check it out ..... I LOVE mine !

Uncle Dave,
...do I need a pair of that system for reproducing a stereo sound?...or it is stereo? What's the quality of sound (bass,mid,hi freq)? 700W?

Matt, you can also find many comments about this by clicking on SEARCH for this forum.

...I'll try,thanks...

Dear UncleDave;

What Keyboard(s) are you using to play the demos on your webpage? And which vocal harmoizer is used for the song "A Nightingale sang"?

PS----Are you still using an external pre-amp for your PAS. Any new tips or upgardes?

Regards;
BN

You will find a very interesting BOSE forum here: http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/ubb.x/a/cfrm/f/9706048934


I've used mine on 4 gigs so far and it is unlike any other amp/speaker system I have ever used. There is definitely a learning curve to using it.

Dear Btweengigs;

I have looked at the Bose PAS as well, but I am concerned about augmentation or degradation of stereo samples from keyboards by using the mono PAS. I have seen arguments for both sides of the mono & stereo reproduction, and I am not totally convinced.
Maybe you have some incite?

BN....
I am very new to the Bose concept and still learning how best to use it in live performance. Running mono is a non-issue for me. I play a variety of large, small and odd shaped venues where stereo does not add any value to my performances.

The whole PAS concept is so different from the conventional systems that it takes some getting used to. But, the bottom line is:
I have had no complaints about being too loud from those closest to the speakers...or complaints from those in the back of the rooms I play saying they couldn't hear.

There are plenty of questions and answers about the PAS and they are being asked and answered over on the Bose forum I posted.

Eddie

Sorry about the need to scroll right and left
to read this thread. I think my posting of the Bose Forum link did it.

...actualy,I did it.... sory guys!

sLOWER

Dear Bwteengigs;

I wasn't referring to the stereo image loss ( in your case with odly shaped venues) but the degradation of sound quality from a stereo sample patch from a keyboard.

Hmmm. let's see - Nightengale was the 9000pro playing manual bass and piano only. I used the Digitech VR harmonizer on that one. All my tomorrows and Gigolo wre on the Korg PA80 - straight, no external anything, no tweaking of anykind. That was my first day with the unit.
She's no lady, and Wind beneath my wings was the X1 with the internal prossessor.
The Bose sounds SO good, the stereo/mono issue is only as important as teh internal sample in the keyboard. If your instrument sounds good ... it's sound GREAT through just a single Bose tower. I bouyght 2 at first and sold the second one. It was never missed in my setup.

U.D. or Eddie

Is there really anything revolutionary about the Bose PAS or were the Bose people just smart enough to put a bunch of speakers on a tube and point them in all different directions? Have either of you looked at how the tube is constructed? Am I correct about it being a bunch of small speakers pointed in many directions?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Tom

Tom...
The L1 Cylindars are built like tanks. Excellent construction and quality. Inside the two connecting cylindars are 25 mini speakers...and no they are not pointed in different directions that I can tell. They all look to be facing directly forward.

Bose doesn't claim to be the initiator of stacked speakers in a column. What IS unique to the system they developed is the power stand (PS1) and how is powers and provides 99 presets to the Cylindrical Radiators (L1s) and the sub woofer B1.

As to how and why the system disperses a relatively even signal within a 180 degree radius.... I dunno. But, I will guarandamntee ya it does. And it has made singing a whole lot easier. Nothing gets buried in mud.
