Bose L1 Pro16

CurrentReleased 2020

The middle L1 Pro, with a 16-driver J-shaped array and a large 10 x 18-inch RaceTrack woofer built into the power stand. It throws further and goes deeper than the Pro8, so it suits duos and acoustic acts playing pubs and function rooms. The built-in three-channel mixer covers vocals, an instrument and backing tracks.
