Bose L1 Pro16 Portable Line Array System

Get in, set up and simply perform

The most portable L1 Pro system

The L1 Pro8 is ready whenever you are, enabling easier load-in and faster setup. It offers generous coverage with a C-shaped line array featuring 8 articulated 2″ neodymium drivers. This array delivers 180-degree horizontal coverage with wide vertical dispersion, allowing your audience to hear clearly whether they are seated or standing, even off to the extreme sides in small to medium venues like coffee shops and cafes.

The L1 Pro8 gives singer-songwriters and DJs both setup simplicity and supreme clarity — the power to sound your best and simply perform.

Racetrack woofer

Bass without the bulk

An integrated subwoofer with a unique RaceTrack driver design gives you powerful bass, has an optimized center of gravity, and saves a lot of space. This slim 10″x 18″ neodymium driver gives you performance that rivals a conventional 15″ woofer without the cumbersome size, freeing up room in your vehicle and on the stage, and making every carry in between — home to car, vehicle to venue — much easier.

Built-in mixers

Mixer onboard and on your phone

Each L1 Pro system features a built-in mixer, so you can connect various instruments, microphones, and other sources easily. You get two combo XLR-1/4″ phantom-powered inputs, 1/4″ and 1/8″ (3.5 mm) aux inputs, plus Bluetooth streaming capability. Illuminated rotary encoders give you instant access to volume, tone, and reverb settings per channel. Select between optimized system EQ presets for live music, recorded music, and more. And add in even more instruments and other audio sources via dedicated ToneMatch port — one cable provides both power and digital audio between the system and a Bose T4S or T8S mixer (optional).

And with the intuitive Bose Music app, you get complete wireless mixer control from your smartphone or tablet too.

Intuitive and instant wireless control

With the Bose Music app, you can adjust mixer settings instantly from your mobile device 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 Bose Music app, you get the connectivity that empowers your performance, giving you greater flexibility for on-the-fly tweaks via controls that are intuitive and instant.

The Bose L1 Pro16 is a powerful, all-in-one portable line array PA system that combines high-output performance with remarkable clarity and portability. Designed for singer-songwriters, bands, mobile DJs, and event professionals, the L1 Pro16 delivers wide, consistent sound coverage with extended bass response in a streamlined, easy-to-carry format.

At the heart of the system is a 16-driver articulated J-shaped line array using high-performance 2″ neodymium drivers. This advanced configuration provides 180° horizontal coverage and broad vertical dispersion, making it perfect for medium to large venues. Whether your audience is seated or standing, the L1 Pro16 ensures clear, balanced sound throughout the room.

The system’s low-end performance is powered by a built-in 10″ × 18″ high-excursion RaceTrack subwoofer, engineered for deep, punchy bass without the bulky size of a traditional sub. The innovative design saves space and enhances portability while maintaining the same impact and output of larger systems. This makes it ideal for DJs and live performers who need powerful bass with quick setup and teardown.

With a total power output of 1,000 watts from a bi-amped Class D amplifier, the L1 Pro16 delivers clean and loud audio without distortion. It offers a frequency response from 42 Hz to 16 kHz, making it suitable for everything from vocals and acoustic instruments to full-range music playback. The system supports up to 124 dB SPL, ensuring strong performance even in louder environments or open-air events.

The L1 Pro16 features an integrated 3-channel mixer, giving performers control directly from the unit. Channels 1 and 2 offer XLR/¼″ combo inputs with phantom power for microphones or instruments. Channel 3 accepts stereo input via a 3.5mm jack, ¼″ line-in, or Bluetooth® streaming. Each channel has independent volume controls, reverb, and EQ presets, making it easy to dial in your sound without needing external gear.

The system includes a ToneMatch port, allowing seamless integration with optional Bose ToneMatch mixers (such as the T4S or T8S). This enables expanded connectivity and more detailed sound control, especially useful for multi-performer setups. Additionally, a balanced XLR line output allows connection to another speaker system, recording device, or stage monitor.

Wireless control is made simple via the Bose L1 Mix app, which allows performers to remotely adjust volume, EQ, and effects in real time using a smartphone or tablet. This ensures easy sound checks and quick adjustments from anywhere in the room.

Physically, the L1 Pro16 strikes a balance between power and portability. Weighing approximately 55.1 lbs (25 kg), the modular design makes it easy to transport and set up. The speaker array, power base, and extension come apart for compact storage, and the system is built with professional-grade materials for durability in regular gigging environments.

For musicians, DJs, corporate presenters, and event planners who need a blend of premium sound, reliable performance, and effortless mobility, the Bose L1 Pro16 is a top-tier solution. With wide dispersion, strong low-end response, an onboard mixer, and modern connectivity options, it’s engineered to deliver professional sound quality wherever your performance takes you.
