Aesthetics of the {{L1}} System in places of worship:

The ~~esthetics~~ in places of worship is always an issue to consider. {{L1}} Systems have been used successfully in many churchs; here are a few pieces of ~~advise~~:

The aesthetics in places of worship is always an issue to consider. {{L1}} Systems have been used successfully in many churchs; here are a few pieces of advice:

1) They look different~~. That (unusualness)~~ will always cause comment from some.

1) They look different and that will always cause comment from some.

2) For some, the idea of ANY speaker (any change) is the real issue. It sometimes helps to point out that the {{L1}} is far less intrusive (in most situations) than ~~convention~~ speakers on ~~a pole~~ plus monitors~~. Of course, it is bigger than a little "cube" amp -- but you can't compare the sound of the two either~~.

2) For some, the idea of ANY speaker (any change) is the real issue. It sometimes helps to point out that the {{L1}} is far less intrusive (in most situations) than conventional speakers on stands plus monitors.

Another way to approach this second issue is to distinguish between installed sound systems and portable systems. The {{L1}} System is ~~arguably the best-sounding~~ portable system ~~one can get; given that you want really good sound, it is also presently~~ the least visually-intrusive way of getting great portable sound.

Another way to approach this second issue is to distinguish between installed sound systems and portable systems. The {{L1}} System is a portable system and perhaps the least visually-intrusive way of getting great portable sound.

If the "portable" sound is not acceptable in the long-run, then an installed system can provide great sound -- if done right. Just keep in mind that many of the "physics" of the design of the {{L1}} column are usually also great features/capability to incorporate into any installed system. ~~-- In other words, I would not recommend replacing portable {{L1}} Systems with a couple of round~~ speakers in the wall or ceiling~~. It would likely have all~~ the same ~~(or worse) problems that conventional (non-{{L1}}) portable systems have~~.

If the "portable" sound is not acceptable in the long-run, then an installed system can provide great sound -- if done right. Just keep in mind that many of the "physics" of the design of the {{L1}} column are usually also great features/capability to incorporate into any installed system. A few speakers in the wall or ceiling are unlikely to produce the same sound quality.

What the {{L1}} Systems have demonstrated is that "line arrays" (many identical speakers in a row) -- which have known "good" characteristics for amplifying sound -- can be applied to MANY situations, such as churches, for which they might not have been considered in the past.

(a) An installed system may very well be more expensive than an equivalent set of {{L1}}'s. Certainly likely to be a lot more work and effort to set up to get a similarly good sound.

(b) It can be important to find someone to help with an installed system with knowledge about line arrays; even better is someone who can "model" the room on a computer and help you find the best choices of components and placements.
