Comments about the L1® System
We received out L1 systems on a Wednesday and used them at an outdoor gig on Friday. They performed as advertised. We were set up and ready to roll with VERY minimal adjustment. The sound was crystal clear with absolutely no feedback, and we needed no monitors. We were very impressed with our first experience with the L1 systems.

Hello Marksmen!
Thanks for posting the info on your band.
And welcome to this community.
Sounds like things are going well with your new L1 systems. Keep us up to date with any developments, okay?

Well, we have been usign the systems for the better part of a year now, and we really love it. Just scratching the surface, really. We play mostly small clubs, and have crammed into some tight spaces using all 3 systems. We do find that having them close together (sometimes right next to each other, touching) is not a detriment to the sound. In fact, it seems to work well for us that way, oddly enough. We also find that we do not need to add digital effects of any kind, as the natural sound of the unit is so nice. We are still experimenting, so we will keep you posted.
