If you are in a situation where you must utilize an electric generator to power the {{L1}}, there are several things to consider.

* 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. ~~Guideline~~:

* 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. Guidelines:

** {{Model 1S}} or {{Model II}}, draws up to 750 Watts per system

** {{Compact}} draws up to [[L1®_Compact#Battery_Power|100 watts]]

Line 19:

** Classic: {{Classic}} 750 Watts of power and therefore requires a good input power supply that is rated at least 1400 Watts. As a general guideline, you should budget at least 1000 Watt per system.

* Only use inverter<ref>inverter [http://powerequipment.honda.com/generators/inverter-generator-advantages Honda article on inverter generators], [http://www.yamahaef2000is.com/conventional_generator_vs_inverter_generator.html Yamaha article on inverter generators]</ref> 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.

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.
