Introduction
Product 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.
Engineered with an array of eight high-output mid/high drivers, a high-powered 12" woofer and a lower crossover
point, the loudspeaker delivers high SPL performance while maintaining vocal and midrange clarity that’s dramatically
better than conventional loudspeakers.
For extended bass response, the Bose F1 Subwoofer 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. The stand even includes cable channels to
neatly hide the wires.
The loudspeaker and subwoofer each have 1,000 watts of power, so you can fill nearly any venue with sound.
And now getting there is easier, too. The loudspeaker and subwoofer feature light weight, high impact composite
materials and strategically placed handles for easy transport.
For the first time, the F1 Model 812 Loudspeaker allows you to focus sound where it’s needed. So no matter where
you perform, your PA has you covered.
Features and Benefits
• The flexible, eight-loudspeaker array of the F1 Model 812 allows you to select one of four coverage patterns to direct
sound to where the audience is located resulting in better overall clarity throughout the venue.
• The vertical orientation of the eight-driver loudspeaker array helps deliver wide, consistent sound coverage,
providing better clarity and tonal balance for speech, music, and instruments.
• F1 Subwoofer provides a unique built-in speaker stand for the F1 Model 812, eliminating the need for a conventional
pole mount.
• Attractive design creates a unique system with a rugged but professional look.
• The bi-amplified design includes powerful, lightweight amplifiers that provide consistent output over long durations
with extended dynamic range and lower operating temperatures.

Introduction
Using the Flexible Array
You can shape the coverage pattern by moving the position of the top and bottom array. The array position is held in
place by magnets that trigger internal sensors that adjust EQ according to array shape.
Adjusting the array
Pushing the array in Pulling the array out

Push top and bottom array in.
6 - English
Applications
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.
Introduction
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.

Care and Maintenance
Problem What to do
Excessive Noise or System
Hum
• When connecting a microphone to the F1 Model 812 Loudspeaker, make sure the INPUT 1,
SIGNAL INPUT switch is set to MIC.
• Check to make sure that all system connections are secure. Lines that are not completely
connected could create noise.
• If using a mixing console, external source or receiving input from the F1 Subwoofer, make sure
the INPUT 1 SIGNAL INPUT switch on the F1 Model 812 Loudspeaker is set to LINE.
• For best results, use balanced (XLR) connections on the system inputs.
• Keep all signal-carrying cables away from AC power cords.
• Light dimmers can cause hum in loudspeaker systems. To avoid this, plug the system into a
circuit that is not controlling lights or dimmer packs.
• Plug the audio system components into power outlets that share a common ground.
• Check cables at mixing console inputs by muting channels. If the hum goes away, replace the
cable at that mixing console channel.

Indledning
Produktbeskrivelse
Bose® F1 Model 812 Flexible Array højttaleren er den første aktive bærbare højttaler, der lader dig styre dens lodrette
dækningsmønster. Du skal blot skubbe eller trække array-enhederne i stilling for at skabe dækningsmønstrene “Lige”,
“C”, “J” eller “Omvendt J”. Når dækningsmønstret er indstillet, ændrer systemet automatisk EQ'en, så den optimale
tonebalance for hvert enkelt dækningsmønster opretholdes. Så uanset om du spiller på gulvniveau, på en scene eller
vendt mod hældende sæderækker eller tribuner, kan du tilpasse dit PA-anlæg, så det matcher rummet.
Højttaleren, der er designet med en række bestående af otte mellemtone/diskant-drivere med høj effekt, en
højeffekts-woofer på 12" og et lavere overgangspunkt, leverer høj SPL-ydeevne, mens der bevares en vokal- og
mellemtoneklarhed, der er markant bedre end fra almindelige højttalere.
Bose F1 subwooferen har forøget basrespons og har samme kraft som en større basenhed, men i et mere kompakt
design, der er nemt at tage med sig, og som passer i en bil. Et højttalerstativ er integreret direkte i subwooferens
kabinet, så opsætningen er hurtig og nem, og du ved altid, hvor det er. Stativet omfatter endda kabelgange til nemt at
skjule kablerne.
Højttaleren og subwooferen har hver en effekt på 1.000 watt, så du kan fylde næsten ethvert spillested med lyd.
Og nu er det også nemmere at komme frem. Højttaleren og subwooferen består af sammensatte letvægtsmaterialer af
kraftig kvalitet og strategisk placerede håndtag til nem transport.
Med F1 Model 812 højttaleren kan du for første gang fokusere lyden, hvor der er behov for den. Så uanset hvor du
optræder, er du dækket ind med dit PA-anlæg.
Funktioner og Fordele
• Med den fleksible F1 Model 812 højttaler bestående af otte enheder kan du vælge blandt fire dækningsmønstre til
at retningsbestemme lyden mod publikums placering og derved opnå en bedre overordnet klarhed fordelt over hele
spillestedet.
• Den lodrette placering af højttalerens otte enheder sikrer en bred, konsistent lyddækning, der giver bedre klarhed og
tonebalance til tale, musik og instrumenter.
• F1 subwooferen har et unikt, indbygget højttalerstativ til F1 Model 812 højttaleren, der overflødiggør behovet for
almindelig stativmontering.
• Det attraktive design giver et unikt system med et robust, men professionelt udseende.
• Det dobbeltforstærkede design omfatter kraftfulde letvægtsforstærkere, der leverer et konsistent output ved lang tids
brug og med udvidet dynamisk rækkevidde og lavere driftstemperaturer.
