On the relatively rare occasion where you might need to connect the output from one PS1 Power Stand (Classic) / Model I to another PS1 Power Stand (Classic) / Model I:

You can

Run your mic into the first L1™ PS1 Powerstand (let's say - Channel 1).
In Channel 1 insert an XLR cable from the Channel 1 Line Out
At the other end of the cable connect a Pad. The people-at-Bose usually recommend a -20 dBu pad. Some owners have reported success with a -10 dBu pad.
Connect the Pad to the second PS1 Power Stand (Classic) / Model I Channel 1 or 2.
On the first PS1 Power Stand (Classic) / Model I, set the input trim appropriately.
Choose the best preset for your microphone.
On the second PS1 Power Stand (Classic) / Model I, the input trim should be similar to what you set on the first one, but check the trim o/l light for a solid green light (occasional red flickers are okay).
On the second PS1 Power Stand (Classic) / Model I, use the same preset as you used for the first one.

Arrows indicate the direction the signal is flowing.

Position the two L1 s at least 20 feet apart to avoid the possibility of odd phase effects in the audience. More detail: Phase Cancellation
