## Overview

The Bose F1 Model 812 Flexible Array Loudspeaker delivers unmatched versatility with its exclusive flexible array that can be configured into four distinct vertical coverage patterns. Powered by 1000 watts through dual Class-D amplifiers, it offers crystal-clear sound with a robust 12-inch woofer and an 8-driver mid/high line array featuring custom 100° waveguides. Designed for live performances, it provides independent dual-channel control and automatic EQ adjustment to maintain tonal balance across configurations. Lightweight and portable, it pairs seamlessly with the Bose F1 Subwoofer for extended bass, making it the ultimate pro-level PA solution for adaptable, high-impact sound.

## Description

The Bose F1 Model 812 Flexible Array Loudspeaker is the first powered portable loudspeaker that lets you control its vertical coverage pattern. Simply push or pull the array into position to create “Straight,” “C,” “J” or “Reverse J” coverage patterns. And once set, the system automatically changes 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 now adapt your PA to match the room. If you want extended bass response, simply add the Bose F1 Subwoofer (sold separately). It 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 integrated right into the body of the subwoofer, so you always know where it is, making setup fast and easy. Frequency response (-3 dB) is 52 Hz - 16 kHz

Review: Crystal Clear Sound - I'm in a cover band and we play for venues up to 300. We run vocals, keyboard, and guitars into the T1 Tone Match mixer first then feed a line out to the F1. The sound is clear and powerful. The 12" woofer can produce impressive low bass extension. Vocals are articulate and sounds very natural. Experiment with the position of the top and bottom array panels. The overall sound changes dramatically depending on the pattern selected. Straight forward firing produces the most neutral flat sound. Only bending the top produces the most high end. Only bending the bottom yields a little more mid and slightly increased high end. Bending both top and bottom produces the best overall sound balance in my opinion. I keep mine in this configuration 100% of the time. Highly recommended playing around with the different configuration during sound check. The only warning is this speaker has a propensity for feedback. Recommend positioning the F1 in front of the band and use monitors. We tried placing the F1 behind us similar to an L1 setup and feedback was a major concern. The microphones would constantly screamed at higher volume. We achieved an ideal setup by using both the L1 behind us to act as a monitor and the F1 in front. Highly recommended!
Review: Perfect speaker even by itself. - I honestly have nothing bad to say about this speaker. The sound is clear and well balanced at any level. I've used it paired with the F1 subwoofer and they really are a compliment to one another. I've had a few occasions when I only used the F1 812 and it still had enough base to turn heads, but not over powering. My only complaint is that it seems the sound is flatter when in full forward configuration. When in J or C configurations, the highs and lows are enhanced while the mids are lowered. Good thing when it's paired with the sub and on the supplied stand, it's the perfect height when in the floor that you can keep it in the full forward configuration.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great speaker for a large gym
*by E***E on April 19, 2024*

I did a lot of research on this speaker before purchasing and couldn’t find any reviews on it being used in a gym setting, so this is for all my gym’ers: It’s great for a large gym setting…think your typical CrossFit box size. I have the base set at 50% and didn’t even hit 50% on my phone before not being able to hear anything over the sound. It has EXCELLENT clarity. I used my phone with AV cable to USB-C and the setup couldn’t have been easier: literally just plug it in and play. The bass is awesome. The 12 inch subwoofer placement really makes the sound whole. I do think I’ll end up buying the bass model, also, but that’s no reflection on this model. Bose really knocked it out of the park, I mean it’s really beautiful, clear sound, and the projection is amazing. I played around with the snapping array flat/down/up and it’s very easy, it truly does change not just the projection of the sound but the sound itself. I think if you have a pretty small garage gym in a neighborhood with houses on top of each other this speaker might be a bit too much to handle since you probably won’t be able to blast it. Very mobile, I didn’t bother to pull out a tape measure on the dimensions, but it’s pretty compact. Not some huge, cumbersome thing. The only other thing I wanted to add was to the seller — first of all the warranty IS valid, I know someone else wrote theirs wasn’t, mine was. They also delivered it very, very quickly. I think I had it under 36 hours after ordering it. Get this speaker, it’s worth every penny!
