•Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

•Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

•Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

•Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is dam- aged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

•The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

•WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

•The appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

•Connect only to AC power outlets rated: 100/120V 220/240V 50/60Hz (depending on the voltage range of the included power supply).

•Prolonged listening at high volume levels may cause irreparable hearing loss and/or damage. Always be sure to practice “safe listening.”

• Service is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as:

• power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

• liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus.

• the unit has been exposed to rain or moisture.

•the unit is dropped or the enclosure is damaged.

•the unit does not operate normally or changes in performance in a significant way.

•The L2t and L2m provide attachment points for suspending the speaker. The rear panel suspension point is only for adjusting the projection angle.

•Consult an authorized, licensed engineer prior to suspending any speaker overhead. Improper installation may result in damage, injury or death.

•Always follow all municipal building codes, as well as any local, state, and federal safety guidelines regarding the installation and operation of loudspeakers and associated peripherals.

Welcome!

StageSource L2t / L2m Speaker

For the solo performer or duo, the StageSource L2t is a simple, powerful, and compact integrated live sound solution. Used as a standalone PA system, performers can benefit from a feature set designed to cover all their needs, including a built-in mixer with two mic/instrument inputs, full three-band EQ with sweepable mid, Smart Effects (modulation and reverb), Line 6 acoustic guitar modeling, which improves the output signal of an acoustic guitar outfitted with piezo pickups, and 12-band feedback suppression technology. For larger bands, live sound events, or houses of worship, StageSource L2t can be configured into full front-of-house and monitor systems. Connected via L6 LINK, the proprietary Line 6 networking protocol, StageSource L2t speakers automatically detect each other and adjust their settings accordingly. Used in a system with StageSource L3s subwoofers, crossovers and levels are automatically set for best performance.

The L2t features six innovative Smart Speaker modes, each of which optimizes the speaker’s output for a variety of performance scenarios, including front-of-house PA loudspeaker, floor monitor, and speaker for keyboards, acoustic guitars, or with Line 6 POD® multi-effect processors as a high-performance electric guitar backline. Smart Speaker modes can be set manually or with the built-in orientation sensors that can detect whether the speaker has been pole-mounted or tilted for use as a monitor, and adjust the mode accordingly.

When connected via L6 LINK, StageSource speakers and the StageScape M20d digital mixer are capable of unparalleled power and flexibility.

Together they explode the typical mixer-speaker paradigm to introduce a smarter live sound experience in which the live rig is a complete, intelligent ecosystem rather than merely a linear combination of components.

The StageSource L2m has been specifically designed to meet the needs of anyone who requires a powerful and flexible PA solution. Its feature set is identical to the L2t, with the exception of the multi-channel mixer panel.

Features

•High performance 2-way, bi-amped 800+ Watt performance

•Smart Speaker Modes for great live sound in any live sound situation

•On-board Accelerometer and Pole-mount sensors

•Virtual Tilt-back projects speaker’s output upwards in backline mode

•L6 LINKTM multi-channel digital audio networking for multi-speaker setups

•When laid on its side, can be positioned so the speakers fire at an upward angle of 30°, 60°, or 90°.

•Dual-braced tour-grade plywood enclosure

•Full screen backed steel grille

•Retractable handle for easy portability

•Four M10 suspension points and one M10 pullback point

L2t / L2m Callouts

1.LED – The front-panel LED glows white when the speaker is powered, flashes red when the limiter circuit is active, and glows blue when receiving communication from StageScape M20d.

2.Logo – The Line 6 logo badge can be rotated 90°. Gently pull outward, rotate to match the desired orientation, and snap back into place.

3.Handle – This robust carrying handle doubles as a stand, allowing the L2t/L2m to be angled upwards at 30° (see illustration, below left).

4.Endcaps – The heavy-duty endcaps double as carrying handles.

5.Pole Mount and Accelerometer– The pole mount accommodates standard 35 mm diameter speaker poles. If any “backline” mode is chosen (Keyboard, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar), the L2t/L2m then checks its orientation (via the accelerometer) and looks to see if it is on a pole (via the pole sensor). If the speaker is vertical and not on a pole, the L2t/L2m activates “virtual tilt-back”, which optimizes the speaker tuning to achieve an upward tilt to its main axis. This helps to aim the sound upward towards the performer’s ears when the speaker is placed on the ground.

If the speaker is on a pole, virtual tilt-back is not activated. It is assumed that the speaker is elevated and is being aimed in the desired direction.

6.Suspension Points – The L2t/L2m has M10 threaded attachment points for suspending the speaker—Two suspension points on the top, two suspension points on the bottom, and one pull-back point on the rear panel, located behind the lower kickstand.

7.Kickstands – Two back-panel kickstands flip out, allowing the L2t/L2m to be angled upwards at 60° (see illustration, below right).

8.Side Panel (L2t only) – The side panel contains the musician-centric inputs and controls you’ll use most often.

9.Rear Panel – The rear panel contains the P.A.-centric inputs, outputs, and controls.
