Turning on/off the BBEII function
The BBEII* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording,
broadcasts, etc.
Whena speakerreproducessound, it introducesfrequency-dependent phase shifting,causing
high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds.The BBEII
function adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies by adding
a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies
reach the listener’s ears at the proper time.
In addition, the BBEII function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to
be less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation. When
combined with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more
finely detailed “live” presence.
Each time you press BBE, the BBEII function changes as follows.
As the number gets higher, the BBEII function becomes stronger.
When shipped from the factory, the BBEII function is set to “BBE 2.”
To cancel the BBEII function, select “BBE OFF.”
