Correct phase misalignment and enhance your PA system's sound with the BBE 882i Sonic Maximizer. 
Home recording gurus use it for mastering purposes as well to add clarity to hi's and low's.  
This two-channel unit has 1/4" TRS and XLR balanced I/O.

Balanced I/O to Tighten Up Your Sound System
The flagship of BBE's series of Sonic Maximizer rack processors, the easy-to-use BBE 882i Sonic Maximizer adds delay times to lower frequencies on a curve, counteracting the natural phase delay between bass and treble frequencies. As a result, the whole signal reaches your audience at once -- reproducing what's happening on stage with all the brightness and punch that was there to begin with. Simply put, the 882i Sonic Maximizer optimizes your mix for being reproduced through speakers, evening out those phase misalignments between high and low frequencies. And with balanced XLR and TRS I/O and 23 dB of output headroom, this rack processor is built to work with professional PA systems anywhere.

Make The Most of Your PA System
A signal going through a set of speakers suffers as a result of frequency-dependent phase shifting -- a delay in sound reproduction between high and low frequencies. Inductance in the voice coil of a speaker causes the impedance to rise as the frequency does. This results in high frequencies taking longer to hit the listener's ear than low frequencies. This is a real killer when it comes to the attack of instruments like guitar, piano, or bass, and especially for percussive instruments, which live and die by their attack. A sound system suffering from this sounds muffled or muddy. The Sonic Mamximizer counteracts this by adding delay to the lower frequencies on a specific curve, letting the highs come through with proper phase alignement.

Smart EQ for Deeper Lows and Crisper Highs
In addition to suffering from frequency-dependent phase-shifting, full-range speakers often reproduce lowest and highest frequencies at a lower efficiency than all the stuff in the middle. This is more or less an accepted fact of most PA speakers -- which is why systems often come with high and low frequency boost switches to alleviate this issue. However, BBE's Sonic Maximizer series augment these frequencies intelligently and in conjunction with their delay curve.


Tough, Professional Build Quality
Designed for professional live sound applications that require high headroom, low noise, and +4 dBu input levels, the stereo/dual mono BBE 882i Sonic Maximizer has 1/4" TRS and XLR balanced I/O, all in a case that's built for extreme strength. The 882i's 1/4-inch-thick extruded alumninum faceplate is bolted to the chassis with hex head bolts, with knurled aluminum knobs mounted directly to the pressed circuit board for ease of control over fine adjustments. It even boasts improved graphics to make it easy to read in dim venues.
