The {{PAGENAME}} is an personal monitor system that attaches to a microphone stand. The {{L1}} systems were designed to be positioned behind the performer and when used that way, there is no need for a monitors. For more more information on that concept see: [[The L1® Approach and the History Of Amplification]].

I have a {{PAGENAME}}. It is at least as good as the similarly sized personal monitors from Mackie and Behringer. When I use my L1® systems I don't need monitors. However I got my {{PAGENAME}} as part of promotional deal and I was glad to have the opportunity to try it first hand.

I've tried hard to make it work for me, and it's okay in quiet environment by itself, but for me, it is NOT an improvement over using the Model II 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.

After a lot of experimenting I just don't use with it when I have my Model II or Compact. I only 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}}.

I have used it with a wireless microphone for small speaking gigs but in that case I put it well away from me. I would normally use my Compact but in a small rooms for 15-20 people it has been fine. I had a series of gigs like this where I had to haul everything I needed in one trip onto a walking campus. Even the 30 pound {{Compact}} would have been too much to carry and the 7 pound {{PAGENAME}} was up to the task.

If you're thinking of buying one, I'd suggest that you rent or borrow one, or try one out someplace where you can run it in front of a Model II first.
