Comments about the L1® System:
The very best audio system we have ever experienced for small and mid size venues.
Set up time is a fraction of a traditional audio system that contains backline, monitors, mains and a multi channel mixing console.
In larger venues of audiences of 1,000 or more where more sound re-enforcement is needed, the L1’s will still require far less set up time and sound check time, making everything far less stressful for the musician and sound crew.

Do you add more Equipments?Your stage look like you have floor monitors.
Please what you use when play for larger audiences of 1,000 or more.thanks
On this stage photo, there was another band that played after us and they used the stage monitors. Also, the band that played after us was not an L1 band, so they used a traditional setup. In regard to playing in an audeince of 1000 or more, typically I would recommend additional sound re enforcement. The L1 would make setup time a fraction of what it normally would take for a traditional audio system configuarion, because of the L1’s wider disbursement of sound. Therefore as long as the sound crew uses direct boxes for the mains on every L1 and provide some monitor mix for the stage, the L1’s would be a great solution for large stages and large audiences of 1000 or more. The option of adding additional audio of an audience of 1000 or more would still be relative to the type of event and the style of music.
Thanks so muuch.
please tell how many microphones you use for the drums and what brand.Thanks.
