I usually try not to make negative comments, and this isn't intended to be negative. The technical explanation in this video is incorrect. Sonic maximizer units do not "organize the signal." These units do several things to correct poor (cheap) speaker designs, such as apply EQ (boost highs and lows, cut mids) add some high & low frequency harmonics, and some will slightly delay HF to fix driver alignment. They make bad speakers sound better, and good ones sound worse.

Additionally, on the bass end, some sonic maximizers will add harmonic bass tones as well. Overall, the unit can sound great in a small room, you have to be REALLY careful in a large room at high volume, or it will make your sound really harsh. For high volume, "less is more". You will need to adjust to each room to taste.

well have at it Bro..those guys are musicians not sound engineers. Every musician on a stage always has a sound they are looking for. That doesn't often translate in a live music audience or a professional recording studio. I rarely see those things in studios. and when they are it's mostly just to make a musician who's hanging on to the idea that it's a solution happy as he's' paying the bill.As for gear snobs...less is more.

Now you only need to provide food for the little elves inside the sonic maximizer that arrange the little triangles, squares and circles. They'll strike if they don't get fed properly and then your signal gets stuck.

My understanding is that the maximiser delayed frequencies so that they all arrive at your ear from the speaker at the same time? Bass middle and treb from a speaker arrive at different times so the max rigs it so they don't. Less phase and less mud- clearer sound. I think that's it anyhow.....?

He actually gave a really good dumbed down explanation of what it does. Ive owned one for 7 years. Basically its and eq that works in a different way. If you have and eq you dont have to get one but if you dont have an eq it will definately make your sound, sound much richer an you will never really need an eq afterwards. Basically instead of elliminating sound like and EQ it arranges the frequencies in a way so that they are more distinct and clear with out elliminating frequencies you may want

Guitar player here, this is a great piece of equipment - the best way I can describe it ( when using it for my application ) is when it's engaged it makes the guitar speaker sound as if a blanket was removed covering the speaker cabinet. The fidelity is amazing. I have two of them and I HIGHLY recommend anyone doing sound, DJ, Guitar, Bass etc etc etc purchase one. I guarantee you will never look back and will consider it a staple in your rig as I do.

WHAT IT DOES! The BBE Sonic Maximizer splits the lows/mids/highs by miliseconds fattening and boosting the signal.It's an EQ. I use to run the 462 (stereo.2 chanell) between an ADA/MP1 & a Peavey Classic 60/60 tube power amp and it was awesome.

Hey folks, these units will always make your over all Color,Tone,Presence & Punch sound as good as most of you can ever expect because most every one i know (i know hundreds of engineers & professional stereo elites) and they all agree that having either of these "BBE Sonic Maximizer Units"(set correctly & in context ) will enhance all your Sparkling Highs & Lows with absolute brilliance and that;s why these "BBE Sonic Maximizers" are therefore "patented" because of the Value they bring to Music

I used one of these once, and it rearranged the sounds so much, that the song came out of the speakers backwards.

Pretty good equipment. I've actually heard nothing but good reviews for this, with a 5 star rating on musician's friend. Thanks for posting the comparisons, as I'm sure this is what many of us were looking for! Can't wait to buy one.

The effect is that you will "hear" high tones separated form the lows in a way that gets closer to the way the sound would travel when playing live. So in a way.. it does "sort" our the signal. Hope this helps.

Studios will use different equipment then what the average dj may have. A sonic maximizer is more used in the playback of sound then in the recording of it. Guitarists may use it for their amps but that is also for the playback output of the sound.

I am mobile dj and my loud speakers are powered (I use two EV zlx15 and I have one EV elx 118 subwoofer) so I don’t have to use amplifier. My speakers sound great and clear already. Would that maximizer still add more punch and make the sound clear and bright even more?
