More info and reviews on  Bose L1 Model II System

Great for one man shows and portability. Good for parties and weddings in ballrooms. Where loudness is not the important thing but quality and the clients can dance and talk to each other.

There is an excellent forum for the Bose L1 systems here, but make sure you go to the DJ’s section.

One of the most frequent comments is “I can’t believe how CLEAR the sound is!”

Ok, these PAs are not for those who are looking for the ‘loud’ power. If you do then I would recommend the QSC HPR series which are excellent in sound and lots of power!

DJ Mouse Controller

DJ Mouse Controller

I haven’t tried this myself but it does look interesting especially the mouse.

And there is the specially designed mat.

Looks pretty funky!

There is a package with this mouse and DeckaDance software.

I am not a fan of DeckaDance , I tried the trial version a year ago and it didn’t come to my liking.

I prefer Mixmeister Fusion.

Okay so watch a video here:
