Bose L1 Pro8

CurrentReleased 2020

The smallest L1 Pro column, with eight 2-inch drivers in a C-shaped array above a RaceTrack bass driver in the power stand. Its 180-degree spread suits cafés, bars and small rooms where people sit close to the stage. A natural choice for a solo singer-guitarist who wants Bose ToneMatch presets in a three-piece system that goes in one trip.
