The Bose F1 Model 812 is a powered PA speaker built around a flexible line array. Its eight-driver mid/high section sits in a baffle you can bend into four shapes — Straight, C, J or Reverse J — so coverage can be aimed at a floor crowd, a raised stage or a narrow room. A 12-inch woofer and two Class-D amplifiers handle the low end and the array separately, with EQ adjusted automatically for each pattern. It is heavier and bulkier than a plain two-way box, and it competes with column arrays and conventional powered speakers on coverage control rather than on loudness alone.

Owners and working musicians generally rate the F1 Model 812 highly for its adjustable coverage and clean, loud output. The most common complaints are weight and the price of the flexible-array design.
The Bose F1 Model 812 is a powered PA loudspeaker sold as a pair. Each speaker has a flexible array of eight drivers for the mid and high frequencies and a 12-inch driver for the lows. The eight drivers sit in a vertical line array with a custom 100° waveguide, which gives wide, consistent coverage.
The array's baffle can be set into four shapes: Straight, C, J or Reverse J. The system automatically adjusts its EQ to keep the tonal balance right for each coverage pattern.
Each speaker is bi-amplified. Two high-output Class-D amplifiers power the array and the 12-inch low-frequency driver separately. There are two input channels with independent volume controls, and Channel 1 has a Line Level/Mic switch.
