Pat Metheny does it all the time.

You probably wouldn't go to one of his concerts, but he ain't laughing, but he sure has been smiling a lot onstage.

He said, "For the first time in my life, it sounds the way I've been hearing it in my head."



That's onstage. Of course, Pat has a line out to large linear arrays in there as well.


High Pressure DJ and two Bose L1 model II's in a large skating rink environment:




The best part there is no horn blare or "focusing" at a certain single distance going on.

Band playing Stevie cover, OUTDOORS, using Bose L-1s:



That is what was picked up by the built-in Mic on a Video Camera!

And the sharp-eyed should notice that all the instruments other than the Bass are going through the Bose system as well there, to include the guitar. Dig how that guitar solo cuts through, the outdoor crowd can hear it anywhere they happen to be in the venue, yet they can also still talk, laugh and communicate with each other. That's a very cool feature of the Bose systems, since using it, I have had zero problems with anyone, be it venue managers, bartenders, owners, or audience coming up with that demand to TURN IT DOWN. Yet I'm thoroughly satisfied with the sound and perhaps more importantly, with what we hear onstage while performing.

But hey, if you like your horns, big cabinets, power amps, mixer boards, monitors and all that jazz, have at it.

I leave the gig with my L-1 in one ditty bag over my shoulder.

And I am indeed laughing about that.
