I’ve just tried a pair of these VS a single Pro 16… I bought the Pair of Pro 8s, actually finding the bass a punchier than the Pro 16. The Pro 16 is a power house with LOTS of bass, but it seems a little muddy compared to the Pro 8… and having that stereo sound stage from a pair is a massive advantage with pre-recorded stereo tracks.
Sounds like a great option for those interested in the stick approach. I've used a Bose L1 often in the past - I think they sound good for a singer/acoustic guitar player. This is $1,200 in American cash money dollars. Reasonable for what you get, IMHO. For those using backing tracks, a pair of EV ZLX 12 powered speakers on stands with a small mixer is a better sounding rig for around the same money, but those powered speakers aren't exactly light. Bose keeps making their L1 better and better, which is a great thing. Great video!
@@andertons Your channel is by far the best music shop, demoing, interviewing, and general silly antics platform on this site, so you'll have a view from me as long as the videos keep coming.
Hi it sounds lovely. Very much interested in this Amp Bose pro8. I will be looking into it in not so distant future. Thanks for video inspiring with your style of play.
I’m happy to lug my heavy-ass JBL’s around. Nothing just looks less rock than those weird stick speakers. Speakers are a visual component to music I think. A Marshall stack makes you feel/expect/anticipate something. But to each her own.
It's all about the limited edition road worn Fenders! We have some more photos here... 😉 www.andertons.co.uk/fender-road-worn-50s-tele-mn-in-metallic-purple-with-twisted-tele-and-nocaster-pickups-p0149834377-fsr-1
You have a beautiful acoustic guitar, yet to me it sounds synthetic hooked up on a cable, not acoustic at all! Why don't you use a phantom powered quality condenser microphone in this demo? Because of possible feedback issues when the unit is positioned behind you with a cranked up volume?
let's say, for example, I had a choice between an AER 60 and this, what are the differences in terms of sound output, quality etc? I am at that fork in the road right now.
1. can I connect two L1 8 pro units via Bluetooth? to make it two units playing at the same time 2. if I can connect it that way, can I only use the 1 unit for plugin guitar and sound to another half? . thanks
Hi Gee Gee Have a listen to this recent demo: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jF-UQeiF0-c.html Sounds great to me... but I'm a pianist/keyboardist and a sound engineer - not a guitarist! What do you think?
I agree: the guitar does NOT sound good! The Martin D-28 guitar (wich is quality guitar) & Bose L1 Pro8 should've been tested a c o u s t i c a l l y : With a phantom powered Neumamm KM184 condenser microphone!
I knew the great BOSE era, the 802, the made in the USA, really fabulous and legendary. Here it breathes, it stinks of made in china. Research done, BOSE does not have a factory in China, it is all under contract and much too expensive compared to the cost of labor. In addition sound side ... it is not JBL (the brand of musicians for more than 50 years) brand at the origin of this bass cabinet + column configuration, a concept copied by everyone lacking creativity. The JBL EON ONE / PRO is the benchmark. All the components of very high quality are manufactured by JBL including exceptional speakers which allow a perfect power handling during very long hours. Parameters very often forgotten in the test.
I've used JBL and I keep going back to Bose for portable systems with clarity. I toured with the previous L1 series and it never let me down. Not knocking JBL, but they're completely different approaches to sound amplification and dispersion.
I will never own a smartphone or anything like it...(especially these days) so I really don't like that function, utterly useless to me. Will we ever get to perform anywhere again anyways?
So glad someone else thinks this sounds as horrible as I do. Maybe it’s just the pickup but this sounds like an acoustic plugged into an electric guitar amp. Tinny, shrill, and irritating. Just a dreadful sound. Yes piezos quack, but they can still sound way better than this. I think it’s the Bose.
