7. armonic components of a given musical note or sound These relationships define a sound s sound When these complex relationships pass through a speaker the proper order is lost The higher frequencies are delayed A lower frequency may reach the listener s ear first or perhaps simultaneously with that of a higher frequency In some cases the fundamental components may be so time shifted that they reach the listener s ear ahead of some or all of the harmonic components This change in the phase and amplitude relationship on the harmonic and fundamental frequencies is technically called envelope distortion The listener perceives this loss of sound integrity in the reproduced sound as muddy and smeared In the extreme it can become difficult to tell the difference between musical instruments for example an oboe and a clarinet BBE Sound Inc conducted extensive studies of numerous speaker systems over a ten year period With this knowledge it became possible to identify the characteristics of an ideal speaker and to distill the corrections necessary to return the fundamental and harmonic frequency structures to their correct order While there are differences among various speaker designs in the magnitude of their correction the overall pattern of correction needed is remarkably consistent The BBE Process is so unique that 42 patents have been awarded by the U S Patent Office Authorization iLok USB Smart Key What is an iL

13. t users find they prefer more modest use of their equalizers once the BBE D82 Sonic Maximizer has been added to their sound systems Several presets have been provided to get you started using the D82 Sonic Maximizer however there is no right way to it Simply adjust the settings to determine what sounds right to you We believe that you can never have enough Sonic Maximizing The D82 Sonic Maximizer does not generate new harmonic material as many other types of audio enhancers do Rather it corrects the phase shift and distortion that happens naturally when the sound is reproduced by the speakers Because the BBE process is unique you can use the plugin with other sonic enhancer products you may have Even though the plugin was calibrated with several different Sonic Maximizer units there may be a discrepancy between the levels of an actual BBE unit and the levels of the plugin Such variations are normal because of the slight differences that exist in the potentiometers and analog nature of the Sonic Maximizer The plugin LEDs will provide an accurate visual representation of what is happening with the processed signal in most software applications However with some applications or when preview mode is used the LED levels may not correspond because the applications route audio signals through the plugin before sending the actual result out to the sound card The meters on the D82 Sonic Maximizer react to the signal that is currentl
