To configure cardioid subs, stack two identical modules as seen to the left, connect the top sub module to an L1 Pro32 via a SubMatch cable or an external source and A/C power. Next set the top sub to positive polarity and the bottom sub to cardioid mode by pressing and holding the polarity button until the CARDIOID LED is illuminated.

Note: Bose does not claim Cardioid mode increases the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) in front of the subwoofers. The main benefit is that it reduces the SPL behind the subwoofers.

===== Bose Sub1/Sub2 Documentation =====
Cardioid mode is for use with a stack of two identical Sub modules, which allows for most of the sound energy to be focused in front of the Sub stack while reducing the sound energy that is generated behind the Sub stack.
Press and hold the button for four seconds to select CARDIOID. The LED will illuminate white while selected. Press and hold again to switch back to +.
Cardioid mode should only be used in a stacked configuration of two identical Sub modules, with the top Sub facing the coverage area and the bottom Sub facing the non-coverage area.
Set the Phase/ Pattern of the top Sub to + and the Phase/Pattern of the bottom Sub to CARDIOID.
When adjusting the level of the stacked subs in Cardioid mode, be sure that the Level Control is set to the same position on both Subs.
See the below diagrams for Sub stack orientation and coverage patterns.
