The Bose® L1 Compact system is for all those times when you need amplified sound and you want to do it yourself. The system is small enough to easily fit in your car, can be carried in one trip and sets up in less than a minute. The design works two ways; in smaller spaces it can be set up in a collapsed table top configuration or, in larger spaces, it can be set up in an extended position. It delivers wide, even coverage throughout the listening area. Just plug in a microphone, iPod, MP3 player or musical instrument, and fill the room with just a single loudspeaker.
