Bbe 462 sonic maximizer manual

Clip LED to monitor signal input level, per channel. Four-level LED indicators to monitor output level, per channel. Housed in a powered 1U rack mount. The process works dynamically by boosting the harmonic content of the music, as determined by the signal input, and imparting a linear phase shift across the audio spectrum.

The phase shift allows for a separation of the high, mid, and low frequencies so they do not arrive at the speaker at precisely the same time. This prevents the higher frequencies from being smothered. As the phase shift is minimal — 2 milliseconds — it is not perceived as a delay or echo. Turned clockwise, it adds power and warmth to the bass. Counter-clockwise it will reduce the bass. Although the majority of the process is achieved with the higher frequencies, the BBE will make a significant difference with the entire dynamic range.

What allows the listener to identify the respective instruments is the harmonic content. By realigning the phase relationship and amplitude of the harmonic frequencies, the distinctive sound of a guitar, keyboard, or any instrument is much more evident.

I still have the original box and packing material, which I will use to ship it. Reviews of this Shop. Product Specs.
