TheDSP topology has not been published, but the result is a controlled band‑pass feed that keeps the B1 operating safely and musically. | |||
The S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ do not provide this processing. Their XLR Line Out is full‑range and unprocessed. | The S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ do not provide this processing. Their XLR Line Out is full‑range and unprocessed. | ||

Without this processing, the B1 will not perform as intended and may be at risk of low‑frequency over‑excursion if driven hard. | Without this processing, the B1 will not perform as intended and may be at risk of low‑frequency over‑excursion if driven hard. | ||
For bass reinforcement with the S1 Pro or S1 Pro+, the Bose Sub1 is the recommended solution. It includes internal DSP, limiting, crossover management, and a built‑in 480 W amplifier, and accepts a full‑range line‑level signal directly from the S1 Pro/S1 Pro+. | For bass reinforcement with the S1 Pro or S1 Pro+, the Bose Sub1/Sub2 is the recommended solution. It includes internal DSP, limiting, crossover management, and a built‑in 480 W amplifier, and accepts a full‑range line‑level signal directly from the S1 Pro/S1 Pro+. | ||
