Product Description
The L1
®
Model II system – with ToneMatch
®
port
consists of the L1 model II power stand, the L1
model II Cylindrical Radiator
®
loudspeaker, and a
B1 bass module. The L1 model II system comes
with a padded carrying bag for each of its parts.
To expand your system and enhance perfor-
mance, you can add:
A second B1 bass module for bass guitar, kick
drum, or organ. Each power stand can power up
to two B1 bass modules.
A T1 ToneMatch audio engine for digital signal
processing, additional inputs and user-interface
control.
• A PackLite
®
power amplifier model A1 for
adding up to two more B1 bass modules to your
system.
