Comparing L1 Pro Power Stands to Subs
The L1 Pro8 and Sub1 use the 7" x 13" Racetrack transducer. The L1 Pro16 and Sub2 use the 10" x 18" Racetrack transducer. The following is a comparison of the performance of the L1 Pro power stands and the Sub1 and Sub2
L1 Pro8 Power Stand compared to Sub1
Both use the 7" x 13" Racetrack transducer
The L1 Pro8 power stand is 31 pounds. The Sub1 is 35.5.
The L1 Pro8 power stand is slightly smaller than the Sub1.
The L1 Pro8 power stand bass amp is 240 watts RMS. The Sub1 is 480 watts RMS.
The L1 Pro8 is 112 dB SPL continuous. The Sub1 is 118 dB SPL continuous.

The L1 Pro16 power stand is slightly smaller than the Sub2.
The L1 Pro16 bass amp is 1000 watts RMS. The Sub2 is 1000 watts RMS.

Quick Tips
L1 Pro Line Out
The XLR Line Output from any L1 Pro contains the sound from all inputs (1, 2, 3, Bluetooth, and ToneMatch Port). That includes
- ToneMatch Presets
- Tone Controls
- Reverb
- The signal from a ToneMatch mixer connected to the ToneMatch port including ToneMatch Presets, zEQ, Reverb, Effects.
The sound is NOT affected by the L1 Pro System EQ setting.
L1 Pro Daisy Chain

L1 Pro System EQ
The System EQ feature on the L1 Pro systems applies an EQ preset to the master output. This is similar to a graphic equalizer on traditional analogue mixers, but it uses four presets instead for quick access. read more — L1 Pro System EQ
L1 Pro32 Half Stack
- Can I operate the L1 Pro32 with only the lower section of the line array?
- Sometimes there is not sufficient height to use the full array
- Yes
- The L1 Pro32 can be used without the upper array. This configuration is useful when a venue ceiling cannot accommodate the height of the L1 Pro32
Source: Page 7 of the L1 Pro32 Owners Guide
- For best results, ensure array is at ear level for listeners
- Unlike the L1 Model II, the L1 Pro32 automatically adjusts the level of the bass output to maintain the appropriate spectral balance.
- It’s a valid use case to use only the bottom array section. In fact, the EQ automatically adjusts to compensate.
Craig Small - Bose
- Half Stack Not Recommended for Small Gigs
Running only the lower section of the Line Array is a workaround when there isn't enough ceiling clearance to use both sections. For small gigs, turn down the volume on the L1 Pro32, don't run without the top section of the array because
- You'll need to elevate the system so the array is at ear level for the audience. Otherwise, the sound will be muffled
- You will reduce your projection over distance. The sound will drop off more over distance.
- You may need to turn up the volume louder than if you were using the full array. As a result, you increase the likelihood of feedback.

ToneMatch Mixers
Engineered with a powerful DSP engine and intuitive user control, the T4S/T8S ToneMatch mixers offer studio-quality EQ, dynamics and effects. Sound great with integrated BoseToneMatch processing and zEQ, especially when connected to a Bose L1 or F1 system for full end-to-end tonal control.
