Let’s get straight to the point:
POSITIVES:
-Has that sound quality you expect from Bose
-Built-in mixer with phantom power, bluetooth, XLR or 1/4 input, XLR output
-Bose L1 app that duplicates the mixer, so you can control treble, volume, etc.
-New RaceTrack subwoofer design, it got that thump
-Portable, like previous L1 models, but seriously everything is built-in, must for DJs
NEGATIVES:
-Like most reviews on YouTube, everyone complains about the plastic extension column, lacks a true, snug fit, while the 16 speaker column itself is a quality, metal material
-Again, like most reviews, there is a high pitched noise coming from the speaker even when nothing is playing or connected to it. Not loud, it’s subtle, but it is there.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
The plastic extension column piece isn’t necessary, but it does raise the speaker a few inches, allowing for it’s J shaped line array to work it’s magic for a crowd if placed on a stage. Most of the time music will be playing through the speaker anyway so maybe you won’t really notice the slight pitch. Maybe you’ll hear it if you’re close to it or if someone is just speaking? If you can get past these cons then sure, grab it. Unfortunately I can’t really test it at a large venue or in front of a large audience due to COVID. Not too bad for the 3rd generation L1 models, can’t complain about portability and everything being built-in. Not everything is perfect.

I am a member of a 3 piece band. Acoustic guitar, electric bass, and electronic drums. All of us sing as well. All instruments and vocals are connected to a Bose T8S mixer then to an L1 system. The normal system we used was the L1 Model II with one B2 Bass module. I have recently purchased the L1 Pro 16 and we are all very happy with the sound quality of the system. The column does have a “wobble” but still seems very sturdy. Our usual setup has the speaker system behind us so there is very minimal risk of anyone bumping into it. The power and quality of the L1 Pro 16 is more than sufficient for most of our gigs with the added feature of better portability. I am well pleased with my purchase. As a side note, I also currently own (2) L1 Model II with B2 Bass Module, (2) S1 Pro, (1) L1 Compact. My brother (guitar) and I (drums) have been band mates since 1981 and have been using Bose systems for over 10 years. As I get older, portability becomes a major issue. Bose PA systems have met and even surpassed our expectations for vocal clarity and sound dispersion and the L1 Pro 16 is an asset we will definitely use the most.

I had my doubts, but this Bose Speaker is probably the loudest you’ll hear. I get a lot of compliments on it. The sound is clear and BASS is loud.
