It's a 3-way crossover that applies a delay to the highest band and a slightly shorter delay to the mid-band while leaving the low band alone.

It's designed to help compensate for the poor alignment of drivers within large speaker cabinets (notice how the tweeters are further forward than the woofers?) used for PA systems. They have no place in any kind of studio. |
Agreed. What you describe is phase and amplitude correction and thus the reason it should go in before PA systems. But, you can also use them in guitar and keyboards racks to add some type of phase distortion effects. In the old days I used the BBE "Maxie" to make cleaner sounding cassette copies.
