Know before you buy
Yes. While the SubMatch cable provides a seamless, single-cable power and audio connection for the L1 Pro32, the SUB2 also features standard auxiliary inputs that allow it to integrate with other PA systems.
Cardioid Mode directs the bass energy forward toward your audience rather than behind the stage. This helps minimize unwanted feedback and keeps the low-end output focused where you need it most.
Yes, the SUB2 is designed to be stackable. You can connect up to two modules to a single L1 Pro32 system to significantly increase your low-frequency output.
No, the SUB2 features an integrated 1000W Class D amplifier. It is an active subwoofer, meaning it is self-powered and ready to use once connected to your audio source.

Yes, the unit includes an integrated threaded pole mount. This allows you to securely attach a compatible speaker pole to elevate your mid-high frequency speakers directly above the subwoofer.
