I've had the Pro8 for almost a year and wanted to wait to review this. I wasn't sure whether to go with the Pro16 or Pro8 and spent much time reviewing and was really leaning for the Pro16, but decided to get the Pro8 incase I wanted to add a 2nd one down the road and use them in stereo mode. I have been asked to guest host some open mics at the brewery and use this along with the T8S mixer. I originally bought a separate mixer but took it back and went with the T8S, will review that separately. The Pro8 is very portable, and the inputs on the back are very easy to use for 1 person using a guitar & mic or 2 people plugging in to jam. My son plugs in his bass and I use my guitar.. I can control the settings, vol, treble, bass, reverb, mute, etc wirelessly on my phone via blu-tooth and play along with tracks on the 3rd input. The bass is very powerful and clear. I had many positive comments from the listeners at the open mic and from the performers who plugged in. I'm glad I spent the money. I use this mainly for breweries, patios, cafes, medium size venues. I don't plan to DJ weddings, but if I did I would not have a problem using it but having 2 pro8's would definitely do the job if you preferred to set them up that way. I bought the cover separately. The bag for the speaker and extension is much thicker and protects it well. Easy to carry, transport and setup. Highly recommend.

Just received my L1 Pro 8...I have owned 4 of the regular L1's previous to this....When its not broke dont fix it but BOSE MANAGED to do exactly that! Love this new Pro 8...sounds better...more powerful...and just as clean.....Nobody can go wrong with one of these....fantastic units ...I am a guitar &vocal....soloist and I do not believe there is anything to even hold a candle to this especially with my Tonematch miniture board I have complete sound adjustment at my fingertips on a stand beside me when I perform.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
