Bose L1 type 2 setup

[antoniocarloscoimbra]

Just one question, what's the mic for if you didn't sing? Ok, later on you had a family party in the kitchen. ;) I'm considering buying a quick to mount and light system. This may be it.

No kidding, nice video. Thanks. Thumbs up.

[EnmandsBand1]

@antoniocarloscoimbra I do sing, I just didn't do it at this setup test.

Well I hope you get a commission from Bose! LOL I'm sold. You're doing "almost" the same thing I am. I also have and play keys. Yamaha stage piano driving a Yamaha XS Rack, SONAR (for MIDI track playback), VG88, Brian Moore Guitar with built in GK3, Line 6 POD for Analog Guitar, PreSonus 16.0.2, Digitech Vocalist Live, Shure Beta 87-A, MOTU MIDI Express 8x8. I have 4 Mackie Thumps (15), 2 mon, 2 front and a Mackie 1801 sub. Takes 45 minutes to set up. This looks and sounds much better. Thanks!

Hi, thanks to this ( and other vids ) i went out and bought this system + T1. I sold all my back breaking gear, and used the money to buy this. Thanks for your assistance in helping me make the leap. Having used it now for about two weeks, I´m trading in all my bass gear for 4 B1s, and will use the Bose excusively for the different bands i work in, from full blown Genesis and ProgRock cover band, to my Scottish trad band. ( bagpipes/ fiddles ) This thing has got the lot covered. Thanks.

[novanine9]

is one sub enough or do you need a 2nd one....i'm going to be running a back track, like you.

thanks

[EnmandsBand1]

@novanine9: One sub is enough up to about 150 person rooms, larger than that and you need two. Wehn you place them on top of each other they play loudest, if that's too much I place them on each side of the stick for slightly less output

[novanine9]

@EnmandsBand1 - thanks for the reply...good to know.

[rockjpk]

ja nu kan jeg se det kun er til windows, men jeg er mac bruger, ved du om der er et lignede program som jeg kan bruge?

og tak for vidioen selvom længe siden den blev lagt på..

[rockjpk]

undskyld jeg vidste ikke der var noget der hed showplay software....jeg troede du brugte logic eller noget i den stil..men super fedt setup:)

[rockjpk]

jeg synes det super fedt det setup,har du lyst til at dele ud af posen hvilket midiprogram du bruger,jeg har tænkt mig at lave noget af det samme nemlig,og hvor du køber dine midifiler henne?

[jmorrell22]

Brilliantly fast setup. under 8 min. ! Some Qs. How many people do you play in front of ? How big a room will this work with your setup ? Two subs or 1 ? the Bose mixer or not ? Any major problems with this system yet ? Who left the fridge door open ?

thanks in advance. I´m thinking of investing in this pa.

[EnmandsBand1]

@jmorrell22: that setup with two subs easily play in large rooms up to about 250 people. I don't use the Bose mixer (yet) and I'm not that sure that I need it for balancing 4 line signals. No problems with the system, the largest problem is rooms with a ceiling height under 2.1 m... The fridge is not running, that's why the door is left open :-)

[jmorrell22]

@EnmandsBand1 Thank you for your reply. it really helps me get an idea for how this will work for me. Cheers.

[Bl4ckVV0lF]

man I wish I could play the Guitar like that ...

[novanine9]

Sounds awesome. Thanks for posting

I want to do the same thing, by that I mean play live to a backing track with my guitar.

Do you find that the 2nd sub bass is imperative or could I get away with the one?

Trying to save as much money as possible.

Also...you are getting an awesome guitar sound....is that through your computer Daw and amp plugins, like Guitar Rig or are you using a traditional amp somewhere?

thanks again

[EnmandsBand1]

@novanine9: Thanks! You can start with one, I only use the second one in large rooms.

The guitar sound is Roland VG-88 v.2 directly into the mixer, look at my other videos.

[silvas121212]

Can you make a sound quality video test ........ like music playing through the speakers

[EnmandsBand1]

@silvas121212: The sound you hear is recorded with the video camera in the room

[998Bert]

you did an eight minute film, and played only a one minute ...

I'm impressed... :D

[richardg1968]

Up and gigging in under 8 minutes........... Nice

[decmannix]

Nice. Sounds great

[thricegod1288]

how does this system hold up against half stacks?

[pikkan21]

Is this Mic "Audix OM 7" better than shure beta 58a? I'm gonna beatbox alot. But i sing too. Will that be better choice?

[EnmandsBand1]

@pikkan21

very different, you have to try them yourself. The OM-7 is a lot less sensitive but better sounding to my ears and very feedback resistant. The Beta is brighter and more piercing, cuts better through a mix.

[EnmandsBand1]

@macfori: Mackie VLZ 1202 - always works, never quits :-)

[mike31jmb]

Do you have a band or are you one person? I like the demo, but I was curious.

[EnmandsBand1]

@mike31jmb

EnmandsBand = OneManBand :-)

[mike31jmb]

@EnmandsBand1 ahh

[mooredg]

Thanks for posting - good to see a real setup instead of a corporate promo video. I can also safely say this is the first guitar solo I've ever seen that incorporates closing a fridge door between licks! Nice work fella.

[nysoundwaves]

Very impressive, I also use the Bose Lt1 model 2 system. I love them.

[powerkor]

now that's what I call efficient

[oneguyincalifornia]

i was doubtful until you started playing...what a great sounding system!

I, really, like your guitar tone....most impressive. what are you going through?

does not look like you are using an amp...is it going through a preamp....into guitar rig, by native instruments?



[EnmandsBand1]

The guitar goes through a Roland VG-88 version 2, it's on the floor. Check out my other videos for more VG-88 sound samples

[oneguyincalifornia]

what's with the switching of the bass modules back and forth?

that seemed to be the toughest...bending over and such...is it very heavy?

[EnmandsBand1]

Not really, they are a breeze compared to the Subwoofer I used to have!

[oneguyincalifornia]

@EnmandsBand1 - really?

are they that light...less than 10 pounds, each?

[EnmandsBand1]

The B1 is 25pounds (13kgs)



[Bl4ckVV0lF]

Nice .... nice .... Dayum NICE man .... Simply love it ... Too bad tho that we didn't get to hear you more playing the guitar ...

[zZZzzzSnooze2nd]

The old switcheroo! Now can you have 4 of them with 8 Of them bass bins? How would that be in Sound?

[proprotools1234]

Thanks for uploading this great video just want to know if I use vocal mic close to the Bose L1 speakers dos it feedback?

and can you please let me know how many watts is the setup?

Thanks again

[EnmandsBand1]

I use an Audix OM-7, probably the most feedback resistant mic you can get.

There's very little feedback, maybe a little at high volumes.

[vodotvan]

Excellent setup, quick and smart. +10!!!

[stjamesg8]

The main reason I watched this vid was to hear the OM7. Oh well. Nice guitar work but sure would have like to have heard how the mic sounded.

[geralddonn0909]

Good system mate, But i would suggest you use the Tonematch it would be much easier to set up and much better sound.

[EnmandsBand1]

I don't agree - if the L1 sounds right as it is and I don't need anything tweaked why would the T1 make it sound better?

Setup couldn't be easier as it is now, one cable to plug in! My Mackie mixer is mounted in the rack permanently cabled up.
