Strange! I've never encountered feedback with either my L1 or L1 Compact - EVER! And, I don't know anyone else that had a feedback problem. Ya' think the guy you're talking about might have been using a cheap, unidirectional mic?

Cheers,

Gary

Ditto !!

Fran you're an intelligent guy you've got tech saavy when it comes to musical equipment I have to believe you can't be serious but instead just like to stir things up here at SZ.

Yep, another +1 here too

+1 Might as well add me to the pot as well.

I have both the Bose Compacts and a Roland SA 300 (with anti-feedback control) Both are good systems but I do have more feeback issues with the Roland.

2 used Barbetta's in GC website will ship to store nearest you..

Did I just read someone comparing a $69 Logitech computer speaker system to a Pro Audio speaker system?

Frank?

I just talked with my friend in question about my comments, and he confirmed I was accurate..

Gary (Murway), uses a Shure wireless headset($400)...and Gary (Diamond)..it is a Omni directional...making it worse for unwanted sound than the unidirectional you mention..

His best position is having the Bose behind him , about six feet, and about 2 feet to his right side...

Gary M uses a midi guitar, Helicon harmonizer, arranger sound module...etc, so he develops a lot of sound..

He also confirmed what I have heard...distortion is possible just like any other sound system..

I would also add...the Bose Compact, is Gary M's favorite system for his type of work....just like Gary D..

I switched from an Omni Directional mic about 8 years ago to the unidirectional Crown CM-311A and that ended all feedback problems with any sound system I used. I have three Crown CM-311As, one stays in the office, and two go with me - just in case. In all these years, and thousands of jobs, I've never had a failure using the Crowns.

As for the distortion, I guess it's possible with any sound system that is overdriven. I just don't crank the volume up to those levels, therefore, I've never experienced distortion with the Bose systems.

Fran, the next time I'm up your way I would love to meet up with you, Dave and Donny, and possibly go hear Gary Murway perform. Maybe one weekend in September. On October 1, if my health holds together, I'll be sailing south for the Florida Keys and Bahamas.

Cheers,

Gary
