Why trust Rich Audio?

The Rich Audio difference is real-world experience with the Bose Professional Portable products.  Directed by Nick Logan with a history of over 30 years as a wedding MC, event DJ, radio host, and user of nearly every Bose Pro product since 2007.

Instead of looking at speakers in a store and reading the manual, you can buy from the guy who uses the same sort of speakers you do, every weekend!

 

How To Order Bose Professional Audio

There’s no brick-and-mortar store here, Rich Audio is a 100% online business.

While there’s no showroom to hear or see the speakers, I have demo systems available in or near Auckland.  Take a system out to one of your events, or try it at your venue.  Nothing beats using these in a familiar and real performance environment to get a true idea of how well they will work for you.

Not sure which L1 Pro system is right for you?  Let’s have a chat!  I use the L1 Pro and F1 812 systems myself and I’m happy to share my experience to help you decide what will work best.

Your new Bose Pro audio will then be delivered to your door.

About Nick Logan

Nick Logan is an Auckland based wedding MC, and event DJ at Nick Logan Ltd, and Bose fanatic at Rich Audio, Bose authorised retailer.

Having used every one of the portable Bose Professional range since 2008, I have a good grasp of what works, how it works, and how to make it sound right.  Back in 2008 it took me a few weeks of regular use to truly understand why the Bose L1 Model 1 was so different to anything I’d experienced.

I’ve owned or used L1 Model 1, L1 Compact, L1 Model 2 (Model II), F1 subs, F1 812, L1s, and S1 Pro.  As a working DJ actually using the equipment, I can offer a unique “real-world” perspective unmatched by anyone else in New Zealand.
