Bose - L1® Model 1S system with B2 bass and ToneMatch® audio engine - Black

L1® Model 1S

Spatial Dispersion™ and Articulated Array® speaker technologies in the loudspeaker produce wide, uniform sound coverage.

The twelve small drivers are arranged using Articulated Array speaker technology in a slim, vertical enclosure, creating nearly 180 degrees of horizontal coverage and consistent tonal balance.

Integrated power amplifiers in the power stand provide clean, precise amplification for L1 Model 1S system with up to two B1 bass modules or one B2 bass module.

Analog input, trim control and signal/clip LED for line-level analog input via 1/4" TRS phone cable. Can be used for instruments or other audio sources, such as DJ mixers, MP3 players, computers or DVD systems.

Bass module out for amplified bass output signal to the bass module. L1 system automatically adjusts equalization appropriately when bass modules are connected.

The interlocking design of the four lightweight components eliminates the need for speaker stands and speaker wires. Setup takes only minutes.

Retractable legs provide stability for streamlined power stands and loudspeakers. Four retractable legs fold out of power stand simultaneously for quick setup and compact transport.

Convenient carry bags - one each for the loudspeaker, power stand and bass module - make getting to and from your gig that much easier.

B2 bass module

The compact enclosure is easy to transport, set up and break down. Small footprint takes up considerably less space than traditional bass cabs. Interlocking end caps let you securely stack two modules together on their sides.

Efficient speaker design features two 10" drivers that produce deep bass from a small enclosure. Three level settings provide flexibility. When connected to power stand, active equalization circuitry automatically adjusts signal appropriately.

ToneMatch audio engine

Provides four independent channels featuring a library of ToneMatch instrument and microphone presets, proprietary zEQ and a complete suite of studio-class effects and sound processors.

ToneMatch presets optimize L1 system to match the intended natural sound of specific instruments and vocal mics. More than 100 presets are organized into quick-access banks and can be independently assigned to each channel. Updates via USB.

Proprietary zEQ automatically adjusts the range of tone controls to match your voice or instrument, making it easier to fine-tune your sound. zEQ appropriately redefines low-, mid- and high-frequency ranges of specified sources.

Single-band ParaEQ centers on frequency you specify for each independent channel. Valuable tool for reshaping problematic frequencies in certain venues.

Five reverb types (small, medium, large, plate and cavern) available for global assignment, with individual channel controls for decay time, mix level and brightness.

Three delay types (analog, digital and tape) can be independently assigned to selected channels, with control over feedback time and mix level for each channel.

Ten modulation effects (three chorus types, two flange types, four phaser types and one vintage tremolo effect) can be independently assigned to selected channels, with control over designated parameters for each channel.

Seven dynamics processing types (three compressors, limiter, de-esser, kick gate and noise gate) can be assigned to independent channels.

Scenes allow you to store, recall and edit "snapshots" of all key ToneMatch audio engine settings at any given time. The engine includes five predefined Bose scenes, five My scenes and five Shared scenes, you can give to other L1 owners.

Chromatic tuner for convenient tuning of instruments. Large backlit display with intuitive layout and easy-to-read text for modes and settings.

Rotary encoder for quick access to modes, effects and parameters, including ToneMatch presets, zEQ, ParaEQ, reverbs, delays, modulators, dynamics processing, scenes and tuner. Features clean, circular layout.

Aux mode (channels 1 - 3) sends channels' dry, pre-fader or post-fader audio to aux output for connection to additional L1 systems or recording devices. Independent level controls for optimal signal output.

Channel volume, mute and FX mute (1 - 4/5) for adjusting individual channel volume, muting individual channels and muting all effects on selected channels. Master volume adjusts the overall level of master output.

Phantom power applies +48V power to input channels 1 - 3 to drive specific microphones.

ToneMatch cable transfers audio signals and provides power to ToneMatch audio engine from L1 power stand. Cover and carrying case help protect the engine when storing and transporting.
