Hello friends, long time no see.......
Report on the Bose L1 compact and L1 type II.
www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/speakers/portable_amplification_systems/l1_compact/index.jsp
A friend of mine aquired a Bose L1 type II system for use with his
digital drumset (only a bedroom player...). Having read a little about these system
I decided to try one so i borrowed his setup for my last gig which took place in a
quite big hall, 60 * 30 meters or so and about 5 meters to the ceiling.
I also decided to skip the guitar amp this time so my rig was; Guitar, samson wireless,
yamaha magic stomp (the AC30 amp sim setting), zoom 508 for echoes Strachans programs into
the Bose LI. For backings I used my iphone straight into the LI. The whole rig could be carried
by myself alone if I had chosen to do that. Setting up in less than 5 min.............
The sound check was totally stunning! More than enough to handle this big venue and I did not miss
the stereo one bit which I had expected to do. The sound is almost uf the same loudness and quality
no matter where you are in the hall. I walked round in the room using the wireless and was in constant
amazement!
I had quite a few comments from the audience about the clarity of the sound without being deathening
and quite a few asked me where the sound was coming from...........
I decided that the LI type II was a bit of an overkill so I have now bought a LI Compact which I have already
tested in a hall the size of a medium sized pub and the result was as stunning, the less powerful Compact system
sounded exactly the same as the big type II, and the whole room was filled with sound. Even easier to carry......
The whole setup also does itself justice as an integrated part of my living-room where it sounds equally good at
low sound level.
I will probably use my VOX vtx 60 but only to use the amp modeling, won't need it for monitoring so I will
kill the speaker with an earphone-plug.
Anyone else tried this system?
