- Frank Johnson at Venue 3 The Blue Bell has a BOSE compact L1 and L2 PA equipment in use and on display and a BOSE sound engineer on hand to talk to until 4pm each day over the festival weekend.The equipment combines superb acoustic performance with staggeringly compact, lightweight design. These systems are typically capable of filling a 500 seat auditorium with crystal clear sound in such a way that the performers hear the same as their audience, eliminating the need for stage monitors. The configuration virtually eliminates feedback - come and have a listen.
