Best piece of kit for the money!!!
:oops: Sorry to be a smart ass on my first post, put i had to chime in on Twilight's first post.
You obviously read the blurb on the BBE site, but youv'e got it all a bit arse about tip!
Normally a speaker kicks out, and the ear perceives, bass frequencies first so as to muddy up the mids and highs which follow slightly later. A maximiser slows down and phase corrects the lower frequencies first, then mids, etc., to alow mids and highs to catch up - hence making the overall sound more sparkly and true to the way the sound was created.
or - speaker sound :-
treble ..........
mid ...............
bass ....................
becomes, with BBE:-
treble .................
mid ................
bass ...............
A good point to remember is that at low volumes, the ear picks up mid frequencies most, and that at high volumes, the bass and highs are processed by the human ear most, giving a naturally scooped sound.
This means that at gig volumes, you need to turn down the BBE low contour and high process a bit, otherwise the audience will only hear a boomy fizz - defeating the purpose somewhat
