i'm sorry, but a few people here are buying the complete marketing nonsense that BBE is selling.

I understand phase shift problems, and the benefits of time alignment.

but how can FIXED delay times, with some arbitrary FIXED chosen crossover points to divide the bass, mid and high frequency bands, correct the time alignment problems between drivers in a multitude of different speaker designs and brands (all w/ different crossover points), or an indeterminate amount of different variables in pa systems (all w/ VARIABLE crossover points)?

and remember, we're NOT talking about pa systems circa 2003-2009, with line arrays and lake processors, either. BBE was talking this crap in 1985.

bob katz is correct, it's a distortion generator.
the aphex aural exciter in the later '70's was another one.
...and wow, aphex had the studios over a barrel with that one for a few seconds.
google the history of that one...
i'm sure a few other older engineers here will remember what aphex tried to pull with that invention.

but, they were fun for about five minutes.
