From Our Research Team:

The Cleanest, Most Natural Sound You've Ever Heard!

Take it from Sweetwater: there isn't a task in audio that can't benefit from the 882 Sonic Maximizer! A big claim, but it's true. In your studio, during performance or broadcast, for general sound reinforcement, the 882 works its special kind of audio magic.

This unit, which feature a 1/4" thick extruded aluminum faceplate 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.

The Sonic Maximizers 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. 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 882 Sonic Maximizer from BBE!

Only spent 10 bucks on my first purchase, but you treated me as if was spending a grand. Being an independent business owner, I know all to well the importance of dedicated customer service which is the best way to win over the corporate chains. Tootsie Rolls always win me over too. I'm sure some much bigger purchases are in our future.

This unit can make an average sound system come to life like a sound system worth much more... The 882i is a MUST for any serious performance and sound reinforcement.

Read all the reviews and most were very positive so you can imagine I was eagerly anticipating plugging this unit into my system. Having said that, I was also a bit skeptical as to how substantial or ... read more [+]how evident any improvements would be. Okay, so let's just say that my formerly average Yamaha non-powered mains now sound like a much higher end cabinet. I did a Dj gig at the beach and this other radio station announcer guy set up a P.A. not more than 200 feet from me. He was sporting some pretty high end powered mains, however my sound, with the maximizer, blew his doors right off. The 882i gave me more gain and it was all squeaky clean. So how do I feel? LOVE THIS UNIT!! close [-]
