I claim, however, that this is a Pyrrhic victory -- a victory at unreasonable costs.

An all-L1 system can not do this: it will always be a little louder on stage than in the house and by the time it's very loud on stage it may not be loud enough to win the war in the audience.

The L1 system will always provide other benefits that have been shown to be profound.

In very noisy environments, the bandwidth of musical information is badly compromised for both approaches. Listening to music when noise and signal are about the same is like trying to appreciate a painting in pulsing disco lighting.

Finally, to answer your question. We developed the L1 system to make a profound difference in live music. We encourage its use in all kinds of settings, including noisy environments. To fully hear and appreciate what the technology can do for live music, good dynamic range is essential, and that includes a reasonable noise floor.

I have noted in other posts that the lower-SPL part of the dynamic range of music is one of the relatively uncharted territories of live amplified music. My experience in this rather virgin land is that there is gold up there in those hills. The other day, we turned off a few cyberlights in our auditorium and gained another 20 dB (estimated) dB of dynamic range on the lower part of the range, and it was simply unbelievable what it did to the sound of the voices and instruments. We felt we could hear the inner voices.
