Operation
Selecting BBE Mode
The BBE (Barcus Berry Electronics) processor installed in this unit is designed to correct the phase distortion inherent in most loudspeaker designs. Ensuring the phase integrity of the signal driving the speakers improves the accurate reproduction of the sound. When used in conjunction with the equalizer and sound field effects, optimum sound space enhancement can take place.
Press the BBE button.
