Whether you're performing on stage, at floor level, or facing tiered seating, this adaptable design delivers optimal audio coverage for any audience.
Optional F1 Subwoofer for Extended Bass

This subwoofer features a unique built-in mounting stand for seamless integration with the loudspeaker, complete with cable management channels for a clean setup. Designed to provide deep, punchy bass without sacrificing portability, it pairs perfectly with the Model 812 to deliver a full-spectrum sound experience. Its durable enclosure ensures reliability for years of demanding live use.

They sound great. Been using the Bose S1's for a couple years now and couldn't be happier for most of the rooms we play. I got the F1 812's for when we play outdoors on the beach, at Festivals and large rooms. Bose is the best sound I've ever experienced. Some would say the price is high...but for the power and clarity, it's worth every penny. My only "complaint" and it's not even that bad is that they are heavy and didn't come with covers to protect it. I know they sell the padded covers, but are over $100 each...which I will likely order soon. Can't wait to let them loose later in the year!!
Yes.. it's excellent...

Would it be a good speaker for karaoke use in a small room? Or is there a smaller and better option? I want to use a mic mixer with it.
This would be a bit overkill as far as using it for Karaoke. Give us a call at 866-498-7882 and we can get you set up with the best fit for your needs.submitted6 years ago

Only 2 inputs, can you plug a mixer into it?
Yes you can. To add more it would have to be daisy chained, but it can be done.
