General Interest Articles for L1 System users.


A Wiki This is a new way to work with the knowledge that we have been building on the Bose® Pro Portable PA Community. See Why A Wiki.

Interesting features of using a Wiki approach:

  • L1 System owners can add or edit articles here.
  • Extremely good search and categorization capability.

Getting Started

  • Click the links in the menu at the top left.
  • Try the search box (just type in a keyword that comes up in the forum and click Search). Terms to try (individual words) Gain Mixer Mono Phase Chris Cliff Hilmar (hint: you can double click a keyword and drag it into the search box. Then click Search).
  • Try the Random page link (just keep clicking it for a fast trip around the wiki). After you try it once, you can use the link in the top left menu keep going.

On most pages you will see category links across the bottom. You can try those too.
