The
BBE® Max-X3™ is a highly sophisticated 2-way stereo/3-way
mono crossover. Housed in a compact and easy-to-use package, it
provides a variety of options for virtually all live sound reinforcement
amplifier configurations. Max-X3's logical design makes it simple
to understand and easy to use, and its sonic integrity promises
clean, distortionfree
audio with a predictable, repeatable range of control. The Max-X3
makes state-ofthe-art crossover technology affordable, but this
unit is much more than a high-quality, superbly engineered crossover.
The Max-X3 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 Max-X3 employs BBE's
latest High Definition Sound technology, in the very same 4th Generation
BBE Professional chipset which powers the BBE 482i and 882i Sonic
Maximizers.
The Max-X3 employs state-variable 4th-order Linkwitz-Riley filters.
This filter design minimizes phase inaccuracies in the critical
crossover region and ensures the output at all frequencies remains
in-phase, which is critical for the accurate summing of each driver
in a speaker stack. The Linkwitz-Riley filter design has a very
steep 24dB/octave slope, which ensures that each driver designed
to reproduce a specific frequency range is not driven beyond its
limits.
The “over-engineering” in the Max-X3 ensures excellent
sonic performance, with all the features demanded in a true professional
product. By offering a superb, full-featured 2-way stereo/ 3-way
mono crossover with an integrated BBE Sonic Maximizer system, the
Max-X3 has no equal at any price.
