User manual BBE SOUND FREE FUZZ REV 8-10

[. . . ] To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. AC Receptacle - Check to make sure that the AC receptacle holds the power cord plug firmly and securely. If the power cord plug is loose, contact your electrician to replace the defective and unsafe AC Foreign Objects - Be careful that foreign objects and liquids do not enter the enclosure through openings. Cleaning - unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. [. . . ] 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. 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. PROdUCT dESCRIPTION The BBE 382i is a dual channel, single rack space device for use in -10dBu unbalanced level applications. There are two separate channels that share the same front panel Lo Contour control and Process controls for ganged-stereo operation. 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. To prevent possible speaker or amplifier damage, always power-up peripheral devices first, wait 10 seconds, and then turn on the power amplifier. Turn off power amplifier first, then power-down peripheral devices. 4 Front Panel Controls 1. CLIP LED INPUT A: When illuminated this LED indicates that the output of the 382i has reached +15dBu. LO CONTOUR: Each channel shares a common LO CONTOUR CONTROL. This control regulates the amount of phase corrected bass frequencies. This adjustment ranges form 0dBu (fully counter-clockwise) to +12dBu (fully clockwise) at 50Hz relative to the input. PROCESS: Each channel shares a common PROCESS CONTROL. This control regulates the amount of phase corrected treble frequencies. This adjustment ranges from 0dB (fully counter-clockwise) to +12dBu (fully clockwise) at 5kHz relative to the input. CLIP LED INPUT B: When illuminated this LED indicates that the output of the 382i has reached +15dBu. PROCESS SWITCH: This push button switch allows for quick comparison of processed with unprocessed sound. [. . . ] MIXER KEYBOARD OR OTHER INSTRUMENT MULTI-TRACK TAPE RECORDER OR DAW INPUT MASTERING OR dUBBING Use the BBE 382i for mastering the recording. Even if the BBE Process has been used on individual tracks, an improvement on the total mix will be noticed. The bill of sales indicates that the purchase date of the equipment is not within the warranty period. All non-warranty repairs are warranted for a period of 90 days from the date of service. [. . . ]
