Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. can I plug my Mackie mixer into it for more inputs?

A: Yes, you can connect into the 1/4-inch line inputs from a mixer for additional channels.

Q: 2. How many additional L1 PRO8 speakers can I connect? Can i use an unmanaged switch to create a 4 unit PA?

A: The RJ45-style network connectors on the Bose L1 PRO8 Portable Line Array Speaker System with Bluetooth are designed to connect the L1 to the Bose ToneMatch mixers. Each ToneMatch can connect to two L1 towers (one left, one right). The L1 PRO8 also features a dedicated line output connection via XLR that could be used to daisy chain and feed signal to other speakers.

Q: 3. Does it come with rubber antenna ?

A: The iFi audio ZEN Air Blue Bluetooth Audio Receiver does not come with an antenna.

Q: 4. Will this work with Godox, Profoto, and other studio strobes? I've been waiting for Nissin to make an equivalent strobe like the Profoto B2 for more power than their current offering. So will this trigger studio strobes with TTL and most importantly HSS?

A: No it will not trigger your strobes with TTL or HSS. The Air R receiver is primarily made to work with Sony MIS flashes. In this case, it will support TTL and HSS with those flashes. The Air R receiver does have a PC out so you can trigger a studio strobe but that is all. You would have no control what so ever of the studio strobe.

Q: 5. Can you connect additional speakers?

A: Yes, the Bose L1 PRO8 Portable Line Array Speaker System with Bluetooth features an XLR M Line Out connection for sending signal to other speakers.

Q: 6. It is 110V, 220V or BiVolt ?

A: This uses 100-240 V AC power, that will work internationally. You may need an adapter for the wall outlet, depending on the region.

Q: 7. Will Sony flashes (HVL-F43AM via Adapter ADP-AMA, or HVL-F43M without adapter for example) work with Nissin Air R and Air Commander?

A: I don't know. I bought the Nissin for my Nikon system and could never get them to work so I sent them back. Look at Phottix or Godox (sold under many names) for my wireless trigge/commander for a better system. I ended up getting both and love them.

Q: 8. I have several Metz 64 ttl flashes for Sony. Would I be able to use the Nissin air R and a Nissin air transmitter to trigger my Metz 64 ttl flashes?

A: It should work according to Nissin as long as all of the flashes have the same multi-interface hotshoe.but only testing will tell.

Q: 9. what is max power draw for bose l1 pro 8 ?

A: For the Bose L1 PRO8; 60W for the speakers, 240W for the subwoofers.

Q: 10. Will a Nissin Air commander on a Sony mirrorless allow TTL to transmit to a Nissin Air Receiver for Nikon attached to a Nikon Speedlight? I'd like to use my a6300 with my Nikon flashes that I already own using the Nissin Air system. Will this work since they the receiver and commander are paired and can talk to each other?

A: This combination will not give you TTL control, of your Nikon flashes, only manual control. When using the Nissin Air R Receiver with the Nissin Air 1 Commander, they both must be of the same make, i.e. Nikon/Nikon. Sony/Sony in order to maintain TTL control.

[Neodymium] I have been very impressed with my new Bose PA system that I use with my Yamaha YX-73 Stage Piano and Mainstage.
The bluetooth connectivity is superb and opens up many possibilities for both practice, rehearsing and public performance.
Only three channels, but it's so much easier to manage than having mixing board, amps, speakers, wires...etc.

[1] I had and old L1 Pro8 but this L1 PRo 16 is out of the world. I just use midle volume because is explosive with the best quality in the sound and the voices.

[1.9 GHz] Great cover. Sturdy. Not padded but just what I wanted to keep unit from getting scratched.

[7 Ah] I love this kit! The footprint is only as big as the bass unit, so no cumbersome stand-mounted speakers to fiddle with. I like that there are three inputs built in, so you can do more with this version than you could with the previous version without also buying an external mixer.

I use this for acoustic guitar and vocals, both of which are first run through a TC Helicon. I know it sounds great that way, but have not yet tested it without the Helicon. With my current kit, I definitely sound better than I really do.


For now, this is set up in my dining room, and I'm playing for an imaginary audience. But as soon as I'm up for it, I no longer have the excuse that I don't have the gear to do a proper gig. I have other excuses, but am working on those, too.


Down side? The box was mangled pretty badly by the time FedEx made the delivery three days late, but nothing inside was damaged. For $1,800, it would have been nice for Bose to include a cover for the bass unit along with the very nice carrying case that was included for the stick speaker units. Also, I love the bluetooth remote controls that mimic the controls on the back of the bass unit, but it would be nice if there was a master volume control included. As it is, you have to adjust each input separately.

[54 lb] Clarity and powerful. I watched a few reviews on the Bose L1 16 Pro. I picked up one and absolutely love it. You can pump this speaker at full power and no distortion. I'm so impressed with the speaker I plan to buy another one in the future.

[Neodymium] Perfect for small and medium venues. Plenty of power great base for a full sound. I would recommend adding the tone match for added inputs and ease of adjustment.
