The BBE Process-"What it Is"
Loudspeakers have difficulty working with the electronic signals supplied by an
amplifier. These difficulties cause such major phase and amplitude distortion
that the sound reproduced by the speaker differs significantly from the sound
produced by the original source.
In the past, these problems proved unsolvable and were thus relegated to a
position of secondary importance in audio system design. However, phase and
amplitude integrity is essential to accurate sound reproduction. Research shows
that the information which the listener translates into the recognizable
characteristics of a live performance are intimately tied into complex time and
amplitude relationships between the fundamental and harmonic components of a
given musical note or sound. These relationships define a sound's "sound".
When these complex relationships pass through a speaker, the proper order is
lost. The higher frequencies are delayed. A lower frequency may reach the
listener's ear first or perhaps simultaneously with that of a higher frequency.
In some cases, the fundamental components may be so time-shifted that they reach
the listener's ear ahead of some or all of the harmonic components.
This change in the phase and amplitude relationship on the harmonic and
fundamental frequencies is technically called "envelope distortion." The
listener perceives this loss of sound integrity in the reproduced sound as
"muddy" and "smeared." In the extreme, it can become difficult to tell the
difference between musical instruments, for example, an oboe and a clarinet.
BBE Sound, Inc. conducted extensive studies of numerous speaker systems over a
ten year period. With this knowledge, it became possible to identify the
characteristics of an ideal speaker and to distill the corrections necessary to
return the fundamental and harmonic frequency structures to their correct order.
While there are differences among various speaker designs in the magnitude of
their correction, the overall pattern of correction needed is remarkably
consistent.
The BBE Process is so unique that 42 patents have been awarded by the U.S.
Patent Office.
