Examples of Applications
Example A: Using the MaxxBCL as a Sound Reinforcement
(SR) enhancing module
Connection:
Connect your analog/digital stereo sum to the MaxxBCL analog/digital in-
puts (select the proper input format using the input selector). Connect the
MaxxBCL’s analog outputs to your Crossovers/PA inputs. Use the MaxxBCL
parallel outputs feature in order to record the processed signal to a CD/DAT
recorder or to feed a broadcast console.
The MaxxBCL’s primary goal is to serve as the ultimate control unit for SR ap
-
plications. It allows you to get the most out of your system while maintaining
transparency and without overdriving the speakers.
Use the Compressor section for low level compression (deep thresholds
and low ratios) in order to smooth the overall mix.
Use the MaxxBass™ section to enhance the bass response of your PA sys-
tem without the need for subwoofers and without damaging your system’s
speakers.
Use the Limiter section for brick wall limiting to protect your system, and for
maximizing the overall level. For a system that has a limited low-frequency
response, use MaxxBass™ to compensate and bring back the perception
of low-end. For example, for a 3-way system that bottoms out at 60Hz, set
MaxxBass™ to about 55Hz.
