=== Bass Line Out: Model II post firmware 1.4 with System EQ 1.04 ===
{{{panelImage|[[Image:ModelIIBassOutputs.png|Model II Bass Outputs]]}}}[[Image:B2 Bass Level Switch.png|B2 Bass Level Switch]]


September 2012

:Bose released Model II Power Stand [[L1%C2%AE_Model_II_Power_Stand_Firmware_Updates#Version_1.4|Model II firmware 1.4 with System EQ 1.04]] to support the {{B2}} with the three position Bass Level Switch ( + Normal - ). Note: Support and behaviors for [[B1]](s) is unchanged. 
 
:The behavior of the bass line out with the {{B2}} Bass Module outputs on the [[Model 1S]] and [[Model II]] are based on the philosophy that adding {{B2}}s should give the user more bass output immediately. This changes the tonal balance as soon as you add a second B2 using an {{A1}} connected to the Bass Line Out. This is unlike the behaviour with B1 bass modules where the signal is attenuated as you add more B1s to maintain the tonal balance at lower volume levels. 

:Note: If no bass modules are detected at the Bass Module Output the Bass Line Out EQ will be set to the B2 curve with the B2 switch set to Normal.

=== Powered Subwoofers ===
The Model II is an integrated system that supports Bose B1 and B2 bass modules. Connecting powered subwoofers to the Model II Power Stand Bass Line Out  is not supported because EQ curves for the B1 or B2 are present at the Bass Line Out.  This may or may not result in good results with a powered subwoofer.  

If you want to use a powered subwoofer, connect your signal source to the subwoofer and connect the subwoofer high pass filter output to the L1® (any model).
