User manual BBE SOUND 651

[. . . ] For example, you should not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that might block the vent openings, or placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that might impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - If your appliance can be mounted to a wall or ceiling, mount it only as recommended. Accessories - Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. [. . . ] The Lo Contour control is 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. The SUB section consists of a FREQUENCY control and a LEVEL control. The phase corrected low frequency information from both channels is summed together and directed through an 18dB/octave filter network. The SUB FREQUENCY control adjusts this filter and has a selectable range from 30Hz to 120Hz. By simply adjusting the Frequency control you can set the filter's frequency point of the Sub-woofer circuit. For example, if you set the Frequency control to 40Hz - then only the information below 40Hz will be sent to the Sub-woofer Output jack. APPLICATIONS Music and P. A. Systems The BBE Sonic Maximizer is a welcome addition to any live sound P. A. system because the BBE circuit dramatically improves the clarity and intelligibility of vocals and musical instruments. Night club and mobile DJ systems will also benefit greatly from the BBE Process, with more depth, detail and punch over the entire mix. The BBE Sonic Maximizer can be hooked up to any P. A. or DJ sound system exactly like an equalizer would. 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 +17dBu, giving a 3dBu warning of the impending distortion at +20dBu, the actual clip point. LO CONTOUR: Regulates the amount of phase corrected low frequencies. PROCESS SWITCH: 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 red. PROCESS: Regulates the amount of phase corrected high frequencies. POWER: This switch controls primary power to the BBE 382isw. The BBE Sonic Maximizer is a line level signal processor and is to be connected prior to the power amp in any audio system. [. . . ] The input impedance of the 382isw is 47k Ohms. SUB WOOFER OUTPUT: The unbalanced low impedance line level output of the BBE 382isw can be taken from the 1/4" Phone Jack or the RCA Jack. WARNING!To prevent possible speaker or amplifier damage, always power-up peripheral devices first, wait 10 seconds, and then turn on the power amplifier. As the repair turnaround time is minimal, we request that the unit be sent to BBE Sound, Inc. [. . . ]
