There were recommendations that the minimum distance between two L1®s running the same source was 20-50 feet. (see: Multiple Source Interference).

We know that the Compact performs differently than the other models, so does this mean that this recommendation is no longer applicable?

* Whenever you feed an identical signal to two or more like sources you must ask the question: will I get undesirable interference? Will I get unwanted dropouts in tone?

* The most important application for an "identical signal feeding two or more like speakers" is when covering a large area. A good example would be an audience of 1,000 or more seated for a graduation ceremony. A distributed system of several L1 systems all fed with the same signal is perfectly appropriate. We make it very easy in the L1 Compact to do this with the line output jacks on the back. You can easily daisy chain them.

* I can't think of a situation like this where you would want to space the L1 Compacts (or any other L1 system) closer than 20' and thus I see no issue with undesirable multi-source interference. I think that spacing closer to the 50' mark would be more typical in terms of covering large audiences. Said another way, I don't think an L1 Compact has trouble throwing up to 50'.

* As said above "The {{Compact}} uses a significantly shorter array than the {{Model I}} or {{Model II}}. As a result, it doesn't project sound as far." Thus, spacing of multiple {{Compact}}s would be somewhat less than the spacing of multiple Model I or Model II systems.
