From Our Research Team:The Perfect PA for the Singer/Songwriter!The amazing Bose L1 Compact system joins extreme portability with phenomenal sound. At the heart of the speaker system is Bose's Spatial Dispersion loudspeaker technology. It delivers sound evenly both across the stage and throughout the audience — so the Bose L1 Compact is an all-in-one monitoring system and a small- to mid-sized venue PA — despite weighing in at just 29 lbs. You won't even need an external mixer, as there's an integrated 2-channel microphone/instrument mixer on the rear of the Bose L1 Compact.Bose L1 Compact PA Speaker System at a Glance:
Delivers sound to the audience and sound to the stage With one trip from the car to the stage, you'll have your full PA system and monitoring system in one hand — all thanks to Bose's Spatial Dispersion technology. The Bose L1 Compact system has six small drivers inside a vertical enclosure — all positioned at precise angles. The result is nearly 180 degrees of even horizontal sound coverage — so the sound remains the same, even at the extreme sides of the audience or the stage. Instead of dialing in a stage monitor while wondering what the mix sounds like from the crowd — with the Bose L1 Compact, you'll always hear exactly what the audience hears. Two ToneMatch channels with perfect presets for a singer/songwriter If you sing and play guitar, the Bose L1 Compact PA system is perfect for you — although its applications extend far beyond just that. What makes the L1 Compact so convenient, is that it has two of Bose's elite ToneMatch channels. Bose has preconfigured presets for a vocal microphone and an acoustic guitar — so it'll sound great, with no tweaking necessary. Built-in mixer, on the rear of the speaker's stand On the back of the Bose L1 Compact power stand, you'll find a convenient 2-channel mixer. The first channel has an XLR input for your vocal microphone. The second channel has a 1/4" input for your guitar, plus stereo RCA inputs so you can connect up an iPod or a laptop to play backing tracks or music between sets. Small, lightweight, and easy to setup Apart from its excellent sound, maybe the best part about the Bose L1 Compact system is that it's easy to carry and setup. You won't need to call in help, just to get the system into the gig — and you won't have to labor through tons of cable connections and audio-testing steps. Weighing just 29 lbs., the Bose L1 Compact is light enough for one musician to carry, and it sets up in under a minute. You can also choose between two setup positions, depending on the space you're performing in — there's a collapsed position for smaller spaces and an extended position to fill larger rooms.

January 14, 2012 Music Background: semi-pro Best PA Ever!
by Pablo from STexas
I am primarily a single act, keyboard and vocals, but also put together duos, trios and quartets for larger venues. I used the Bose 302 system for over 20 years with great satisfaction and success. I... read more [+]n 2006 I switched to the EV ZX-1 and was very pleased with it. Last year, I ordered a pair of L-1 Compact systems, and I can say without reservation that it is the best system I've ever used.January 12, 2012 Music Background: lifelong professional musician Advantages: - Throw out your monitors, hotspots, monitor amps, and all associated cabling, you won't need them. Speaker stands are no longer needed. Setup time is reduced by 30%. - Mixing of various instruments is much simplified, everyone hears the overall mix, as it is spread out by the two systems. Arguments about someone playing too loud go away, everyone clearly hears their individaul part. Feedback rarely is an issue. - No more heavy lifting. System is light, compact and easy to set up. Used just one in a hall with about 200 people, and it was adequate for a monoral DJ setup. - The sound is very clear and precise. I believe it takes my live performances to a new level. Disadvantages: - Few, price being pehaps the biggest one. - Low end response. With one system, it is adequate for most venues, with two it is much improved. If you want a bass that will give you a punch in the gut, and additional sub is recommended, especially for loud metal or hard rock. - Shape: Why can't this be a rectangular box that can be stacked, or placed on its side? It would be easy to put a rim along the top rear edge that would protect the controls while making the system stackable during transport. The egg shape in the horizontal plane allows the system to shift around in transit, and it requires it's own unique space in my van. Bose has brilliant engineers, they could address this issue without adding much additional weight. close [-] This is the sound I was looking for!

I tried two less expensive (500.00 range) PA systems before getting the L1 Compact. The first two less expensive (Yamaha stage pass and a Samson XP308) systems just sounded muddy. They just sounded ... read more [+]cheap to tell you the truth. No matter what we did the sound was just not clear at all. We play two acoustic guitars and two vocals - sometimes with backing tacks. December 6, 2011 Music Background: Recording and small gig hobbyist When we switched over to the Bose System - the difference was amazing! The sound was crystal clears. Every little strum and breath was right up front. It was just incredible how much better it sounded. This unit is worth every penny! Big shout out to Carson McClain (our sales engineer) for helping us get the sound that we have been looking for! close [-] Amazing sound and portability!
