General Operation
THE BBE 362XL IS A LINE LEVEL SIGNAL PROCESSOR AND IS TO BE CONNECTED PRIOR TO
THE POWER AMP IN ANY AUDIO SYSTEM. SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE MAY BE INFLICTED TO
THE BBE 362XL OR ANY SUBSEQUENT COMPONENT IN THE SYSTEM IN THE EVENT THE
OUTPUT OF A POWER AMP IS CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE INPUT OF THE BBE 362XL.
In order to reduce the risk of damage to any equipment, properly connect all cables and power cables before
turning on any components in the system. Most important of all, ALWAYS TURN ON THE POWER AMPLIFIER
LAST TO AVOID DAMAGING THE SPEAKERS OR THE AMP.
The BBE 362XL may be utilized in a number of different environments and its results may vary accordingly.
Because both channels are completely independent from each other, only one channel of the BBE 362XL may
be used, or each channel processing a different signal source. The effects loop is the ideal placement in the signal
chain of a guitar application. In a pre-amp, keyboard or P.A. application, the BBE 362XL works best as the last
component in the signal chain, just before the crossover or power amp. Important: In a P.A. application, never
connect the BBE 362XL into the effects loop. The inherent phase shift of the BBE Process will cause phase
cancellation resulting in a partial loss of signal.
BBE and Equalization
The most common question asked of the BBE Sound, Inc. service department is: “Where does the BBE Processor
connect in the signal chain, before or after the equalizer?” Many people find that the same amount of
equalization is no longer needed, if at all, when a BBE processor is used. Additionally, the amount of equalization
used will help determine the BBE 362XL’s proper location in the signal chain: If the EQ is being set to give the
room a flat response as determined by a spectrum analyzer, the BBE 362XL will work properly before or after the
EQ. (Placing the BBE 362XL after the EQ is recommended.) If the EQ is being used for drastic tone alteration, the
recommended placement would be before the EQ. Neither of these configurations will harm the BBE 362XL.
