Bose L1 Classic Model 1 Portable PA System in Excellent Working Condition

Includes the cylindrical radiator tower with 4-channel base, the B1 subwoofer, all needed cables, the remote, original carry bags and all manuals/paperwork. The line array column (tower) is a two-piece top section and includes 24 2-1/2" drivers. The PS1 Power Stand includes an integrated 4-channel mixer. The B1 subwoofer has two 5.25" drivers. Includes the R1 wired remote control. Fully tested, incredible 180 degree sound coverage, plenty of volume for 150 person venues. No feedback! Eliminates need for separate stage monitors.

I bought this Bose system over 20 years ago and have used it primarily for house concerts.  It has always sounded great, the clarity of a Bose tower is far better than nearly all standard club house PAs. The vocals are SO clear, so your lyrics are very easy to hear through a band mix.  I have used it only about 50 times over two decades.  Has never needed a repair.  Has all protective cases for the base, each of the two tower sections and the B1 subwoofer.

I am in my 70s and no longer need it.  There is a small dent in the top of the base, where a bandmate inadvertantly dropped a laptop on it (the corner hit), but not really noticeable (covered with color-matching tape) and absolutely no impact on functionality.

All cables, plus the remote to control high, mid and low frequency vocals on two of the four channels. It has two XLR inputs plus two 1/4” instrument cable inputs.  Great for a duo without a mixer, a full band using a mixer, DJ's or presentations. I have used it in a band with and without drums - the vocals really cut through the mix. New Bose towers of comparable projection cost over $3,000!

I live in the lower hills of Oakland, where you could come test it out. These typically sell for $700-$750, but I do not want multiple visits from assorted potential buyers - so it is priced to go quickly!
