:We have carefully voiced the system to have the "best" spectral balance. Ideally, this spectral should not change, no matter how many bass modules are attached. More bass modules simply allow you to play louder and have more headroom. Adding the second B1 will not change the spectral balance but play louder.

More bass modules simply allow you to play louder and have more headroom. Adding the second B1 will not change the spectral balance but play louder.

The PS1 senses how many B1 bass modules are attached (0***, 1 or 2) and adjusts the internal EQ accordingly. In the case of attaching the second B1 the Power Stand will drop the bass level by about 6 dB so that the overall acoustic output stays the same.
