882i & 482i Sonic Maximizers BBE Sound Inc. has launched two new models, the BBE 882i and the 482i Sonic Maximizer signal processors.  According to the BBE Product Manager, both were designed to offer far greater strength under demanding applications such as sound reinforcement and touring.  These units, which feature a 1/4" thick extruded aluminum faceplate anchored to chassis via hex head bolts, also benefit from improved graphics which are easier to read in poorly lit environments.  In addition, new knurled, aluminum knobs have been incorporated for ease of control and a more positive feel, often critical to musicians, live sound mixers and DJs making fine adjustments mid-performance.  Both models employ 1% metal film resistors and military spec PCBs with extra thick traces.  Furter optimizing signal flow, all pots, switches and jacks mount directly to the PC boards of these units, which also feature the extremenly quiet, proprietary Sonic Maximizer op amp, designed by BBE.
