Picture it: Framingham, Massachusetts, 1964. Amar Bose is just about to introduce the world to a new brand of speakers called Bose. Since that moment, Bose has been one of the top brands for speakers in part because of its dynamic bass response and classy look. What’s different between Bose and other sound speakers? Bose incorporates low frequency response in even the smallest of their products, while other brands do not. Today Bose manufactures CD players, speakers, home theater systems, and car stereos. Not only does Bose provide one of the top sound systems for the public, but musicians have also used it for their PA (public address) system.
One of the most popular PA system from Bose is their L1 Portable PA. The L1 has been praised for its overall portability and lightweight nature. The highest praise for these PA systems is that they are easy to travel with and help cut your set up time in half. But don’t let the L1’s small size fool you, it has a strong clear sound and is very durable. A lot of musicians claim that it’s one of the best PA choices for small rooms and medium sized bars. Another benefit for this PA system is that there is no need for monitors or amps, an especial plus when it is used with electronic drum sets. The L1 comes with two inputs, which allows electronic drummers hook up their set straight into the speaker.
Drummers also purchase Bose’s B1 bass module as an accessory to the L1. The B1 bass module functions as a small sub, which can be quite efficient when hooking up the kick drum. The L1 system with B1 bass module accessory has a lot of positive feedback. Bose’s L1 Model II System With Dual B1 Bass Module and Tonematch is also available for purchase, which basically presents a complete package for the drummer.

Thieir PA systems alone illustrate why Bose has been a powerhouse of the audio industry for the last fifty years. Even though the company is mostly known for its entertainment products, it also provides great products for the professional musician. Any musician that is looking for an easy and quick setup for their live performances in mostly small or medium sized venues cannot go wrong with Bose.
