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 Pro8 is a compact yet powerful portable line array PA system designed for musicians, DJs, and small event venues. Built for easy setup and rich, room-filling sound, the L1 Pro8 delivers wide coverage, deep bass, and detailed audio performance. With a built-in subwoofer, integrated 3-channel mixer, and wireless control via mobile app, this system is the ideal choice for artists who value portability, clarity, and simplicity.

At the core of the L1 Pro8 is its unique C-shaped line array featuring eight 2-inch neodymium drivers.

Whether you’re performing in a small venue, a café, or an outdoor space, the L1 Pro8 delivers clear vocals and instruments to every corner of the room.

A standout feature of the system is the integrated RaceTrack subwoofer, housed within the base of the unit. This 7″ × 13″ high-excursion driver is engineered to produce deep, rich low-end performance without the bulk of a traditional subwoofer. The compact RaceTrack design ensures that you get impactful bass while maintaining an ultra-portable profile that’s easy to carry and quick to assemble.

The bi-amped Class D amplifier powering the L1 Pro8 delivers 240 watts to the subwoofer and 60 watts to the mid-high array, resulting in a maximum SPL of 118 dB. This balance of power ensures both clarity and punch, whether you’re playing acoustic music, electronic beats, or vocal-heavy tracks. The system has a frequency response ranging from approximately 45 Hz to 16 kHz, making it suitable for full-range performances and playback.

For live performance flexibility, the L1 Pro8 includes a built-in 3-channel mixer. Channels 1 and 2 feature combo XLR/¼-inch inputs with phantom power, allowing you to connect microphones or instruments directly. Each of these channels includes independent EQ, reverb, tone presets, and mute options. Channel 3 supports Bluetooth® streaming, as well as 3.5mm or stereo ¼-inch line inputs, making it perfect for backing tracks or music playback.

The mixer also includes a ToneMatch port, which allows for digital audio and power connection to optional Bose T4S or T8S ToneMatch mixers. This feature enables seamless integration with larger setups or more complex input needs. A balanced XLR output is provided for connecting to additional PA systems, stage monitors, or recording interfaces.

Wireless control is available through the Bose L1 Mix mobile app, which allows performers to adjust levels, tone, and reverb directly from their smartphone or tablet. This app enhances the user experience by offering remote access during live performances, soundchecks, or rehearsals.

In terms of physical design, the Bose L1 Pro8 is impressively lightweight and modular. The full setup weighs only 39 pounds (approximately 17.7 kg), and breaks down into three parts: the power stand, the extension, and the speaker array. Assembly takes only minutes, and the system includes an ergonomic handle for easy transport.

The L1 Pro8 runs on universal 100-240V power and includes a USB-C port for firmware updates, ensuring that your system stays up to date with the latest software features and improvements. This professional-grade PA system is ideal for solo performers, duos, mobile DJs, or anyone needing powerful sound in a portable package.

With its combination of sleek design, wide sound coverage, deep bass, and modern connectivity, the Bose L1 Pro8 is a premium solution for high-quality, portable live sound reinforcement.
