Hi Esc Plan,

Thanks for using The Sketcher!

This is just a quick note to send you a link to your Sketch in case you want to review it, edit it, or share it with others.

Legend:
L1® Model I/Classic
T1 ToneMatch® audio engine

Quoting Esc Plan from The Sketcher

mikes in back in front of amps and drums are for miking those instruments to the pa
mikes front stage for vocals Would be nice to get an additional mike at the drums besides the kick and maybe add bass to the pa mix.
acoustic guitars used occasionally by keyboardist and lead guitarist so they are not separate musicians- total of 6 band members
Keyboardist currently uses roland amp for keyboard and his acoustic.

prob not enough inputs to acheive this full set-up but suggestions welcome?

Hi Esc Plan,

Here is one of several ways you could set your stage with the L1® System.



-- click image to make changes to the live version --

Legend:
L1® Model I/Classic
T1 ToneMatch® audio engine
Orange numbers are Systems and Inputs using those Systems.
Blue ringed numbers are Channel connections to/from the Classic and Model I Systems.
Blue filled numbers are Channel connections to/from the T1 ToneMatch® audio engine.
Green numbers are for general notes about the Sketch and connections to non-Bose gear.

I added a second T1® to capture all the sources.



Here is a high level view of how things are connected.



Everything on the left side of the sketch is heard through system .

Everything on the right side of the sketch is heard through system


How does this look to you?

Please tell us more about your music:

  • What kind(s) of music you play?
  • Where you do it (size, type of venue)?
  • Who is there (audience) - how many, what are they doing while you are performing?
  • Do you have a web site?
  • If no web site, could you post a picture of your ensemble?


Thank you.

we play classic rock typically house and neighborhood parties indoor and outdoor, small clubs 75-150 people.
Could this be done without having to buy another T1. Can you utilize the 3rd and 4th inputs of the 2L1s instead via mini mixers or something similar or is adding a 2nd T1 the main optionfor that many inputs?
Also is it beneficial to have the lead vocalist come out of both L1s maybe by connecting both L1s via the T1?
Thanks!

Thanks for this information - it helps to put things in perspective.

You can use a mini-mixer of some sort but you won't get the benefit of the Presets or discrete signal paths for each channel. This is very important and useful for dealing with feedback, and getting great sound - especially for vocals.

When running two L1®s like this, I like to use the same gear on both sides of the stage. Part of this is so that knowledge of one is immediately transferable to the other. You don't have to learn two ways of doing things. Also - there are no second-class citizens.

It is preferable to have each sound source heard through only one L1®. Typically you get greater presence and clarity this way. (reference: Stereo / Mono / Distributed systems and Multiple Source Interference and Cocktail Party Effect

Thanks!


You are welcome.
