482i Sonic Maximizer
The 482i is perfect for semi-pro applications not requiring balanced jacks. With true dual-mono operation, the 482i is two independent BBE SONIC MAXIMIZER™ signal processors in one chassis.
Now with 4th-generation processing.
The 482i Sonic Maximizer restores an audio signals natural brilliance and clarity by the use of two primary functions. First it adjusts a signal’s phase relationships between it’s low, mid and high frequencies while progressively adding longer delay times to lower frequencies, this creates a kind of “mirror curve created by the speaker neutralizing its phase distortion. Secondly the Sonic Maximizer augments higher and lower frequencies; loudspeakers tend to be less efficient in their extreme treble and bass ranges. The end result is a dynamic program-driven restoration without the ear fatigue that is normally experienced with the use of equalizers or exciters.

Reviews
"An extraordinary device. It is effective and unobtrusive giving better apparent highs and improving clarity ...its outstanding characteristic is its naturalness of sound ...had superb sound qualities." -Audio
". . . phenomenal separation of instruments . . . clarinets, oboes, bassoons, and other reeds are refreshingly distinct in tone. The same goes for French horns and trombones, or violins and violas."
