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.
