zuki Senior Member Registered: 09/20/02 Posts: 4723	Let's come North again Has anyone had experience with the Bose F1 array (by itself, not with the sub either). Also, it has stereo inputs. Would this be a more advisable way to hook up the keyboard, or just go 1/4" into both lines in, or just a single line in? Interesting way to lighten the load. _________________________ Live: Korg PA4X/EV Everse 8s/Senn 935/K&M stand Studio: Korg PA4X/Yamaha DGX670/Nord 6D73/Boss BR900CD/Tascam DP24SD/MTM Iloud/Sony C80/AGK 214/ATEM Mini Pro switcher/K&M stand

Uncle Dave Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 12800 Loc: Penn Yan, NY	Originally Posted By zuki (It seems though all who promote this, end up going with (2) units). ... not ALL! The stereo sound from my on board speakers, and the mono coverage from the Bose tower has been all I need for many years. I've said before, having 2 Compacts can actually have a negative effect in some settings. They need room to spread. If they are placed too close to each other, you get cancellations, and dead spots. Placement is critical, if you want to use two arrays. _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum. Please visit www.daveboydmusic.com for contact info

zuki Senior Member Registered: 09/20/02 Posts: 4723	Not all! Bad on my part, good catch I have my QSCs only 15" apart on a dual pole mount and was told that wasn't a good idea for separation. Well, if I can get the same sound I currently hear out on one unit, such as a quality F1, then I'd go for it. I do miss the PA800 speakers (best speakers ever) I grew real fond of. Even considered an old 800 (loved that board, even though I replaced two screens. Korg paid for them. _________________________ Live: Korg PA4X/EV Everse 8s/Senn 935/K&M stand Studio: Korg PA4X/Yamaha DGX670/Nord 6D73/Boss BR900CD/Tascam DP24SD/MTM Iloud/Sony C80/AGK 214/ATEM Mini Pro switcher/K&M stand

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	Originally Posted By zuki I wish I could get used to a single pole setup. Sometimes, it is way overkill to carry 80 lbs and another 20 lbs of pole, etc. We've kicked mono/stereo around forever. Maybe one day I'll try one of the line array systems. (It seems though all who promote this, end up going with (2) units). Jim, the only time I needed to use a pair of L1 compacts was when I had a large, loud, party, 250 to 300 noisy drunks. Most of the time, a single L1 worked fantastic for me, and most of the others on this and other sites that performed with them. Good luck, Gary _________________________ PSR-S950, TC Helicon Harmony-M, Digitech VR, Samson Q7, Sennheiser E855, Custom Console, and lots of other silly stuff!

DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	Set up and play with one line array speaker. Then set a second one up with it. Place them where you can hear one out of each ear. I'm betting you won't want to play with only one again. BTW this applies to traditional speakers too. Arrangers are designed to be heard in stereo. Audiences deserve to hear you at your best. There is the old argument that the audience can't tell the difference. I disagree. I'm done it MY WAY for 50 years and haven't been without work for more than a week or so during that time. I used two 15 inch speakers and a stereo amp at a Piano Bar! My first arranger on stage was in about 1982 or so and I played it in stereo. You can do what you want though; won't bother me a bit. _________________________ DonM

There is a coincidence, I used two Peavey KB300's(?) with Black Widow speakers IN "82.
