MaxxBass 102 provides a dramatic improvement in bass response and overall audio quality in systems constrained by budget, size or power consumption without increasing stress on the speakers or amplifiers. MaxxBass 102 (and 101) is the first MaxxBass hardware products for commercial sound installations such as:

?Public Address
?House of Worship
?Lecture Hall and Boardrooms
? Sound Reinforcement á Club Sound
?Multimedia Kiosk

Waves patented MaxxBass technology uses psycho-acoustics to deliver the sensation of lower frequency response without exceeding speaker driver excursion limits, adding or changing speakers or amplifiers, and without increased power consumption.

MaxxBass has only a few simple controls and indicators on its front panel. Controls are provided for input trim, MaxxBass frequency, MaxxBass intensity, bypass and lock. Indicator LEDs are provided to left/right signal presence, bypass, lock and power status

The innovative MaxxBass process allows the generation of deeper, more natural sounding bass, while placing less stress on loudspeakers and amplifiers. Founded on the principle of the "Missing Fundamental," discovered by organ-builders in the early 18th century, MaxxBass generates a specific set of harmonics in response to the presence of bass signals. These harmonics give the impression of a significant bass extension without the drawbacks of simple EQ - which can overload the amp and speakers - or subharmonic generation, which can actually damage PA systems by presenting bass that the system cannot handle. MaxxBass actually reduces the stress on audio system components, at the same time compensating for speaker bass limitations.

MaxxBass 102 is a half length 1U system. Provides analog I/O on RCA connectors ( -10dBu sensitivity).
