FEATURES
- Two high-excursion drivers, each measuring 10 inches, are built into a compact enclosure that is light and easy to transport
- Polarity switch to adjust polarity of subwoofer. Selections are NORM and REV. Reversing polarity allows for easy correction of low-frequency overlap between the main loudspeaker and subwoofer
- Line output EQ sets the F1 Subwoofer’s output to a high-pass filter or full range, which allows for easy crossover selection when used with a main loudspeaker
- F1 Model 812 extension bracket is a unique bracket integrated into the subwoofer. This bracket can be raised and lowered by the end user, allowing the F1 Model 812 loudspeaker to be safely mounted to the subwoofer. The bracket eliminates the need for a conventional pole mount or tripod stand

The Bose F1 Model 812 flexible array loudspeaker is the first powered loudspeaker that delivers the benefits of an adjustable array in a portable system package. Its unique flexible baffle allows you to tailor the loudspeaker’s vertical coverage to a wide variety of listening environments. Simply push or pull the array into position to create “Straight,” “C,” “J” or “Reverse J” coverage patterns. Once set, the system automatically updates 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 adapt your PA to the room.
Engineered with an array of eight high-output drivers, a high-powered 12-inch woofer and a lower crossover point, the loudspeaker delivers full-range, high-SPL performance while maintaining vocal and midrange clarity that’s dramatically better than conventional loudspeakers.
The Bose F1 subwoofer 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 wires.
The loudspeaker and subwoofer combined deliver 2,000 watts of power, so you can fill nearly any room with sound.
And now getting there is easier, too. The loudspeaker and subwoofer feature strategically-placed handles for easy transportation.
Current popular powered loudspeakers are standard two-way designs consisting of a single horn-loaded compression driver for high-frequency reproduction and a single woofer for mid- and low-mid-frequency output.
Since the Bose F1 Model 812 loudspeaker has an array of eight high-output drivers, mid/high-frequency response is much cleaner and less harsh sounding when compared to a traditional horn.
Characteristically, horns have a fixed output pattern that isn’t adaptable to typical performance spaces. These fixed-pattern loudspeakers are commonly positioned on pole mount stands where high-frequency content is projected over listeners’ heads, making vocal intelligibility difficult.
The Bose F1 Model 812 flexible array is quite useful for quickly and easily adjusting the loudspeaker’s coverage for a variety of performance and listening spaces, ensuring quality reproduction without the need for complex placement.
The eight drivers on the F1 Model 812 flexible array are mounted on a specially designed flexible baffle that is hinged in two locations. When the array position is changed, the loudspeaker’s internal EQ automatically changes according to the array’s position: “Straight,” “C,” “J” or “Reverse J.” This allows the loudspeaker to maintain tonal balance no matter which position is used.
Yes. The high-output 12-inch woofer is mounted behind the flexible array.
Yes, there is a pole cup on the bottom of the enclosure that accepts common tripod speaker stands.
For best performance, we recommend using the Bose F1 subwoofer. However, other powered subs can be connected to the F1 Model 812 loudspeaker.
The F1 subwoofer is a compact bass module designed for use with the F1 Model 812 loudspeaker. Its powerful amplifier and dual drivers produce bass as much as subs nearly double its size.
The F1 subwoofer features:
- 2 X 10″ high-excursion drivers
- 1,000 watts
- 2 x input channel with XLR, 0.25-inch combo connector
- 2 x XLR balanced line out
- Polarity reverse switch
- HPF enable
We recommend one sub per F1 Model 812 loudspeaker. However, you can connect as many as needed.
Yes. Bose Professional L1® systems can be used in conjunction with the F1 Model 812 loudspeaker as a supplemental fill or stage monitor.
