High power. Full range. Flexible sound.
Powerful, standalone sound that flexes to meet your coverage needs—the Bose F1 Model 812 is a 1,000-watt, full-range loudspeaker featuring Bose Flexible Array technology. At the heart of the F1 is a 12" woofer nested behind an array of eight high-output drivers. These nine speakers are supported by a lower crossover point than conventional loudspeakers—to give full voice to your sound and deliver clearer, more natural vocals and midrange clarity, even at high volumes.
Flexible Array Technology
This 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. 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. With the Bose F1 Model 812, your sound stands alone.
Optional High-Power F1 Subwoofer
For extended bass response, the Bose F1 Subwoofer (sold separately) 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 stored right in the body of the subwoofer, making setup fast and easy. The stand even includes cable channels to neatly hide the wires. Plus, the loudspeaker and subwoofer feature highly durable enclosures to ensure easy transport and years of reliability.
