K&K Pure Western Acoustic Guitar Pickup (mini)

K&K Pure Western Acoustic Guitar Pickup (mini) Review



K&K Pure Western Acoustic Guitar Pickup (mini) Feature

  • Low-impact installation
  • Faithful reproduction of your guitar's unplugged tone
  • Preamp such as K&K Pure XLR recommended
If we were to judge the caliber of acoustic guitar pickups simply by customer response, then the K&K Pure Western would be the hands-down winner. Our customers simply love this pickup, often coming back to order 3 or 4 more after installing one for the first time. Like the B-Band AST and the PUTW #27, the K&K Pure pickup secures to the underside of your bridgeplate, inside the guitar. Although it's officially a passive pickup, it generates a high output, using 3 pickup heads (4 for the "Classic" version), to capture the warmth of your guitar with remarkable accuracy. These pickups are designed to be super-glued to the soundboard, but K&K is now also shipping them with adhesive nylon strips, so you can experiment with placement first, if you so choose. Also, some smaller guitars (like 00s and parlors) require the smaller version of the Pure pickup, with slightly smaller pickup heads. It is worth noting, too, that while this smaller version (the "mini") was originally designed for use in smaller instruments, K&K is now recommending it for all permanent installations of the Pure.

Bose L1 Compact Portable Line Array System

Bose L1 Compact Portable Line Array System Review



Bose L1 Compact Portable Line Array System Feature

  • Bose® Spatial DispersionTM loudspeaker technology delivers sound evenly across the stage and throughout the audience-even to the extreme sides
  • Two ToneMatch® channels with fixed presets for a handheld microphone and an acoustic guitar
  • Integrated bass speaker in power stand
  • Two setup positions: collapsed for smaller spaces or extended for larger ones
  • Ideal for musical performances, mobile DJs, classrooms, business presentations and other events
Introducing the L1 Compact portable line array system. Carry it in one trip. Set it up in one minute. Fill the room with Bose sound. The L1 Compact system combines conventional PA and monitors into one sleek unit. Positioned behind or to the side of a performer, DJ or presenter, it delivers wide, even sound coverage throughout the stage area and audience-even off to the extreme sides. It's our smallest, lightest, easiest-to-set-up L1 system, weighing just 29 pounds. Big sound. Small package. Now you can have quality Bose sound for almost any gig, event or occasion. The L1 Compact system is small enough to fit in your trunk or back seat, and its innovative modular design makes setup easy and fast. You can arrange it in either a collapsed configuration for smaller spaces or a taller, extended configuration for larger ones. No extra gear to haul. No heavy speakers to hoist onto stands. No speaker cables. A different loudspeaker The L1 Compact system's slim loudspeaker distributes sound clearly and evenly throughout the room, thanks to Bose Spatial Dispersion technology. The speaker's unusual vertical shape makes it distinctly different from conventional PA speakers_and has a very positive effect on sound coverage. Even audience and band members off to the extreme sides hear the same clear, tonally balanced sound as those in front. The L1 Compact loudspeaker array is smaller than those in L1 Model I and II systems, but it produces comparable horizontal sound coverage. L1 Model I and Model II loudspeakers project sound further with less dropoff of volume than the L1 Compact array. Integrated system With the L1 Compact system, you don't have to carry a separate amplifier, mixer or bass cabinet: They're already built in. The system's power stand includes an integrated bass speaker and amplifier, plus a built-in mixer providing a total of four inputs and two outputs.
