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.
