Anyone have experience with the LD Maui series? They seem very well priced compared to the Bose.

Another alternative that seems to get good reviews and even better pricing are the Turbosound IP500,1000 and 2000 systems.

Any Advice on Portable Line Array PAs? (BOSE, etc)
Quote:
LD just redesigned the Maui Mix series, now called G2. They are good units, but the new DPS controls aren't exactly clear to me. There is nothing but a level control for each of the channels. I suspect it will sound good because they have a good reputation. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Any Advice on Portable Line Array PAs? (BOSE, etc)
I just finished reading the review of the HK Audio Lucas Nano 608i on S.O.S. I also downloaded their mixer app for my iPad to see what features were offered. I haven't had a chance to listen to one of these, but the technology appears to equal, or potentially, rival the Bose L1 Tonematch. Very impressive system for $1600. I think if I were someone willing to drop $2,000 to $3,000 on a Bose L1, I'd want to demo this unit first.

Bose/Fishman
I've used both and bought the Compact. Both were good and not all that different but the Bose had more bass and suited my voice better, so I turned that say in the end. No regrets. Folks like what they hear and it is easy to hear. Never had a room it didn't handle, maybe sufficient for up to 100 folks for acoustic music. If you want something LOUD and earsplitting, look elsewhere than these two.
As others have said, they are designed for a single performer, but with the addition of a mixer can do quite well for groups.

Have been a Bose L1 user for over a decade now. Currently have the Model 2 w/ 2x B1 and T1 mixer.
From my experience, the L1 is great for solo and duo type acts (That's how I use mine). Once you start adding more to a single array, the mix starts getting mushy and the instruments lose definition. My experience is based on 2x acoustic guitar+violin+bass, and acoustic guitar+bass+violin+percussion (Cajon/snare/hand percussion) setups. The best I've heard/performed with is no more than two instruments per array. YMMV...

Anyone else tried one? For the price, I'm very tempted.

That is a great photo! I love the way that line array looks in conjunction with your art and décor.

I'm a little late to the party here, but I'll chime in. We have been using a Bose L1 Model II for our acoustic trio for a little over a year. We use 3 vocal mics and usually 3 instruments (instruments vary: guitar(s), banjo, mandolin). We play coffee-house and restaurant gigs in several different sized rooms with audiences ranging from 20-ish to 75-ish. Some of the rooms can be loud. We run everything direct to a Mackie ProFX mixer. Haven't found a room it won't fill and we get lots of compliments on our sound. Best part is it takes 3 trips to get everything into the venue and about 25 minutes complete setup. We ran a traditional PA for a long time and I'd never go back to that.

Our instrumental duo has been playing though a Fishman SA220 for 5 years and it has a nice natural tone and really good volume. It's very portable and takes less than 10 min to setup; I'd say one could do it in 5 min easily..

Five minutes -- yes, including a short nap!
