BOSE L1 PRO16
A BALANCE OF POWER AND PORTABILITY
Move fast and play low. The L1 Pro16 lets you do more of both. For DJs, singer-songwriters, and small groups, the L1 Pro16 is a portable PA with a sweet-spot balance of power and portability, offering high output and extended low frequency. A powerful 16-driver articulated J-shape line array gives you 180 degrees of horizontal sound coverage, filling small-tomedium sized clubs, bars, and other venues with rich, detailed sound.
BOSE L1 PRO16 PORTABLE LINE ARRAY
YOU FOUND THE SWEET SPOT
The “big brother” to the Bose L1 Pro8, the L1 Pro16 has a larger line array and larger integrated subwoofer. While the L1 Pro8 has a 8-driver C-shape array, the L1 Pro16 has a 16-driver, J-shape array. Both have built-in subwoofers with a RaceTrack driver — the L1 Pro8 has a 7" × 13" driver, and the L1 Pro16 has 10" × 18" neodymium driver. So, with the L1 Pro16, you're getting more powerful SPL and bass, but it's still highly portable — the sweet spot.
Integrated RaceTrack subwoofer
BASS WITHOUT THE BULK
You’ve may have seen RaceTrackstyle drivers before. But never like this. Through dedicated, painstaking engineering, Bose created a subwoofer that delivers something better and different — a slim, highly portable, incredibly powerful design that easily fits on stage and effortless fills out your sound. The integrated subwoofer in L1 Pro8 features a 7" × 13" RaceTrack driver, giving you performance that rivals a conventional 12" woofer without the cumbersome size.
VERSATILE COVERAGE
The L1 Pro16 has a J-shape line array featuring 16 articulated 2" neodymium drivers. As with every Bose L1 system, you get legendary 180-degree horizontal sound coverage, allowing your audience to hear clearly even off to the extreme sides. One key difference with the L1 Pro16 is its J-shape array. This gives you tight vertical control on top, wide dispersion on the bottom to cover audiences whether its set up on the floor or on an elevated stage — versatile coverage.
The Bose L1 Mix App
With the L1 Mix app, you can adjust mixer settings instantly from your phone 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 L1 Mix app, you get the connectivity that empowers your performance via controls that are intuitive and instant.

Bose DJs are on the move!
I purchased 2 L1 Pro 16s for my DJ and event service. These units are super compact and versatile. They’ve saved me so much time in regards to set up and tear down. Sound quality is unmatched. I’m a QSC guy so it was difficult for me to compare this system to QSCs. The trade off for me was the sound quality the Bose packed in such a compact unit. Again, I can’t compare this system to a K12.2 matched with a KW181 but if you’ve ever lugged all that equipment around, you know what I’m mean lol. The Bose is crisp, clear, and fills up the room beautifully. The aesthetics make for a clean and subtle look packed with tons of power.

We have four "legacy" JBL Eon One One Column units which we use in a wide variety of use cases and venues. They were simple to operate and easy to transport, especially with the rolling case. After one amplifier failed, we purchased a Bose L1 Pro 16. The Bose transport case cost $325. To our surprise, the Bose L1 Pro 16 fits reasonably into our existing JBL Eon One One rolling transport case!
I suspect that the L1 will out perform our JBL Eon One One for _outdoor_ sound reinforcement and at twice the cost of the discontinued JBL. The L1 maintains the simple user experience of the JBL Eon One One, including Bluetooth connectivity. It adds support for phantom power. The L1 is not as portable as the JBL since the column is stored in a second case and the column connection system seems superior to the JBL.
I detracted one star due to poor software compatibility with Mac OSX 13. I installed the Bose Firmware Program using Google Chrome as instructed. I installed and launched the program and connected to Bose only to get a flashing endless loop. As a result, I am unable to check the firmware version or upgrade the L1. On the other hand, my L1 works just fine without any firmware update.
The Bose iPhone app does add remote control and the ability to select equalization curves for a number of microphones such as the SM58 (mic) and various guitars (inst.). These presets are not available on the L1 directly and require the use of the remote app. The iPhone remote app is a big buggy as the program often becomes unresponsive when trying to return to a previous screen. If I am persistent, the app does eventually respond. So, to me, the remote control app is useful for live sound by controlling volume at the Home Screen. It is also useful for pre-programming the preset IQ prior to an event.
My personal use case is live jazz sound reinforcement, clarinet and vocals. My experience is in indoor sound reinforcement (using a traditional PreSonus sound board and flying speakers) and outdoor sound reinforcement using a PreSonus Rack Mounted Wireless Controlled unit with three powered Column Speakers.
