The Differences in Detail
Sound System: Where the C2 Differs Most
This is what makes the C2 stand out the most.
The LiberLive C1 uses a 25W combined speaker, which sounds good enough for playing at home or with a small group.
The LiberLive C2 features Liber AOS (Audio Operating System), an all-new multi-core audio processing system. Its 45W speaker system is split into a 30W bass woofer and 15W for mids and highs. The result is sound that's clearly louder, deeper and more detailed. It feels like holding a small band in your hands.
Battery and Charging
The LiberLive C1 uses two 2000mAh batteries, plays for 6 hours through the built-in speaker and fully charges in about 2 hours.
The LiberLive C2 comes with a 2500mAh battery that plays for longer, up to 8 hours, and supports DC 20V/2A Fast Charge for a full charge in just 2.5 hours, much quicker than the C2's standard charging time of about 4 hours.
Audio Output: For Those Serious About Sound
The LiberLive C1 has only a 3.5mm line out, which suits headphones or regular Bluetooth speakers.
The LiberLive C2 has both 3.5mm and 6.35mm outputs, so you can plug straight into a standard guitar amplifier without an adapter. That makes the C2 suitable for real stage performances and studio recording too.
Travel Case vs Standard Bag
The LiberLive C1 comes with a standard fitted fabric bag.
The LiberLive C2 comes with a purpose-designed Travel Case that's sturdier, offers better shock protection and looks the part for taking out of the house or onto a plane.
Bluetooth Speaker Mode
The LiberLive C2 has a special feature the C1 doesn't: it doubles as a Hi-Fi Bluetooth speaker for playing music from your phone when you're not making music. With its 45W speaker, the sound quality in this mode is excellent.
Who Are the LiberLive C1 and C2 For?
The LiberLive C1 is ideal for: People just starting out in music on a limited budget, or anyone who wants the lightest possible stringless guitar to carry around. It still delivers a great, fun playing experience at home or with a small group.
The LiberLive C2 is ideal for: Anyone who wants a more complete music experience, whether you're a beginner who wants Hi-Fi sound, a musician who wants to plug into a real amp, or someone who'd like a Bluetooth speaker built into the same device. The C2 is the better value in the long run.
Why Choose the LiberLive C2?
In short, the C2 beats the C1 in 6 key areas:
- Nearly twice the sound — 45W vs 25W speaker, with the all-new Liber AOS sound system
- 2 more hours of playing time — 8 hrs vs 6 hrs through the built-in speaker
- Fast Charge — full charge in 2.5 hrs with the dedicated adapter
- Both 3.5mm and 6.35mm outputs — works with guitar amps and pro gear
