whats the big deal just buy TWO if you want stereo...
as you would with any powered PA system cool2


Can you control two Reach units with one mobile device?

You can only control one Reach at a time with your mobile device. For optimal results if linking two Reach units you will need 2 mobile devices to adjust the settings independently from each other. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

This has technology that mixers wont address. You defeat the reason for buying the speakers. Control over all the on product settings, as well as EQ settings for all inputs (Channel 1-4), additional FX selection (up to 16), FX Level for the Bluetooth, FX return for all channels, mutes for all input channels and/or main output, and instant recall of 3 user-defined channel presets.

Pardon the ignorance here but aren't all single speaker systems reduced to mono when only one speaker is used?

That is true of my Bose system. It was also true of my Yamaha system as well.

The only exception has been my Nano 300 which has stereo tweeters.

Another amp I own,which I think functions very similar to this is the Line 6 Amplifi. It can be controlled by using the amp controls or my iPad.

I have visited with folks who use two Amplifi's when needed.

Perhaps it's a bit too soon to speculate what can or cannot be done with the Mackie system?

Nanos are the best I've used and still get stereo out of one unit. I had a Peavey Escort some years ago that did that too, as I recall, but it wasn't on a level with the Lucas.

We've rehashed the stereo V/S mono stuff so many times it's incredible. As for as the audience is concerned, they usually either don't know it's stereo, or just don't care. Kinda like the guy that walks into the house of ill repute with a $100 bill and a 3-inch schlong - the only person that he intends to satisfy is himself. wink

All the best,

Gary cool

I didn't want to get into that old discussion again either, you have to accept there are two parties, and no side will be convinced by the other one. In my settings, people often sit close to me so they get the two channels. Even if not, if I like more what I hear, I play better. [STOP - my only post about this topic here.]
