THE BBE PROCESS—"WHAT IT IS" Loudspeakers have difficulty working with the electronic signals supplied by an amplifier. These difficulties cause such major phase and amplitude distortion that the sound reproduced by speaker differs significantly from the sound produced by the original source. In the past, these problems proved unsolvable and were thus delegated to a position of secondary importance in audio system design. However, phase and amplitude integrity is essential to accurate sound reproduction. Research shows that the information which the listener translates into the recognizable characteristics of a live performance are intimately tied into complex time and amplitude relationships between the fundamental and harmonic 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. FRONT PANEL LOW CONTOUR CONTROL Regulates the amount of phase corrected bass frequencies. 15dB PAD SWITCH This toggle switch selects the desired gain range of the DI-100x. When the switch is down, the DI100x is in normal mode. When the Pad switch is up, the DI-100x input is attenuated by 15dB. Regulates the amount of phase correction. PROCESS CONTROL 1/4” INPUT CONNECTOR The 1/4” input connector of the DI-100x is unbalanced. The 1/4” input is designed for running instrument cables directly into the DI-100x. IN/OUT TOGGLE SWITCH Engages the Sonic Maximizer Process. When the switch is pushed up, the BBE Process is on. When the switch is down, the BBE Process is off. 1/4” THRU CONNECTOR This 1/4 “ connector is wired in parallel to the Input connector and is used for continuing the connection to the instrument amplifier. REAR PANEL XLR OUTPUT CONNECTOR BATTERY COMPARTMENT The XLR output of the DI-100x is Note: The XLR and 1/4” output Use a standard 9Volt battery. balanced. The XLR outpu...
