Bose L1 Compact-very happy after first gig with it!!

[Toril S]

Hello friends:) Just had to write that yesterday (Christmas eve) I had my first gig with my new Bose L1 Compact PA system. I am bubbling over with happiness! I know there are many speakers out there, but for me this little, ultra portable, super easy to set up system is just right. The sound was evenly distributed throughout the venue, everyone was happy with the sound, the sound was clear, yet not to sharp and shrill, so I am oh so happy now! Thanks to friends on this forum I have made the right choice

Hi Toril, I also have a pair of the Compacts. They are the best, well worth the money. If I remember right you are using the S970. How does the piano voices sound with just one compact in mono. I use the S950 with a pair of Compacts and the piano voices sound good in stereo, but not very good with one speaker. I'm trying out a pair of LD Systems Maui 5's and so far I'm quite impressed. They sound very close to the Compacts, but have more inputs and controls. At this point I think the Compacts are better, but we'll see after the first gig. I'm happy you like the Bose. Thanks, Ron

Hello Ron! The piano sounds sound fuller in stereo. But I manage well with one Bose. Maybe I will add another one later😀

Hi Troil, Ask Gary Diamond for a link to his piano voices that he created for a single Bose Compact, they give a much fuller sound with the single Compact. When you look for them they are the ones that also include a guitar and sax voice. Good Luck, Ron

Toril, here's a link to the voices I created on the PSR-3000 many years ago, and they work great on the S-950 and S-970 as well. https://app.box.com/s/620aqowt5q1vlnvcl7n9

Hi Toril,

I know you would love the Bose. I have two of them but I only use one for most gigs just for convenience. To be honest, I don't use piano voices much, I am a singer who uses the S970 as an accompaniment source. I only use both Bose for outdoor or very large rooms. All of my customers love the sound. I am sure you will have many great gigs with you new Bose and your new Mic.

Best wishes for a Great New Year!
