The BBE Process - ‘What it is’ Loudspeakers have difficulty dealing with the electronic signals supplied by an amplifier. These difficulties cause such major phase and amplitude distortion that the sound reproduced by a 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.

PROCESS CONTROL: This control adjusts the amount of phase corrected treble frequencies. 3. BBE FUNCTION: This switch allows for the quick comparison of the processed and unprocessed sound. 4. INPUT PAD: This switch allows the user to select between an instrument input (input impedance = 1 MEG OHMs), or a line level input (input impedance = 12k OHMs). 5.
