Bose F1 Model 812

Take Control of Your Sound!
A portable PA with line-array precision
Sweetwater live sound engineers know too well that no two gigs — and no two venues — are created equal. From elevated stages and bandstands to floor-level "cafegymatoriums," every new room presents a PA coverage challenge. But the Bose F1 Model 812 flexible-array loudspeaker offers you a way to shape your speakers' vertical output line-array style, so you can match your system to the needs of the venue. That means you get big-system performance from a portable PA! Bose revolutionized live sound with its L1 Series speakers, and the F1 system delivers a new level of easy setup, rugged durability, and outstanding sound.

Adjustable Sound Coverage Pattern
Tailor your speaker's performance to your situation
When you're onstage and ready to deliver your performance, you need your PA system to focus sound directly to your audience's ears — not over their heads. The Bose F1 Model 812 uses Flex technology, letting you manually change the coverage pattern on the F1. By easily molding the speaker array into C, J, Reverse J, or a straight-on pattern, you can control your coverage pattern.

Adjustable coverage pattern tailors to different situations
Flexible baffle is configurable into four unique shapes
Straight, C, J, and Reverse J pattern options
Automatically changes the EQ for each coverage pattern

All the Benefits of a Line-array System
A 9-speaker array that's about the size of a suitcase
There are many benefits to using a line-array system for your PA setup. For example, you get to control frequency separation on a far greater level. But until now, getting that performance has meant large fly rigs or installations — not exactly convenient for a club band or a touring company with limited cargo space. Luckily, Bose found a way to get everything you love about a professional array in a system that's no larger than your current PA speakers. Their F1 812 flexible-array loudspeaker packs eight 2.25" vertically oriented high/mid drivers and a 12" low-frequency driver. You'll be amazed by how much sound and how much control you have.

Bi-amped for Maximum Efficiency
Separate amps for your high/mid- and low-frequency drivers
To get the most out of the nine separate drivers in the F1 812, you get a 1,000-watt bi-amplified design with two high-output Class D amplifiers. One focuses directly on the Flex array speakers, while the other powers the 12" low-frequency driver to ensure a perfect blend across the whole frequency range. The bi-amped design offers a lower crossover point, ensuring the clarity of the high/mid drivers is never compromised. And for even more sonic punch and separation, pair your F1 812 with the matching Bose F1 subwoofer.

F1 812 and F1 Subwoofer — a Full System
The F1 subwoofer is purpose-built for the F1 system. This compact, 1,000-watt platform with two 10" drivers makes sure your low end stays punchy. Best of all, the whole subwoofer package weighs under 60 lbs, making it your mobile rig's dream sub. And there's no more carrying around pesky speaker stands since the F1 sub comes with a built-in bracket for mounting Bose's F1 812 array speaker. Learn more »
