As the most portable L1 Pro system, the L1 Pro8 portable PA is ready whenever you are. With an 8-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 Bose Music app, formerly known as the 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.
