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 an 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 a 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.
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 it's 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.
