in order for those way off to hear. But a serious problem in smaller restaurant/bar venues or private parties or street fairs where those who don't want to hear full volume can't escape or modify by moving further away.
and the description of the sound from most
people i have spoken to(not musicians who use it) is that it sounds very clear, but lacks warmth.
Excellent points Mo...I do restaurant gigs and you are right.
As far as "Clear without warmth"...it is an accurate description IMO.
I spent a whole day using one in the club where my friend gigged with it...I was recording a bunch of MIDI files for him...
He was using a 3k, and he had the L1 set up properly.
I couldn't warm up to it at all...guess it truly is a personal thing, because he was quite pleased with it.
