MaxxBCL Applications

The MaxxBCL performs all digital processes with 48-bit internal precision

(double precision). The internal processing is followed by requantization

(wordlength reduction) from the internal 48-bit data to 16 or 24-bit output

wordlengths. (Analog output always used the full 24-bit wordlength). The

system can also be used to requantize 24-bit input signals to 16-bit (via the

digital outputs only). This is suitable for 16-bit recording equipment such as

DAT and an ideal function for CDR applications.

The “Examples of Applications” chapter (p. 27) includes detailed examples

of MaxxBCL applications. However, you can use the MaxxBCL in many other

setups according to your needs, such as:

• Sound Reinforcement Applications

• Stage Monitoring

• Broadcasting or Webcasting

• Mastering

• Connecting the MaxxBCL to an Insert on a mixer channel

• Recording a mix through the MaxxBCL to your master recorderA/D and •

D/A conversion
