Man, you really play all sorts of jobs. Where do you find all these?

I don't understand what SUM means. Please explain how I'd hook the 800 into one Bose.

"SUM" the signal to mono simply means connecting both L and R outputs together into one mono input.

This can be accomplished with use of a simple Y cable adaptor if your keyboard does not have a MONO output, which most do. Use of the Mono output is the same thing exactly, it adds the two signals mathematically into one, yielding the SUM of the two signals, amplitude-wise.

Don,
How do you hook up the 2 Compacts - chain 'em or left-right out of a mixer?
I do a several outdoor festivals a year and the L1 Model I with 2 bass bins has always been adequate. I would like to determine if 2 Compacts with maybe what Donny suggested - a Thumper - would be 'adequate'?
Ciao,
Jerry

Jerry use two seperate outs L/R for stereo...chain the using the Bose aux out for mono.......or use two Bose hooked to L/R main outs on your mixer & hook the powered 15" speaker or sub(s) to the sub outs on the mixer to have a seperate Vol control.

A small mackie mixer like this should fit your needs...

I've been using a mixer, with left and right outs going to each Compact.
I will probably take the mixer out of my setup with the Audya though, since it has two mic inputs, aux ins, extensive e.q.s, harmonizer, etc.
I'll keep a smal mixer in the car in case I need a backup system if the Audya should fail and I have to use E50 and/or laptop.
I always have a backup for everything anyway.

I use the L & R outputs of the mixer also, each one feeding its own Compact.

Well, followed advice and went with (1) Compact today. I'll be using it mono for awhile and will pick up another early next year. Thanks for the guidance.I can imagine it'll be well worth the expense.

Zuki did you SUM L/R outputs from you KB using a "Y" adapter?

When I used one Compact, I had best results going from L&R stereo outputs into the stereo inputs on the Compact. You will need the correct cable or adapters of course.
