* LINE IN EQ set to L1: 200 Hz <br>Use with any full size L1 System) 
** This is selected automatically when using the SubMatch cable connection with an L1 Pro32
* S1 Pro: 150 Hz
**  Press and hold LINE OUT EQ button for 4 seconds. The HPF LED will illuminate green. To deactivate the S1 Pro EQ, press and hold for
four seconds
*LINE IN EQ set to LPF: 100 Hz<br>Use this with third-party full-range and mid-high speaker systems
 
=== SubMatch Connection Signal Flow ===
[[File:Sub1 Sub2 io panel.jpg|thumb]]
====L1 Pro 32 SubMatch Output====
* Full range audio signal
* AC Power


Stack two Sub1 or Sub2 subwoofers in Cardioid Mode for focused, directional performance with reduced rear-firing bass energy (-10 dB SPL). This steers the bass out front, and reduces feedback. This is particularly useful when you have resonant instruments on the stage (e.g., kick drum, upright bass).
====Sub1/Sub2 SubMatch Pass Thru====
* Full range audio signal (unaffected by any settings on the Sub1/Sub2)
* AC Power


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.
====Sub1/Sub2 using a SubMatch port for input====
;LINE IN EQ (LPF or L1)
* The LINE IN EQ is automatically set to '''L1''' regardless of the position of the button


See the tutorial in the video below starting at 4:05.
;LINE OUT EQ (FULL RANGE or HPF)
* Line Out 1 LINE OUT EQ is FULL RANGE or HPF depending on the setting of the Line Out EQ button
* Line Out 2 LINE OUT EQ is FULL RANGE or HPF depending on the setting of the Line Out EQ button

Sub1 and Sub2 have extruded aluminum heat sinks mounted to the backside of the I/O panel. This pulls heat out of the electronics and transfers some to the air moving through the acoustic volume of the sub and helps to cool.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/BoseL1/permalink/10159635582172446/?comment_id=10159637158957446 Bose Professional]</ref>

== Comparing Power Stands to Subs ==
{{Comparing L1 Pro Power Stands to Subs}}
 
=== L1 Pro8 Power Stand compared to Sub1 ===
Both use the 7"x13" Racetrack transducer
 
The L1 Pro8 base is 31 pounds. The Sub1 is 35.5.
 
The L1 Pro8 base is slightly smaller than the Sub1.
 
The L1 Pro8 bass amp is 240 watts RMS. The Sub1 is 480 watts RMS.
 
The L1 Pro8 is 112 dB SPL continuous. The Sub1 is 118 dB SPL continuous.
 
The L1 Pro8 goes down to 45 Hz (-3 dB). The Sub1 goes down to 40 Hz (-3 dB).
 
=== L1 Pro16 Power Stand compared to Sub2 ===
Both use the 10"x18" Racetrack transducer
 
The L1 Pro16 base is 41.4 pounds. The Sub2 is 52.
 
The L1 Pro16 base is slightly smaller than the Sub2.
 
The L1 Pro16 bass amp is 1000 watts RMS. The Sub2 is 1000 watts RMS.
 
The L1 Pro16 is 118 dB SPL continuous. The Sub2 is 123 dB SPL continuous.
 
The L1 Pro16 goes down to 42 Hz (-3 dB). The Sub2 goes down to 37 Hz (-3 dB). The difference is due to the larger physical volume of the Sub2 enclosure.
 
=== Two Sub1s or Sub2 ===
Two Sub1s have approximately the same membrane surface area (180 square inches).
 
The power difference is negligible (960 watts RMS compared to 1000 watts RMS).
 
Two Sub1s tightly coupled (stacked or side-by-side) should provide up to +6 dB over a single Sub1 (118 + 6 = 124). The Sub 2 is 123 dB SPL. The difference is negligible.
 
The Sub1 goes down to 40 Hz. The Sub2 goes down to 37 Hz (-3 dB). The difference is due to the larger physical volume of the Sub2 enclosure. Running two Sub1s does not change the frequency response.
