Bose F1 Model 812 Flexible Array Loudspeaker – UK

Bose F1 Model 812 230V UK flexible array loudspeaker

The Bose F1 Model 812 is a portable, standalone powered loudspeaker built around Bose Flexible Array technology, combining a 12 inch high-power woofer with an array of eight high-output mid/high-frequency drivers. These nine transducers are supported by a lower crossover point than found in conventional loudspeakers, giving clearer, more natural vocal and midrange reproduction even at high playback volumes, backed by a 1000-watt Class D amplifier delivering full-range sound from a single portable enclosure.

The defining feature of the F1 Model 812 is its adjustable vertical coverage pattern. The eight mid/high drivers are mounted on a specially designed flexible baffle, hinged in two locations, which can be pushed or pulled by hand into Straight, C, J or Reverse J configurations to match the venue: floor level performances, elevated stages facing a dance floor, raked seating, or bleacher-style audiences. Once a pattern is selected, the loudspeaker’s internal EQ automatically updates to maintain optimum tonal balance for that specific configuration.

Input flexibility covers a wide range of sources through a combination XLR/quarter-inch jack, a dedicated quarter-inch instrument input and a stereo RCA pair, letting microphones, instruments, keyboards and media players connect directly without an external mixer. Rear panel controls include volume, input sensitivity selection and front LED function select, while an XLR line output allows daisy-chaining to additional loudspeakers.

Built-in carrying handles and a pole cup compatible with standard 35mm speaker stands make the F1 Model 812 easy to transport and set up solo. This UK-market unit ships with a 230V power configuration and IEC power cord, and pairs with the optional Bose F1 Subwoofer, whose integrated stand and cable channels let the loudspeaker mount directly on top of the sub for a clean, complete PA system delivering up to 2000 watts combined.
