Description

Excerpt from user's manual:
“TheBBE Process has been designed to make music programs more intelligible andlife-like than normally achieved with existing audio systems.
The BBE Process works dynamically by boostingthe harmonic content of the music program, as determined by the signal input,and imparting a linear phase shift across the audio spectrum.
The phase shift allows for a separation ofthe high, mid and low frequencies so that they do not arrive at the speakernetwork at precisely the same time.
Thisprevents the higher frequencies from being smothered.
(As the phase shift is minimal, 2milliseconds, it is not perceived as a delay or echo.)
The amount of harmonic amplification isvariable as selected by the PROCESS knob, to achieve crisp, tight musicprogram.
The LO CONTOUR knob is a bassfrequency adjustment.
When turnedclockwise, the LO CONTOUR will add power and warmth to the music program.
If your musical tastes require the bassfrequencies be reduced, turn the knob counter-clockwise.
Although the majority of the process isachieved with the higher frequencies of the music program, the BBE Process willmake a significant difference with the entire program…the distinctive sound of a guitar, a piano, or any musical instrument, is much more evident.”
