I'm using right angle speakons for the bass connection and that puts the cable pointing towards the ethercon port.

If you could turn the bass out speakon 180 degrees then a right angle speakon would not only come out facing the rear it would protect the power switch.

I have a photo if anyone needs it.

Just this morning I was looking at your picture in your post above and thought - no matter which way you turn the connector, someone will observe that the right-angle connector blocks access to something.

I like to connect everything before turning on the power and turn off the power before I disconnect things. That would be hard to do that if the speakon jack was turned 180 degrees and the 90 degree connector covered the power switch.

Hi ST, I think you meant you like to turn off the power before you disconnect things. 

Thanks for your thorough responses throughout the Bose forums. I've learned a lot about the products and their applications from observing the posts and responses from you and users.

 

 

Hi, grodzilla,

Nice catch. I've corrected my post above.

I appreciate your kind thoughts.  It's great we have so many Bose owners here sharing their knowledge and experiences to help each other.

Cheers,

ST

Actually, due to the shape of the speakon the switch can still easily be reached for manually turning on and off - even with the speakon turned around there is sufficient space to reach the switch. YES - I too switch off before unplugging anything and switch on only after everything is plugged in.

Second ethercon in L1 Powerstand

For those of us who run multiple sets of L1/B2 it would be great to have a second ethercon  in the Powerstand to enable chaining of units. This would enable me to run 2 sets left and two sets right of my T4S.

Thanks

For the Compact POWER SWITCH ON TOP; POWER SWITCH ON TOP; POWER SWITCH ON TOP.

I am so tired of having to bend over every time I need to turn it off, which 3-4 times a session when I am changing instruments, mics, etc. etc

Any suggestions to remedy this would be appreciated.  I guess I could run it thru a power strip that I keep on top of the unit...

Thinking about most of my gear. The power switch is usually located near the AC Power connection. Most of the time that's on the back of the device.

I rarely turn my gear off in the middle of a session.

When changing instruments or mics, I turn down the channel volume control instead of turning off the power.

Would that work for you?

Ask, even if you don't think it's possible. It wasn't that long ago that the L1® was impossible.

Have fun with this.

How about a rechargeable battery pack setup?  If Fishman can do it.....

Aimerais un compact plus fort avec 10 pouces dans le subwoofer

Hi Admin,

Perhaps you could break this up somewhere in the last few post, (maybe where I came in with quote) and start a thread where we can discuss, localization vs steerable vs mono / stereo.

O..

Hi, Oldghm. 

Done. Please see Steerable Array
