* Although the {{l1}} system is very efficient, it produces 750 Watts of power and therefore requires a good input power supply that is rated at least 1400 Watt. As a general guideline, you should budget at least 1000 Watt per system. | * Although the {{l1}} system is very efficient, it produces 750 Watts of power and therefore requires a good input power supply that is rated at least 1400 Watt.

* Only use | * Only use “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. | * 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.
