Product Details

They say that in electronics there's no new technology - the only changes will be in size and applications. Things will simply keep getting smaller while doing more. This is certainly true in music, but as we design smaller playback systems with small speakers, there are also some tradeoffs, particularly in music. Clever cabinet designs and high-excursion drivers can get you only so far. Any audio engineer trying to extract bass from real-world components must eventually face the laws of physics: All things being equal, small boxes and speaker cones can't move enough air to produce a room-shaking low end. When working with systems tiny enough to toss in a shoulder bag, the challenge is even more formidable. Interestingly enough, Waves MaxxBass 101 has a new solution to this problem using a very old concept. MaxxBass uses the psycho-acoustic phenomenon of the "missing fundamental" to add specific harmonics to the original audio signal. This effect was originally discovered by organ builders in the 1700s who were trying to deliver deep pedal tones on smaller organs. It took Waves, the leader in computer-based processing to audio professionals to optimize this effect to compensate for speaker bass limitations.

• 1U rack system
• 2-channel unit with controls for Input Trim, (effect) Frequency, and Intensity
• Front-panel LEDs provide indication of signal presence independently for left and right channels, Bypass, Lock, and Power
• The rear panel provides a lock button, which disables the Frequency and Intensity front-panel functions, effectively locking in the current settings
• A bypass button switches off the bass enhancement system
• Each input features terminal block, XLR, and TRS connectors balanced or unbalanced, at +4dBu sensitivity
• Each output features terminal block, XLR, and TRS connectors, balanced or unbalanced, at +4dBu sensitivity
• MaxxBass 101 supports frequency settings in the range of 25 - 100Hz
• RS232 serial connector on rear panel for future updates
