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. That's all it does, though you have control over the levels for mixing the band back together. 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. |
Not quite. This is an excerpt from BBE's white paper on their process:
"... There are several different versions of BBE process. The most authentic BBE process works as follows; BBE divides the frequency band into three. The low frequency range is below 145Hz, mid range is 145Hz to 2.5KHz and the high frequency range is over 2.5KHz. Most of fundamental frequencies are inside the mid frequency range, and the higher harmonics are in the high frequency range. The low and mid frequency ranges are delayed 2.5mS and 0.5mS (smooth linear delay with no steps) respectively compared to the high frequency range. The high frequency range is not delayed. Therefore the higher frequencies reach the ear before the fundamentals as they do in natural live sound...."
