Bose F1 Model 812 Powered Flexible Array Portable Loudspeaker – Passive

The Bose® F1 Model 812 Passive Flexible Array Loudspeaker is a small-format full range sound reinforcement loudspeaker with a flexible array that lets you control its vertical coverage pattern. Simply push or pull the flexible array into position to create “Straight,” “C”, “J”, or “Reverse-J” coverage patterns, letting you tailor the loudspeaker’s vertical coverage to a variety of environments and mounting locations.

Engineered with a flexible array of eight high-output mid/high drivers, a high-powered 12-inch woofer, 47 Hz low frequency range and a lower crossover point, the loudspeaker delivers high SPL performance while maintaining vocal and midrange clarity. The F1 Model 812 Passive is intended for use in small to medium sized indoor installations and can also be used in portable applications.

Flex Array Shapes

Straight Pattern Use the straight pattern when the audience is standing and their heads are approximately at the same height as the loudspeaker.	Reverse-J Pattern The reverse-J pattern is good for an audience in raked seating that starts at loudspeaker height and extends above the top of the loudspeaker.
J Pattern The J pattern works well when the loudspeaker is up on a raised stage and the audience is seated below on the floor.	C Pattern Use the C pattern for raked seating in an auditorium when the first row is on the floor with the loudspeaker.
