This is an alphabetized glossary of technical terms used in Bose L1 Pro articles.

Glossary

Array (Line Array)

A vertical stack of small speakers working together to project sound evenly across distances. Wikipedia

Bluetooth Streaming

Wireless audio transmission from mobile devices to the speaker system. Technical Data Sheets

Bose App

Formerly the L1 Mix App, now used to control mixer settings, EQ, and presets wirelessly. Bose Music App

Cardioid Configuration

Subwoofer setup that directs bass forward and cancels it behind—ideal for stage control. Sub Comparison

Coverage Pattern

The angle and shape in which sound spreads—Bose arrays offer 180° horizontal coverage. Reference

Coupling (Subwoofer)

Positioning multiple subs close together to reinforce bass output through acoustic synergy. Sub Comparison

Elevated Stage

Performance platform higher than the audience; affects speaker placement and vertical sound dispersion. Reference

Feedback

High-pitched squeal caused by audio looping between microphone and speaker. Shure

Frequency Response

The range of sound frequencies a speaker can reproduce, typically in Hz. Technical Data Sheets

Mono / Stereo Sound

Mono uses a single channel; stereo splits audio into left/right channels for spatial depth. Reference

Onboard Mixer

Built-in mixing console with inputs for microphones, instruments, and Bluetooth audio. Reference

RaceTrack Subwoofer

A slim, rectangular subwoofer design by Bose that delivers deep bass in a compact form. Sub Comparison

SPL (Sound Pressure Level)

Measurement of loudness in decibels (dB). Higher SPL = louder output. Reference

Throw Distance

How far sound travels effectively before losing clarity or volume. Throw Over Distance

ToneMatch Presets

EQ presets designed by Bose to optimize sound for specific instruments and vocals. ToneMatch Mixers

Venue Depth

Measurement from the stage to the back of a room, important for estimating needed projection. Reference
