Joe Camilleri and the Bose L1 loudspeaker

The Bose L1 at it's release night in Australia. Joe Camilleri and his band were the official testers of the system. We just went for a look. The results you will have to judge for yourself.

You cant make a opinion base on a camera sound, maybe the camera that you use is a crappy camera, it happens to me on some gigs that i recorded. I have a L1 and it sounds extremly nice!!!!

@BengieOyola - Good to hear from you buddy but good old @lliicckk already posed that question. Unfortunately @lliicckk removed his original question but if you need an answer, you can read our previous response to him. Nice to see you purchased an L1 though because there's always a requirement for virtually every piece of kit on the market (somewhere). Plus it's good to see someone supporting Bose.

Question: Using the Tone Match syst., what are the best settings for the music & mic. so that one's vocals won't sound as though they are singing from far away but rather sound natural and balanced. I know there many settings like reverb, frequencies, etc, but I don't understand much. Could you tell me where you would recommend setting the options in all sections of that little turning knob on the top right area of the tone match so that one's voice will sound the way it should be heard??

@Aldenif - Everybodies tastes are different, so it's probably best you pop down to a dealer and have a quick play with one yourself.

hmm the setup is not perfect. The L1 system should be placed two metres behind the drummer (I see that this isn't possible on that stage) to gain the best sound.

how much is one of those?

@klauskauker - Best you check your local dealer for pricing.

The snare drum changes in volume from near to far.. Thats what it seemed like to me.

@lliicckk - Granted the audio is absolute crap. The band was so loud, it kept clipping the front end of the pre-amps in the camera and distorting like crazy. Regardless, we put this clip up because we felt people would be able to look past the distortion and recognize that the tonality of the signal didnt change as we moved around the room. We hope you got some value from it.
