My kids have a Gospel Bluegrass Band. Most of the time it is three of them on the stage but occasionally it could be 5 of them.

Will one L1 Model 2 be big enough?
They usually perform in churches and fellowship halls. I think the most they have played for is 100 people.

Hi Kelley Gospel Band,

Thanks for posting the video and providing that great background information.

I think an L1® Model II with T1 ToneMatch® Audio Engine would be a good fit for the three of them. If you need to accomodate more inputs then second T1® would be a great way to go.


Do you use a pickup in the violin?

No, we have used a cable on the acoustic guitar before.
What if the church seats 200…will it handle it?

What kind of mics and etc?

Hi Kelley Gospel Band,

I think you would do just fine in a church that seats 200.

As for microphones - you will be fine with anything on the T1® Presets list.


5 Audix OM-2
6 Audix OM-3
7 Audix OM-5
8 Audix OM-6
9 Audix VX-10
10 Beyer M88
11 ElectroVoice N/D357
12 ElectroVoice N/D767
13 ElectroVoice N/D967
14 Neumann KMS105
15 Shure SM57
16 Shure SM58
17 Shure Beta 57A
18 Shure Beta 58A
19 Shure Beta 87A
20 Sennheiser e855
21 Sennheiser MD431-II

and even if you get a microphone that is not on the list there are some generic presets that will probably work fine anyway.
