* Although the {{Model I}} / {{Model II}} system is very efficient, it produces 500 Watts of power and therefore requires a good input power supply that is rated at least 750-1000 Watt. As a general guideline, you should budget at least 750 Watt per system.

* Only use [http://www.yamahaef2000is.com/conventional_generator_vs_inverter_generator.html inverter] type generators. These generators will provide clean sine wave power that make them safe for use with sensitive equipment such as computers, laptops and the {{L1}}. Generators of the type commonly used in construction should be avoided.

* If performing with the {{L1}} at a gig where an unfamiliar generator is being used, it is advisable to bring a multimeter and monitor the output voltage of the generator. If the reading is above 140 V or below 100 V, then the Bose system may not work reliably.
