a slim, highly portable, incredibly powerful design that easily fits on stage and effortless fills out your sound. The integrated subwoofer in L1 Pro8 features a 7" × 13" RaceTrack driver, giving you performance that rivals a conventional 12" woofer without the cumbersome size.
Generous coverage
The L1 Pro8 has a C-shape line array featuring 8 articulated 2” neodymium drivers.
As with every Bose L1 system, you get legendary 180-degree horizontal sound coverage, allowing your audience to hear clearly even off to the extreme sides in small to medium venues. One key difference with the L1 Pro8 is its vertical sound coverage pattern. Its C-shape array means you get wide vertical dispersion, allowing your audience to hear clearly whether they are seated or standing — generous coverage.
The Bose L1 Mix App
With the L1 Mix app, you can adjust mixer settings instantly from your phone or even walk the room, hear how the mix sounds, and fine-tune as you go. Change volume and tone settings in the app and watch the LED encoder on your L1 Pro move to match — the mixer and app are always in sync, in real time. Plus, you have access to the entire ToneMatch library of custom EQ presets. With the L1 Mix app, you get the connectivity that empowers your performance via controls that are intuitive and instant.

And it sounds like a million bucks! No separate monitors needed; you hear EXACTLY what the audience hears! And no worries about microphone placement re: feedback.
Built-in presets, reverb, easy to use first time out.
Perfect P.A.!
Bose doesn’t offer an UPS driver pickup but package drop off. They should offer driver pick up since it is such a bulky and heavy unit. Not every single one in the earth owns a truck; it won’t be fitted in my sedan obviously.
I finally received my repaired of L1 pro 8. Yes, Bose fixed it, but they also put dents and scratches on my L1 pro 8. SERIOUSLY??? The service is totally unacceptable, Bose treated my equipment like a dump. my current speaker also products more humming noise than it used to be (maybe used parts was being used)??? I contacted Bose Customer Service and filed a complaint, let's see how it goes!!!!!
After 2 months of struggling back & forth, I am finally able to reach a manager; he shipped me a brand new L1 pro. As usual, shipping is quick, its about 1 week turn around. Yes, the new unit has less humming noise (25%-50% less than the fixed unit at the same volume level); it sounds perfectly, but I have no clue how long does my replacement last this time.

Compre 2 bocinas L1 Pro 8, y trabajo con ellas en estereo, desde mi mezcladora Behringer y por XLR mando señal Left y Rigth (una a cada bocina) en la foto se aprecia un salon mediana, una boda para 70 personas, y solamente usé el 45% de la potencia de las bocinas.
En toro evento, en un salón grande utilicé todos los canales de mi mezcladora para conectar mi guitarra, mi microfono, teclado, percusiones, todo a la mixer, de ahi salida Left y Right por XLR (uno a cada bocina) en un salon con 180 invitados, con capacidad para 200, tocando en vivo y solo utilizamos el 60% de la potencia de las bocinas. En verdad que son maravilosas. Muy recomednables.
