Bose L1 Compact Wireless Line-Array PA System

I have owned a Bose Compact for about 6 months now from Bax. This is used, primarily for my daughters vocals who sings opera (soprano) but also regular songs for fun and enjoyment. I also use this for connecting to a Sonos connect and occasionally a guitar. So how good are these things? Answer is the overall quality of sound is really good, crystal clear and bright with high feedback rejection and good reach. The build quality is also noteworthy, and you are aware that you are handing a well built quality product. So why the 4 stars? the downside of these is the lack of control to enhance or adjust the sound and the overall lack of features (no reverb, or basic FX). The wireless adapter works fine, but really why not have it built in, instead of having this as an "add on". Its clear that these are produced with the possibility of adding the Bose "tonematch" to them. Personally, I get around this by either connecting my Yamaha MG10 mixer directly to it, or by adding directly linking another PA to it, which has the effects and wireless connectivity built in, so essentially using this just as a speaker. The ultimate selling point of the Bose Compact is that you can carry this to a venue in 1 trip. Yes you can, which is why i bought it for my daughter, BUT if you want to adjust your sound, you are going to have to go back to your car to pick up your mixer, which questions whether this is right for you or not. With all this said, i knew this before i bought it. the pro's outweigh the cons in my opinion... to arrive at a venue or simply using these around your home, these things look amazing, very professional and the sound quality is really good. Thee array system, outreaches the traditional PA speakers ensuring those at the back of the room can hear clearly with clarity for certain vocals etc. In broad terms, its a great piece of equipment, but just could be so much better if only it had build in Bluetooth and reverb, (and possibly a model variation with a built in battery for outside performances etc) . These come very well packaged, which in itself is a feat of engineering. buy with confidence from Bax.
