The MaxxBCL from Waves is a hardware unit containing three processors and housed in a 2U rack-mount chassis. The unit contains a bass enhancer, dual mode compressor and look ahead peak limiter, processors based on Waves' successful plug-ins. The MaxxBass also contains a high definition set of input and output digital converters with comprehensive connectivity.
For broadcast, the unit can help in providing bass boost without cutting into the signal headroom, while providing a well-mannered signal to codecs. Its combination of world-class bass enhancement, compression and limiting, plus its rugged construction make it the ideal hardware solution for live venues of all shapes and sizes. It can increase bass response while reducing low frequency energy and relieves the strain on power amps and speakers.
Mastering and Post Production benefit from the MaxxBCL by allowing the engineer to create audio that translates well to every kind of system, large and small. Premium 24-bit A/D and D/A converters with high definition 96kHz sample rate and 48-bit double precision internal signal processing is aided by a passive analog input path with superior quality transformers. IDR (Increased Digital Resolution) with noise shaping and dithering provides the final link in the process.
