How to Hook Up a Crossover to a Sonic Maximizer
Sonic Maximizer is a frequency enhancer manufactured by BBE Sound and used for live, recorded and broadcast sound applications. In live audio system signal paths, sound enhancement devices, including compressors, equalizers and the Sonic Maximizer, are hooked up prior to the frequency crossover, which is then routed to power amps and speaker systems. Connecting the Sonic Maximizer to the crossover relies on standard audio input/output protocol and common audio interconnect cables. Stereo connection of the Sonic Maximizer is detailed in the product instructions. Mono operation is facilitated by using channel "A" input and output connection jacks.
- Four shielded interconnect cables (1/4-inch TS, TRS or XLR connectors depending on equipment and balanced/unbalanced connection preference)
