User manual BBE SOUND 382ISW

[. . . ] Power-Cord Protection - Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by having objects placed on it, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits from the appliance. Grounding or Polarization - Do not defeat the grounding or polarization feature of the AC power cord. If your AC receptacle will not accept the power cord plug, contact your electrician to install a proper AC receptacle. When not in use - Unplug the power cord of the appliance from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time. [. . . ] For example, if you set the Frequency control to 40Hz - then only the information below 40Hz will be sent to the Sub-woofer Output jack. APPLICATIONS Music and P. A. Systems The BBE Sonic Maximizer is a welcome addition to any live sound P. A. system because the BBE circuit dramatically improves the clarity and intelligibility of vocals and musical instruments. Night club and mobile DJ systems will also benefit greatly from the BBE Process, with more depth, detail and punch over the entire mix. When using in conjunction with an equalizer, the Sonic Maximizer should be added after the equalizer in the signal chain. In the event that the equalizer is being used for drastic tone alteration, then insert the Sonic Maximizer before the equalizer in the signal chain. Placement either before or after an equalizer should have no negative effect on the unit or its processing ability, however most users find they prefer more modest use of their equalizers once the BBE Sonic Maximizer has been added to their sound systems. Instrument Racks The BBE Sonic Maximizer will deliver surprisingly good results in guitar, bass and keyboard rack systems. Electric guitars have added "bite", "chunk" and improved definition. As Guitar Player magazine said, "BBE is the most cost effective improvement you can add to your rig". Acoustic guitars processed with the BBE Sonic Maximizer have a breathtakingly natural sparkle and presence. Bassists will delight in the BBE Sonic Maximizer's ability to bring much more punch to the bottom end without muddying up the midrange. The BBE Sonic Maximizer is also great for keyboard rigs, with everything from the latest samples to a vintage Rhodes benefiting equally from the patented BBE process. SET-UP The BBE Sonic Maximizer is connected into the chain in series with the signal path the same way a graphic equalizer or limiter would be connected. The output of a mixer, pre-amp, or other sound source feeds the input of the Sonic Maximizer. Setting up the Sonic Maximizer as an echo send device like a digital reverb is not recommended as the processed effect is not fully realized when summed with the original source audio. In order to reduce the risk of damage to any equipment, properly connect all cables and power cables before turning on any components in the system. Things to Remember The BBE 382isw is designed to work with -l0dBu line levels. The BBE 382isw drives load impedances down to 1K Ohm and supplies a maximum output level of +20dBu. Plugging a guitar or other high impedance device directly into the BBE 382isw will not work properly as its input impedance is less than 50K ohms. Front Panel Controls 1. SUB FREQUENCY: The phase corrected low frequency information from both channels is summed together and directed through an 18dB/octave filter network. The SUB FREQUENCY control adjusts this filter and has a selectable range from 30Hz to 120Hz. By simply adjusting the Frequency control you can set the filter's frequency point of the Sub-woofer circuit. For example, if you set the Frequency control to 40Hz - then only the information below 40Hz will be sent to the Sub-woofer Output jack. SUB LEVEL: This control adjusts the output level of the sub-woofer circuit. [. . . ] The bill of sales indicates that the purchase date of the equipment is not within the warranty period.
