In Reply to: Is the latest BBE 882i Maximizer totally different than the original beast? posted by Quiet Earth on October 2, 2006 at 22:47:42:
anything that 'processes' sound gets a bad rap with Audiophools but most don't realize that recording studios are full of this type of equipment. I have my 882i's balanced outputs feeding a new Crown XTi2000 amp. With the BBE 'in process' the sound takes on a clarity, especially in the mid band, that is suble but at the same time astonishing. In no way does the sound take on a processed nature. It sounds completely natural, the way recordings are meant to sound. Ignore mine and everyone elses post and try one out for yourself. Most online retailers have a 30 day return policy. Mine will never go back.

We're the audience; you're the artists. You're SUPPOSED to be creating sound--if you use processing crap that's your perogative; if we don't like it we won't listen to your stuff.
But a lot of us "audiophools"--not all--are committed to doing our best to hear whatever you decide to create, good or bad. That means no extra processing on our end. What's the problem with that?
i've always wondered about a bbe unit. kind of intrigued actually. i'm using mackie 824's w 2 subs. i'm running rca's to the mackies fr my preamp. for about $170 i can get the unbalanced version w rca jacks and put it between my preamp and mackies. what do you think? how clean is the bypass mode? worth a try, or is it strictly a pro audio tool, not for the home? thanks
in a home system. You could use 1/4 Phono to RCA adapters from Radio Shack to make the conversion. I run a second 882i in my home system but you could use a 482i (362 is a third gen processor unlike the 482i & 882i which are 4th gen). It adds no noise or hiss to the chain.
Thanks for your honest opinion. I agree about not being afraid to "process" because in my home studio that's what it's all about. I am creating sound, not re-creating it. I think I'm just getting some bad vibes from the home stereo crowd. (I can understand why)
