BBE Sound Inc has introduced the BMAX bass preamp/processor with
applications in the recording studio and on the road.
Employing solid state
technology, the BMAX offers a class A/B preamp section designed to produce the warmth, dynamic range, punch and clarity usually associated with
all-tube designs. Incorporating one of the company's full-feature BBE Sonic
Maximizers, the BMAX combines this with a solid state quasi-parametric
equaliser and optical compressor.
To maintain the highest sonic integrity,
all switches, pots and connectors are connected directly to the circuit
board of the BMAX. Additionally, extra-wide and double-thick traces are
used throughout to ensure the best electron flow.
Other
features include an active, electronically balanced direct output with
ground lift, military spec circuit boards, 1% metal film resistors, FX loop,
plus footswitches for the Sonic Maximizer and compressor functions. Further
additions include interactive bright switch, inputs for both passive and
active pickups, balanced XLR and TRS outputs.
The front panel is made with 1/4 inch thick
extruded aluminium, finished off with red-abalone topped
knobs.
