	We have also tested the L1 Compact with several DC to AC Inverters~~, mostly the low cost "Modified Sine Wave" (actually three level square~~ wave~~) ones and all have worked very well, there is no buzz problem from the ones we tried~~.		We have also tested the L1 Compact with several DC to AC Inverters. Avoid modified sine wave inverters. Pure sine wave inverters are preferable.
	I recommend that an inverter of at least 300W be used ~~($30 to $35 US), less~~ then that has not been tested.

	There was a follow up question about the impact of using a {{T1}} with the {{Compact}}. Expect that adding a {{T1}} may draw as much power as the {{Compact}} meaning that your power requirements may be double what is show above.

	<br>So based on these official specs this setup presents a maximum draw of 300 watts. A good rule of thumb for an inverter would be to oversize by at least a factor of two so at least 600 watts for the inverter.		<br>So based on these official specs this setup presents a maximum draw of 300 watts.

	<br>Keep in mind official specs can be conservative (as Tom's lower wattage numbers show). Feel free to measure your power draw at home using regular utility and/or inverter power. If you have access to a kill-a-watt or similar, it will tell you how much power in watts your Compact and T1 are drawing with your sources at your levels. Sometimes real world testing is best.		<br>Keep in mind official specs can be conservative (as Tom's lower wattage numbers show).

	First of all, the L1® Compact is very different in basic nature from the two original ones. It has a head-high vertically-divergent array that is ultra-wide horizontally. the vertical angle is narrow enough so its sound pressure fall-off with distance is not as severe as, say, a guitar amp, but it's somewhat greater than an {{Model I}} or {{Model II}}. We have data galore taken on the {{Compact}} array, but to a musician, ~~its~~ not only useless, it's confusing. Thinking about this stuff intellectually leads nowhere.

	So, forgetting all this, The {{Compact}} sounds the same and, from personal experience playing and singing solo, it feels the same. When I played (this seems to be a typical configuration), the system was off to the side 5' and back of me 4'. It is louder when you get on top of it (unlike the L1) so you need to get a little further from it. But not much.
