Comments about Bose L1 MII Package with B2 bass module:
Our band is it was developing was using a combination of two old amplifers with a crossover to keep the lows from the highs, with a separate amplifier for the bass player. The sound was uneven. I chose the Bose system after a demo and reading many reviews, as well as seeing what the competition looked and sounded like. The Bose is a magnificent sounding and well-thought out system. First, the physical profile of the speaker tower (line array) is elegant, dramatic and efficient. The tall speaker is composed of two parts that link together and then drop into the base unit where the amplifier resides. It is foolproof and goes together in seconds. The stabilizing feet of the base unit are designed to be extended fully and a clever mechanism prevents you from trying to place the unit without the legs extended, an example of the thought process that has obviously gone into this system. The system is meant to integrate with the Bose Engine audio mixer, where a CAT5 Neutrik Ethercon connector links everything together. One power cable to the base module powers everything; the mixer derives power from that CAT5 cable. Finally the sound: Clean, powerful, and the dispersal of the sound is as described, WIDE, the height of the tower makes sure the sound gets out to the audience. The B2 cabinet means the bass player (and kick drum unit) do not require their own bass amplifers. The efficiency is tremendous; we went from 3 amplifers to one. The mixer is amazing and needs a separate review to accurately describe how versatile it is. Briefly stated it is a state-of-the-art audio console with software and menu functions which allow gain, compression, gates, reverb, etc to be assigned to the mix. Sound is pristine, absolutely no hum, plenty of intelligent metering and LED indicators, mute function very handy too. The lack of hum is astonishing; our old equipment hook-up always had issues. Since the Engine mixer is sending digitized audio to the base cabinet and not audio the isolation breaks the old AC hum loop problem. There is also almost no residual system noise with things cranked up with no inputs on as well; certainly nothing an audience would ever be aware of in a real gig situation. Only limitations of the mixer are there is only one type of "global" effect which applies to all channels, would be better if individuals could be chosen for each input. Also the mixer has only 4 inputs; Bose says 5 but 4 and 5 are "shared". I have to use two submixers to get all 7 sources we use to work but this is not really a big deal. This system stands alone in the live sound game in my opinion. No ugly tripod speakers ready to tip over that also block visibility and focus sound in one direction any more; the Bose disappears on stage and the tower has it's small speakers (24!) placed at different angles to spread out to 180 degree dispersion or close to it. The overall sound is neutral, the bass can be adjusted to be very deep if you want. The B2 cabinet has three coarse settings and the mixer can EQ to your heart's content with regular as well as parametric equalization (these are available for each channel). Price is up there, this is not a cheap system. However the peace of mind and immense control this equipment provides is well worth the extra money, when you are playing out with this system your mind is on the music and the audience, not on the sound system. A winner.
