UK - Bose has introduced the new L1 Compact portable line array system, the latest - and most portable-- addition to the Bose L1 product line. Using advanced Bose technologies, an L1 Compact system fills the room with only one speaker, and can be carried in a single trip and set up in less than one minute.

The new L1 Compact system features an integrated low-frequency enclosure and combines the amplifier, monitor, PA, mixer and EQ into a complete audio system ready for simple connection to an instrument, microphone, MP3 player, computer or other audio device. Like the Bose L1model I and L1 model II systems, the L1 Compact system continues the legacy of the original Bose Cylindrical Radiator loudspeaker - the product to first introduce the company's individual approach to live music amplification. The L1 Compact system was engineered to bring much of the performance benefits of these systems to a broader audience of musicians, DJs, and other performers and presenters, says the company.

The L1 Compact system features a 14" line array and offers two distinct setup configurations: extended (68" tall) for larger venues or collapsed (17" tall) for smaller venues, where it can be placed on a table or other elevated surface. There are no heavy tripod stands or complicated speaker wires to connect - just a single AC power cord.
