Anybody hear anything about this?

Here's a link to their site... Looks like a cool system with selectable coverage angles. Anything that says Line Array isn't cheap and the weight is up there.

Finally something I am interested from Bose..

I'm not sure I would want this, but it looks interesting.

None of the specs provided the weight information. Weight is very important to me, especially right now. I suspect each section, the sub and top, probably tip the scales at more than 40 pounds each. The video shows a relatively young, strong person lifting the units and assembling them.

The horizontal coverage is 100-degrees, compared with 210-degrees of the L1 Compact. However, it is a powerful system at 1,000-watts. I'm confident the sound quality would really be superb.

Cheers,

Looks heavy? And a sub also? X2

Ok, the guy in the video revealed the weight of the sub at 55 pounds, about the same weight as a G-1000, but smaller footprint so a bit easier to lift than the keyboard. I'm guessing the top unit weighs about the same.

Now, you probably don't need the sub because the top unit goes down to 50-Hz, while the sub thumps out at 30-Hz.

55 pounds is just too damned heavy for me, but maybe some of you young whippersnappers can handle that.

For now, I think I'll stick with my Bose L1 Compacts - they work just fine for every job I encounter, indoor and outdoor.

All the best,

Gary

This looks very promising. ..Not that I need, but you never know.
