; ~~Use~~ with an {{L1}} system

; {{PAGENAME}} with an {{L1}} system

The {{PAGENAME}} is an personal monitor system that attaches to a microphone stand.

The {{PAGENAME}} is an personal monitor system that attaches to a microphone stand. It can be used in other ways, but we'll talk about using it as a personal monitor.

The {{L1}} systems were designed to be positioned behind the performer and when used as designed there is no need for a monitors. For more more information on that concept see:

Line 19:

I've tried ~~hard to make it work~~ for me, ~~but for me,~~ it is NOT an ~~improvement over using the Model II~~ behind me.

I've tried using the {{PAGENAME}} in various ways and for me, it does NOT improve the monitoring experience I get with an {{L1}} behind me.

As simple as it is to set up, it's more trouble than it's worth. On the microphone stand, I have found it too prone to feedback. I can't get the volume up high enough to be heard over the ~~Model II~~. I might consider using it in a situation where I had to place the ~~L1®~~ in a position where I could not hear it. But for me, that almost never happens.

I might consider using it in a situation where I had to place the {{L1} in a position where I could not hear it. But for me, that almost never happens.

After a lot of experimenting I just don't use with it when I have my Model II or Compact. I use it when the {{Compact}} would make too much of a visual impact. For example - at an acoustic jam where I've brought my Yamaha Silent Guitar. At these events amps are not welcome, but I can get away with the smaller {{PAGENAME}}.

;Use with an [[F1]] system

My renewed interest in the VoiceSolo FX150 was because of the announcement about the F1 Flexible Array Loudspeaker System F1. It's pretty clear that the F1 is meant to be used with monitors so I started looking around here to see what I have.

I've got the VoiceSolo FX150 above and some good old Bose 802s. The 802s sit nicely in the front cover and can be tipped back and used as floor wedges. I used to do that back in the pre-L1 days.

Line 52:

If you are using a {{T1}} connected to a {{Model II}} or {{Model 1S}} then the simplest approach is to connect your microphone and other sources directly to the {{T1}} as you normally would, and then connect the {{T1 nl}} Master output to the {{PAGENAME}} channel 1 input.

Line 78:

Do not connect the {{PAGENAME}} to Compact Channel 1 because Compact Channel 1 has a built-in Preset for Vocal Microphones.
