BBE™*
The
BBE™
processor,
incorporated
into
the
3342,
compensates
for
the
inherent
loss
of
the
natural
balance
of
harmonic
time
alignment
found
in
most
speaker
systems.
SUBWOOFER OUTPUT
The
3342's
subwoofer
output
is
activated
when
the
internal
dividing
network
is
turned
on.
The
subwoofer's
output
is
low-pass,
and
crossed
over
at
80Hz.
The
lowpass
outputs
have
a
slope
of
18
dB per
octave.
SUBWOOFER LEVEL CONTROL
Use
this
control
to
conveniently
adjust
the
subwoofer
output
to
compensate
for
the
varied
sub-bass
content
of
different
tyoes
of
source
material.
Different
ambient
conditions
(e.g.
driving
versus
parked)
can
also
be
compensated.

the
phase
of
the

crossover,
can
prevent
suck-out
at
the
crossover
point,
caused
by
the
phase
changes
inherent
in
a
dividing
network.
