The crossover in the power stand is a pretty steep one, 24dB/octave. So an octave above crossover, the B1's are 24dB down and below crossover the L1's are 24dB down. They get out of each other's way pretty quickly. | The crossover in the power stand is a pretty steep one, 24dB/octave.

The first statement is not particularly bothersome. Your auditory system is well calibrated to that. A voice sounds normal because it sounds like what you are used to, not because it has “constant sound energy” or “constant perceived loudness” with frequency. | The first statement is not particularly bothersome.

The second statement is much more trouble. It basically says that if you amplify an acoustic source (even if you do it perfectly), the perceived spectral balance will change. This is a well known effect, and most of our home entertainment systems have actually and “automatic loudness compensation” that changes the system voicing with overall level. We actually contemplated adding this to the Personalized Amplification System™ but after some soul searching we thought it would be too intrusive on the musician. | The second statement is much more trouble.

The main corrections are at very low levels, and in most practical live music settings, the effect is pretty minor. | The main corrections are at very low levels, and in most practical live music settings, the effect is pretty minor. | ||
As a rule-of-thumb guideline, turn the bass up a notch as you turn the volume down. | As a rule-of-thumb guideline, turn the bass up a notch as you turn the volume down. | ||
