The Bose
®
F1 Model 812 Flexible Array Loudspeaker is the first powered portable loudspeaker that lets you control
its vertical coverage pattern. Simply push or pull the array into position to create “Straight,” “C,” “J” or “Reverse J”
coverage patterns. And once set, the system automatically changes the EQ to maintain optimum tonal balance for
each coverage pattern. So whether you’re playing at floor level, on a stage, or facing raked seats or bleachers, you can
now adapt your PA to match the room.
Engineered with an array of eight high-output mid/high drivers, a high-powered 12" woofer and a lower crossover
point, the loudspeaker delivers high SPL performance while maintaining vocal and midrange clarity that’s dramatically
better than conventional loudspeakers.
For extended bass response, the Bose F1 Subwoofer packs all the power of a larger bass box into a more compact
design that’s easier to carry and fits in a car. A mounting stand for the loudspeaker is integrated right into the body of
the subwoofer, so you always know where it is, making setup fast and easy. The stand even includes cable channels to
neatly hide the wires.
The loudspeaker and subwoofer each have 1,000 watts of power, so you can fill nearly any venue with sound.
And now getting there is easier, too. The loudspeaker and subwoofer feature light weight, high impact composite
materials and strategically placed handles for easy transport.
For the first time, the F1 Model 812 Loudspeaker allows you to focus sound where it’s needed. So no matter where
you perform, your PA has you covered.
