Anleitung Zusammenfassung
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. Recording Systems The BBE Sonic Maximizer can be used as an effect on individual tracks or applied overall during mixdown. The BBE process works very well to liven up the final mix, which is why the BBE 482i model is popular for use in both project and professional recording studios. 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. Front Panel Controls LED DISPLAY: The LED display is used to indicate the output signal level of the BBE 482i. Each number on the front panel corresponds to the output signal level, measured in decibels. Example: The “0” indicates a 0dBu signal level, “-6” refers to -6dBu, and so on. Once an input signal level has been established, increasing the BBE PROCESS and LO CONTOUR will increase the output signal and cause more LEDs to illuminate. The Clip LED monitors the input signal level. The Clip LED will illuminate at +15dBu, giving a 3dBu warning of the impending distortion at +18dBu, the actual clip point. LO CONTOUR: Regulates the amount of phase corrected bass frequencies. PROCESS: Regulates the amount of phase corrected treble frequencies. BBE FUNCTION: This push button switch allows for quick comparison of processed with unprocessed sound. When the switch is pushed in, the process is on and the indicator LED is green. When the switch is out, the process is off and the indicator LED is yellow. CHANNEL B: These controls function the same as CHANNEL A. POWER: This switch controls primary power to the BBE 482i. Things to Remember The BBE 482i is designed to work with -l0dBu line levels. This is suitable for professional and semi-pro mixers, P.A. consoles, recording studios, or D.J. equipment. The BBE 482i drives load impedances down to 1K Ohm and supplies a maximum output level of +18dBu. Plugging a guitar or other high impedance device directly into the BBE 482i will not work properly as its input impedance is less than 50K ohms. The bbe sonic maximizer is a line level signal processor and is to be connected prior to the power amp in any audio system. Significant damage may be inflicted to the bbe sonic maximizer or any subsequent component in the system in the event the output of a power amp is connected directly to the input of the bbe sonic maximizer. ............ Rear Panel Connections AC POWER CORD INLET: Plugs into AC power receptacle. U.S., Canada and Japan Models, 100-120Vac, 50/60Hz. All other models, 220~240Vac, 50/60Hz. FUSE: Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the fuse holder located in the bottom portion of the AC Power Cord inlet. Carefully pry the fuse holder free from its compartment to access fuse. (Note: For all models, replace with 250VAC, .2A slowblow type fuse.) OUTPUT: The output of the BBE 482i can be taken from the 1/4” Phone Jack or the RCA Jack. Both are unbalanced and are the same point electronically. This allows both outputs to be used simultaneously, eliminating the need for a “Y” cord in the event multiple outputs are required. The recommended single load impedance is at least 10k Ohms. If both outputs are being used, a minimum of a 22k Ohm load per device is required. (The “load” is determined by the input impedance of the next subsequent component in the signal chain.) The maximum output is rated at +18dBu. The output impedance of the BBE 482i is 1 k ohms. NOTE: Actual output level will vary due to the selected position of the BBE Process, and the actual input signal level. INPUT: The input of the BBE 482i is an unbalanced connection. Although it can be either a 1/4” Phone Plug or an RCA Plug, it is recommended that only one input source is used. Both jacks are the same point electronically, however, due to the input/output impedance characteristics of most audio devices, a loss of signal may occur and/or damage to a component if bo...
