482i Sonic Maximizer

The BBE 482i Sonic Maximizer is a 2-channel signal processor designed for use in -10dBu line level applications. It features dual-mono operation with independent Lo Contour and Process controls for each channel. The Lo Contour control adjusts the level of phase-corrected low frequencies, while the Process control adjusts the level of phase-corrected high frequencies in the program material. The unit also includes a 5-segment LED output level meter, a BBE function button to switch the BBE process on or off, and an LED indicator to show the status of the BBE process.
