L1® Model II

portable line array system

Key Features

High-performing, powered, portable two-way loudspeaker system with a 195° H x 0° V nominal dispersion designed for the production and reproduction of live music, music playback, speeches and A/V sound reproduction

24-driver articulated line array loudspeaker technology produces wide, uniform sound coverage throughout the entire listening area— even off to the extreme sides

Consistent front-to-back coverage, 24 drivers mounted in a vertical line array produce little drop in sound pressure level per doubling in distance than a conventional point source

Retractable folding leg mechanism for easy transport

Lightweight, interlocking components

Expandable bass design supports the use of multiple B1 bass modules or a single B2 bass module

Digital Ethercon port provides single-wire connectivity for the T1 ToneMatch audio engine

Product Overview

The L1 Model II is our most advanced system for audiences up 500, featuring a 24-speaker articulated line array to provide our best tonal balance and coverage, and highest output.
