From Our Research Team:The Cleanest, Most Natural Sound You've Ever Heard?Sweetwater helps you excite your sound! There isn't a task in audio that can't benefit from the 482 Sonic Maximizer! A big claim, but it's true. In your studio, during performance or broadcast, for general sound reinforcement, the 482 works a special kind of audio magic.BBE 482 Sonic Maximizer at a Glance:
Easy to read and use in dimly-lit environments The Sonic Maximizer 482, which features a 1/4" thick extruded aluminum face plate anchored to chassis via hex head bolts, also benefits from improved graphics which are easier to read in poorly lit environments. In addition, new knurled, aluminum knobs have been incorporated for ease of control and a more positive feel, often critical to musicians, live sound mixers and DJs making fine adjustments mid-performance. Reveals the sonic brilliance of your performance The Sonic Maximizer can coax out the authentic sonic brilliance of a performance, giving you clean sound unhampered by the deviations that occur anytime music is played through a sound system. The highs in your sound are bright and articulate, the lows are tight and rich, the strings sparkle, the percussion cracks, the vocals shine. Delivers a new level of realism to your instruments Your instruments take on a whole new level of realism - the level they lost when they were first recorded or played through a sound system. And the final result is pure and musical. You hear the great performance; you don't hear the machine at work. Experience the magic of the 482 Sonic Maximizer! BBE 482 Sonic Maximizer Features:

The BBE 482i Sonic Maximizer offers two channels of BBE’s patented sound enhancement technology. It will brighten, clarify, and add depth and punch to your sound.October 29, 2006 Music Background: Hobbyist It works by prevent... read more [+]ing the frequency robbing phase cancellation effect typical in traditional sound reinforcement technology by adding a delay of 2.5 milliseconds to the bass frequencies, 0.5 ms to the midrange, and also passing the high frequencies through a Voltage Control Amplifier (VCA), providing continuous dynamic amplitude corrections, ensuring proper high frequency content in the final audio signal and ensuring that the frequency content of the sound coming off your speakers hits your ear at the proper time, eliminating “muddiness” and “smearing”. The unit features a process control, offering up to 10db of phase compensated high frequency boost and a low contour knob offering up to 10db of phase compensated boost at the 50 hz frequency range. There is also an on/off switch, a bypass switch for comparing your effected sound to the bypassed sound, and an LED/clipping indicator. I use the 482 in the effects loop of my Vox AD-120 VTX. It works great to give solid state and digital modeling amplifiers a dynamic range on par with that of all-tube amps. With my VTX switched to the Modern High Gain, Recto, or US High Gain amp models, the BBE creates a huge, tight modern Metal sound. When used with the Plexi and Vox models, the BBE creates a bright, punchy classic crunch sound. When used with the Blackface 2X12 model, it creates a sparkly, present sound with a full and satisfying low end. Any of the available BBE Sonic Maximizer models are a highly recommended and cost effective method to improve your sound. close [-] Magic Button
