482i Two Channel Sonic Maximizer
The 482i Sonic Maximizer from BBE delivers the sound-improving benefits of a
Maximizer signal processor in dual mono operation. The unit is housed in a
single rack space chassis and is intended for use in -l0dBu line level
applications.
For each channel there is a pair of Lo Contour and Process knobs plus a
five-segment LED input level meter. A single function button switches the BBE
process on or off in both channels, which is useful for comparing the processed
sound to the unprocessed sound.
An LED next to the function button glows green when the BBE process is on and
red when the process is off. The Lo Contour controls are for adjusting the level
of phase corrected low frequencies in the program material. The Process control
is for adjusting the level of phase corrected high frequencies in the program
material.
Applications for the unit include multi-track studios, mobile DJ systems,
nightclub sound systems, instrument racks for guitar, bass and keyboards and
cassette copying.
Features:
- Two independent BBE Sonic Maximizer signal processors in a
single chassis

frequency bands
- Variable front panel controls allow the user to adjust the
amount of process desired
- Process and Low Contour controls per channel
- Bypass switch for comparison of processed to unprocessed
signal
- Unbalanced 1/4" inputs and outputs
