BBE Maxcom Dual Compressor
The BBE® MaxCom™ is a highly sophisticated
Dual-Channel Compressor and Limiter with Gate, housed in a compact and easy-to-use
package. It provides a live or recorded mix with all the clean, clear punch that
only a truly professional dynamics controller can. However, the MaxCom is much
more than a high-quality, superbly engineered compressor/limiter. The MaxCom is
the first signal processor of its kind to feature an on-board BBE Sonic Maximizer.
The BBE High Definition Sound process employed by the Sonic Maximizer is world
renown among music and sound professionals for remarkable improvements in total
sound quality, bringing crystalline clarity and air to the source material as
well as revealing rich harmonic subtleties. The MaxCom employs BBE's latest High
Definition Sound technology, in the very same 4th Generation BBE Professional
chipset which powers the 482i and 882i Sonic Maximizers.
The “over-engineering” in the MaxCom ensures that both its compression and gating provide versatility and excellent sonic performance in situations where other compressor/gates often produce undesirable processing artifacts. At the heart of the MaxCom is a THAT Corporation VCA known throughout the industry as the premier dynamics processing VCA. This single-rack-space dynamics processor includes two independent full-featured compressor/limiters, each channel having independent controls for Threshold, Compression Ratio, Attack Time and Release Time. Additionally, the MaxCom’s “linking” function allows for phase-coherent tracking of stereo signals and adjustment from the Channel One controls. Comprehensive metering is achieved via dual bar-graph meters on each channel that indicate Input Level and Gain Reduction.
MaxCom’s intuitive design makes it easy to operate, and its rigorous engineering and robust construction assure clean, distortion free audio and a predictable, repeatable range of control from undetectable to clearly identifiable. Whether the goal is to pull a “lost” instrument up in the mix, control vocal levels or dial in hard-limited speaker protection, the MaxCom can accomplish the task with ease, reliability and sonic excellence. By offering a superb, full-featured compressor/limiter with an integrated BBE Sonic Maximizer system, the MaxCom has no equal at any price.
