As I said in the introduction, I want to reach the greatest number of people, while performing with the L1 behind me. For that to work, the stage volume must be reasonable. Longer arrays do this best.
As I said in the introduction, I want to reach the greatest number of people, while performing with the L1 behind me. For that to work, the stage volume must be reasonable. Longer arrays do this best. The L1 Pro32 array is twice the length of the L1 Pro16.


I learned from playing the L1 Model II, I can play softer while being heard by more people with a longer array. Up to a point I could reach as many people with the L1 Model 1S as with the L1 Model II, but I had to run the L1 Model 1S louder because it had a shorter array.  You can see similar differences between the L1 Pro16 and L1 Pro32 in the chart below.

If I need to throw sound out well beyond 100 feet, I'd probably use the L1 beside or in front of me and consider using the S1 Pro for a monitor.

When I first looked at the L1 Pro line, I already had all the legacy products. Among those, the L1 Model II and L1 Compact were meeting all my needs. I got the new L1 Pro32 with Sub1 because, at 65 pounds, they outperform my 100 pound L1 Model II.
