Smaller speakers for monitors

Hi,

 

I've just been reading up about the M20d and the L3 seriers of speakers and absolutely love the idea of it- the 'smart' mixing desk, the l6 link, ipad compatability. However i feel there are a couple of things missing.

I'm happy spending £800ish on a main PA speaker, but i dont want to spend that amound on a monitor. I also do not need 1400w of power for a monitor. Does anyone know if Line 6 are thinking about bringing out a 100-200w version of the speakers? (at a correspondingly lower price!)

 

using the m20d and the l3 speakers together i can run just one cable for the outputs. but is there something equivalent for the inputs? e.g. a line 6 'stage box' with 16 or 20 inputs that can have 1 cable running to the mixing desk. i know that you have the potential of keeping the mixing desk on stage, and using the ipad as the controller (negating the need for a 'multi-core'), but something inside me worries about leaving the mixing desk on stage - either the musicians being able to control everything! or if something goes wrong the PA guys will have to fix it up on stage.

 

thanks to line 6 for coming up with a game changing solution that looks like it will actually work!

    without giving anything away ... I would say it is save to assume that the speaker line will grow in both directions over time

    Re: Smaller speakers for monitors

    I was hoping the same thing as OP. I recently bought a pair of L3T's and L3S subs (love them by the way!!), as the first items in putting together a whole rig (mics, console, mains, monitors etc.), and am in same boat as OP in regards to monitors. I'm good with an other pair 2 L3M's for rear/instrument wedges, but I would love to see a smaller version for front/vocal wedges. I'm thinking either the same design with 2x8" instead of the 2 x 10" (or maybe even 2 x 6"), or maybe the same design as the L3M but with a single 10".

     

    As for the digital snake option, I don't see a need for it on the M20d, as it's target market is bands mixing themselves, and everything about it's feature set seems to indicate that. Howver, I would love to see the M20d concept in a larger and more "pro" platform: Something like 20 XLR ins, 4-6 TRS ins, maybe 4-6 monitor outs, maybe a larger screen and a few AUX outs for things like camera feeds etc. A digital snake option I think would be mandatory for a product like that aimed more at techs than musicians; especially at the price point such a product would go for.

     

    Can't wait to see what L6 has coming down the pipe for 2013:)
