This is accomplished by the patented loudspeaker transducers integrated into the Bose L1 Pro series. They are a stacked set of identical
compact drivers arrayed in an straight vertical line. They are engineered to be closely spaced and operating in phase with equal amplitude.
The drivers will acoustically interact and couple together changing the sound waveform into a single cylindrical waveform known as line
source or line array. This acoustical interaction creates multiple advantages that are explained on the following pages.
The Bose L1 Pro series incorporates line array technology that provides advantages compared to a traditional point source portable PA
loudspeaker. In general, line array technology provides more targeted audience coverage as it acoustically aims its sound energy to the
intended listening area and away from non-intended areas like the ceiling or floors.
Each of these advantages will be further explained over the next pages
